Newcastle and Fulham both endured miserable midweek results in the Premier League, meaning both will be looking to get back on track on Saturday. But, can the Magpies reignite their hopes of a European finish under Eddie Howe?
Newcastle and Fulham will both come into this round of matches under pressure, with the away team desperately needing a positive result to move into seventh spot in the standings. Newcastle were unfortunate in their previous match in the competition, as they failed to see out a 1-0 scoreline at home against Everton. But, they have suffered just one defeat across their last four in the Premier League.
Fulham will also have questions to answer this weekend after suffering a humbling 3-1 away loss against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday. Marco Silva was left fuming with his players, and he rang the changes after half an hour by making three substitutions. The Cottagers sit 13th in the standings, but they could move into the top half of the standings with a home victory over the Magpies.
Newcastle’s record in London this term would be a pressing concern ahead of this fixture, as they are winless in four visits to the capital this term. They have lost on each of their previous three. The Magpies have also endured a miserable record on the road this term after losing nine of their 14 matches away from the North East.
Fulham’s home record could be a key trend to consider this weekend, with the Cottagers having won nine of their 15 matches at Craven Cottage this term. That is the most wins that they have recorded in a single campaign since 2011-12. Meanwhile, they have scored at least three goals in seven of their nine wins this term.
The head-to-head record makes for grim reading for Fulham, as they have picked up just one victory in their last ten league matches against the Magpies. Their only success was achieved in March 2014. Meanwhile, they have failed to score in seven of their last matches that they have played against Newcastle.
Fulham have impressed in home matches throughout this season, but it could be challenging to overlook their poor record against the Magpies. Therefore, we will be siding with Newcastle landing a fifth straight victory against the Cottagers.
