Fulham vs Newcastle prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-09-20 14:00.
[p]It’s been a chastening week for Fulham, who after being denied victory at the death by West Ham in a game they dominated, were dumped out of the League Cup in midweek after a remarkable penalty shootout against Preston which ended 16-15! Each of their last three matches have now ended 1-1 after 90 minutes, with their tally of five points from four league outings (W1, D2, L1) perhaps a harsh reflection based on their performances to date.[/p]
[p]Still, Marco Silva’s men can go three league matches unbeaten at Craven Cottage for the first time since February if they avoid defeat against Newcastle. Recent history suggests that’s a tall order considering that the Cottagers have failed to win any of the last eight top-flight H2Hs (D2, L6), with the last four on home soil all ending in defeat.[/p]
[p]Newcastle should arrive in the capital full of confidence after stringing together three consecutive wins in all competitions, most recently a come-from-behind 2-1 win at Wolves. The Magpies are one of five sides yet to taste defeat in the Premier League ahead of the round (W3, D1), with their ten points accumulated their most at this stage of a top-flight campaign since 1995/96.[/p]
[p]Eddie Howe’s men now look to extend their unbeaten away run in the league to four outings (W2, D1), while they’re also out to win successive games on the road in this competition for the first time since February. Concern could stem from the visitors’ return of just one clean sheet across their last 18 away league fixtures, but as that came at this venue, Newcastle look to hold the psychological edge here too. [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Fulham could look to Raúl Jiménez for inspiration here as he’s already opened the scoring for them inside 30 minutes on two occasions this season. Newcastle’s Harvey Barnes came off the bench to score the winner last weekend meaning that six of his seven strikes for the Magpies have either served as the first or last goal in matches. [/p]
[p]Hot stat: Newcastle have conceded an average of nine corners per Premier League outing this season – the joint-most in the competition. [/p]
