Newcastle United vs Fulham Preview and Team News

Newcastle United Team News

Newcastle United, who have been on the ascendancy in the Premier League in recent seasons, will aim to cement their place in the top four with a home win over Fulham. After a massive 3-1 win over Southampton in their last league outing, Eddie Howe’s men know they must continue with their momentum and not throw it away.

The likes of Wilson, Barnes, and Lascelles have been sidelined for this game, and this will worry Newcastle somewhat. However, they know they can rely on Swedish attacker Alexander Isak, who’s been in fine fettle this season, netting on 17 occasions. 

They are currently ranked in the fifth position of the league table with 41 points, tied with Manchester City.

Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Fulham (4-3-3): Dubravka; Hall, Burn, Schar, Livramento; Joelinton, Tonali, Guimaraes; Gordon, Isak, Murphy.

Fulham Team News

Fulham were beaten within a narrow 0-1 margin by Manchester United in their last outing in the Premier League. They’ll hope to recover quickly from that loss and challenge Newcastle. Although playing away from home and in front of the boisterous crowd at St James’ Park, the guests will be keen on testing their hybrid defensive system.

With Kenny Tete and Reiss Nelson ruled out till February, coach Marco Silva will have to devise ingenious ways of picking up at least one point against the hosts on Saturday. 

Fulham are currently ranked 10th in the Premier League with 33 points. They’ll want to end it close to the top six by the end of the season to compete in any European competition in their next campaign.

Fulham predicted lineup vs Newcastle (4-2-3-1): Leno; Robinson, Bassey, Andersen, Castagne; Berge, Lukic; Iwobi, Smith Rowe, Wilson; Jimenez.

Newcastle United vs Fulham Prediction

• Pick: Newcastle United to win
• Odds: 1.66 (22Bet)
• Score prediction: Newcastle United 2-1 Fulham

Newcastle United are the overwhelming favourites to win this game, and given the quality of their attackers, we expect them to do so easily. As mentioned earlier, Isak will be expected to do most of the scoring. 

Although they lost the reverse fixture 1-3, the home side have beaten Fulham in four out of their previous five encounters against them.

Newcastle United vs Fulham Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Total over 2 goals
• Odds: 1.28 (22Bet)

Two of the last four games between these opponents saw a total of over two goals, and we anticipate the same in this encounter. Newcastle United have seen this result in four of their previous matches, while Fulham have seen it happen in three of their last five.

The guest’s attackers will need to be aware of how their rival defenders like to mark any adversaries. Their fullbacks do not give their opposition wingers any space, which reduces Fulham’s chances of coming in a straight line and not through the flanks in the final third.
