Newcastle United will be looking to put a poor run of domestic results behind them when they return to Premier League action on Saturday. Fulham will be the visitors to St. James’ Park after recording victories in each of their previous two matches in the competition.
Premier League Preview
Eddie Howe will be hopeful that his side can get back on track in the Premier League this weekend. Newcastle come into the latest round of matches after suffering defeats in each of their previous two. That run of form means that the Magpies now sit seventh in the standings, and they are seven points adrift of the Champions League positions.
Newcastle were well below the standard required in their previous match in the Premier League, as they dropped to a 4-1 loss on the road against Tottenham. The Magpies rarely threatened the Spurs goal throughout that match, and they were fortunate to score a late consolation. It is also the first time since November 2017 that they had lost back-to-back matches by three-goal margins.
Fulham’s league form continues to impress, as Marco Silva’s side registered a second straight 5-0 success in the Premier League last weekend. The Cottagers were excellent against the Hammers, with Raul Jimenez getting himself among the scorers. Other players to find the net in the success included Willian, Harry Wilson, and Carlos Vinicius.
It was the first time that they had scored at least three goals in four straight matches in the top-flight since October 1961. The victory lifted Fulham into the top half of the standings, and they could potentially move up another place in the league standings if they are able to record a famous away win against Newcastle.
Newcastle United vs Fulham Head to Head
Newcastle boast a fine recent record in this fixture, as they have recorded wins in each of the last three. That includes a 1-0 success in this exact fixture last term. However, that remains their only home win against the Cottagers in their previous three. But, Fulham are winless against Newcastle since a home win in March 2014.
Newcastle United vs Fulham Prediction
Newcastle’s record in this fixture could be the key angle to follow this weekend. Therefore, we will be siding with the Magpies to get their campaign back on track with an impressive showing against the Cottagers at St. James’ Park.
