Newcastle vs Fulham Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Both these teams have been classified among the overachievers in the league, but Newcastle United will stand out here as the favorites, which is also captured by the bookies. A win for the Magpies is priced at 1.56 while a win for underdogs Fulham is offered at odds of 6.5 and a draw at 4.6.

Newcastle United will be buoyed by their comfortable 2-0 win over Leicester City in the League Cup quarter finals, a reprieve after going winless in three matches. The win saw them recover from a disappointing loss to Sheffield Wednesday in the FA Cup third round, which remains their only loss in 17 matches. Newcastle boast the best defence in the Premier League so far, having conceded 11 goals in 18 matches and they come into this game with eight clean sheets in 10 matches across all competitions. They’ve only conceded two goals in their last five matches and will be looking to improve on the two straight draws they’ve posted in the league. In league action, Newcastle United are unbeaten in 13 games and in the last four they’ve kept straight clean sheets. They are unbeaten in 10 home league matches, winning six. Fulham haven’t won this fixture in the last five meetings, losing three and will be hopeful of a lift here. They come into this game with five straight wins and a continuation of this run could see them break into the top five at the end of this round of matches. They will be motivated for this game after their 2-1 win over Chelsea in their last game, that being the fourth match in five where they scored two or more goals and they have three clean sheets in the last five. Three of their last five matches have also produced over 2.5 goals and they’ve failed to score in just one of their last 17 games in all competitions. Four straight wins in the league will lift them but they have just one clean sheet in the five games and seven of their last eight league matches have produced over 2.5 goals.
