This match will be played on 06/04/2024 at 22:00
Fulham will be aiming to make amends for a 3-1 loss to Nottingham. Forest when they take on Newcastle United in the Premier League round 32. The Cottagers have been involved in some high-scoring affairs of late and it has to be noted that over 2.5 goals have been netted in each of their last nine league fixtures. All Sasa Lukic, Alex Iwobi. Harry Wilson are expected to drop to the bench after the trio failed to impress in the midweek defeat. With Tom Cairney. Adam Traore, and Willian pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Meanwhile, the Magpies dropped two points in a 1-1 draw with Everton and given their poor away record in the 2023/2024. Premier League campaign, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Saturday’s showdown. The visitors are still hit by injuries, with all Kieran Trippier. Valentino Livramento, Miguel Almiron, Jamaal Lascelles, Lewis Miley, Callum Wilson, and Nick Pope continuing to miss out.
How the bookies view it
This is a tough one to call and it’s reflected in the odds, with Fulham 31/20 at JILICC and Newcastle United priced 7/4 with JILI CC. The draw will be popular at 14/5 with QuinnBet but I fancy. Fulham to edge this one given the Magpies have so many players missing in defence.
Recent head to head
Newcastle United have been a bogey team for. Fulham in recent seasons and they’ve gone eight games without defeat in this fixture. The last five clashes have ended in wins for the Magpies. Including a 2-0 FA Cup triumph on their last visit to Craven Cottage.
Players to watch
Rodrigo Muniz let Mark down in midweek but is still in incredible form with eight goals in his last nine outings. The striker has scored in last four games at Craven Cottage and is a tempting 13/8 at JILICC to keep that run going.
Anthony Gordon had to sit out Newcastle’s midweek draw with. Everton after a sending off in the thrilling win over West Ham. He returns fresh for this game and is 11/5 with JILICC for anytime scorer but an assist might be more likely once that market is priced up.
Fulham vs Newcastle Prediction
Both teams have been struggling badly to keep things quiet at the back lately and we can’t see either keeping a clean sheet on Saturday. Fulham allowed three goals in each of the previous two league clashes against Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest.
Each of the last nine games they played provided three or more goals. Newcastle shipped two or more goals in three of the previous four outings across competitions. Both teams were on target in eleven of their last twelve Premier League matches. The main bet has to be Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score at the 1.72 odds.
Alexander Isak has been on fire lately. He delivered three goals in two games within the last seven days. The Swedish striker has a chance to complete a perfect week by scoring in his third consecutive league game after the international break. We’ll back Isak to score anytime past this out-of-form Fulham defence at the sky-high 2.50 odds.
