Newcastle vs Fulham Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League matchday 24 action continues as Newcastle United hosts Fulham at the Magpies Stadium on Saturday. Can the Magpies get back to winning ways on their home patch, or will the Craven Cottager secure their first win since 2017?
Newcastle United Preview & Form
Newcastle United will head into this weekend’s Premier League game on the back of an impressive victory last weekend. The Magpies ended their remarkable ten-match winning streak across all competitions by suffering a 4-1 loss at home to Bournemouth at St. James Park. However, Eddie Howe’s team bounced back with a strong 3-1 win away against rock-bottom Southampton thanks to a brace scored by Alexander Isak and Sandro Tonali scoring late in the second half. Last weekend’s victory keeps Eddie Howe’s men in great contention for European competitions. Currently, the Magpies sit fifth in the Premier League standings with 41 points from 23 games, the same points as Manchester City in the top four and three points behind third-place Nottingham Forest. The Magpies’ frontline led by Alexander Isak has scored in each of their last 11 matches.
Eddie Howe’s men will be eager to return to winning ways at St. James Park, having halted their impressive three-match home winning streak in the league with a 4-1 defeat against Bournemouth. They have also scored at least a goal in each of their last five home league games.
Fulham Preview & Form
Fulham will make the trip to St. James Park on the back of a painful 1-0 defeat against Manchester United at Craven Cottage Stadium on Sunday night. The defeat further acknowledges the Cottager’s inconsistency with form this season, as they have only won two of their last nine league games. Currently, Marcos Silva’s men sit 10th in the Premier League table with 33 points from 23 games, seven points behind the European spot. They have a strong attacking frontline, having scored at least two goals in five of their last six league matches.
Marcos Silva’s men have been strong when playing away from their home soil in recent games, losing just once of their last seven road games in the Premier League. The Cottagers have scored in each of their last 10 away matches. They will take confidence going to St James Park having secured an impressive 3-1 victory over Newcastle United in the first of the season at Craven Cottage Stadium.
