Craven Cottage

Fulham are all set to host Newcastle United at Craven Cottage on Saturday in the Premier League. Fulham go into this game on the back of a 1-1 draw against West Ham. Fulham had more command of the game in the first half. That command gave them the lead in the 24th minute as Smith-Rowe found Jimenez with a composed pass before the Mexican beat Areola in goal. The Cottagers were heading in for their second successive home win; however, an equaliser right in the end from Ings broke their hearts.

Newcastle United travelled to the Molineux Stadium to face Wolverhampton Wanderers. The Magpies got off to a poor start with Lemina giving the hosts the lead in the 36th minute. Pope kept Newcastle United in the game by making a good stop to deny Cunha Wolves’ second. The game turned late in the second half as Fabian Schar unleashed a stunning shot from distance that took a slight touch off a Wolves player and beat Johnstone in goal. 5 minutes later, Barnes cut in and curled another jaw-dropping shot to put Newcastle United ahead. That ended up being the eventual winner as the Magpies held on for all 3 points.

Fulham vs Newcastle United Chance of Winning

When it comes to the recent head-to-head between Fulham and Newcastle United, it is the latter that has the advantage. In the last 23 meetings between these two teams, Newcastle United have won 12 times; 3 games ended in a draw, with Fulham winning 8 times.

Fulham have one big issue going into this game, and that is the amount of goals they score. The Cottagers have scored more than 1 goal in just 1 of their 4 games in the Premier League. Defending a 1-goal lead at times has drawn a lot of pressure on their defence. The attack needs to be more clinical in front of the goal and give their defence a better score to defend.

Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe could not have asked for a better start to the season; however, he would want his team to win more comfortably. Each of Newcastle United’s last 2 wins has come in death with them facing problems when it comes to breaking down oppositions. With everything considered, we do believe that Newcastle United have a better chance of winning this game.

Fulham vs Newcastle United predictions and betting tips

As per the majority of the betting websites and bookies, Newcastle United have the marginal backing to beat Fulham at Craven Cottage on Saturday. Newcastle United came into this game with a tinge of more confidence as they beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-1 away from home at the Molineux Stadium. Fulham, on the other hand, were held to a 1-1 draw by West Ham as they were close to getting the win. The difference between the two teams in terms of odds is marginal, showing that this game could tilt in any direction; however, Newcastle United have the backing of the bookies due to their better start to the season.

Fulham opened their Premier League campaign with a defeat to Manchester United at Old Trafford; however, post that, they have steadied the ship a little bit. They have not lost any of their last 3 games with 1 win and 2 draws. The one win came at home against Leicester City. Fulham have been a very hard team to beat under Marco Silva, especially at Craven Cottage.

Newcastle United have been one of the few teams that are yet to be beaten in the Premier League this season. They have won 3 of their 4 games, with 1 win coming on the road in their last game against the Wolves. The Magpies away from home have not been the most convincing, having drawn to Forest and only winning late against Wolves.

Based on the above numbers, here are our following tips and predictions. We back both Fulham and Newcastle United to score in this game. Newcastle United have scored in each of their 4 games in the Premier League this season. Fulham have scored in each of their last 3 games going into this. Our prediction is for Newcastle United to score 2 or more goals in this game. The Magpies head into this having scored two in each of their last two games. Fulham have an expected goal rate of 1.09 at home.

It remains to be seen if Alexander Isak is fit enough to start this game. The Swedish striker in the last game was substituted at halftime as he took a hit on his nose. If Isak starts, then he will be a good banker to trust in terms of scoring. Isak was looking good against the Wolves before he got injured. Before that, he also got the winner against Tottenham Hotspur at St James’ Park. The reason why Isak always gives a good shout whenever Newcastle United play is due to the shots he takes on goal. The striker averages 1.4 shots in his last 30 Premier League games. That resulted in him scoring 21 goals last season. We back Isak to get 2 or more shots against Fulham. Another candidate to back in terms of scoring if Isak does not start is Anthony Gordon, as he will be expected to start up front in his place.

Raul Jimenez was very good for Fulham in their last game, scoring the opener against West Ham. The Mexican striker in that game had 2 shots on target. Newcastle United do not have the steadiest of defences, and Jimenez likes to test the goalkeeper. Our call is for Jimenez to have 1 or more shots on target.

We do see this game being quite scrappy in the middle of midfield. Both teams have players who like to stop play by committing fouls. The two players to keep an eye out for will be Sasa Lukic and Bruno Guimares. Lukic averages 2.3 fouls per game in the Premier League this season; hence, we do see him committing 2+ fouls in this game. Bruno Guimares, on the other hand, averages 1.3 fouls per game this season. Hence, back him to foul 1 or more times in this game on Saturday.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

Newcastle United

The bookies in this game have given their preference to Newcastle United over Fulham; however, the difference in odds shows that this game is a tough one to predict. Fulham have not lost at home this season; however, they have not won at Craven Cottage a lot in recent games. Newcastle United came into this game on the back of a good win at Wolves. They are yet to lose a game in the league this season. However, some of their wins have not been very convincing. Fulham are bound to give them a tough fight in this game; however, we do believe that the Magpies have the attack to prevail. It remains to be seen if Isak is fit for this game considering he severely injured his nose. Newcastle United’s record at Craven Cottage is really good. Everything points to a Magpies win once again, but we believe this will be a tough game for them. Our prediction is a 2-1 Newcastle United win on Saturday against Fulham.
