The Premier League weekend rolls on, and this one’s shaping up to be a tasty clash at St James’ Park. Newcastle United are back on home turf, desperate to find some consistency, while Fulham arrive still searching for their first away win of the season.
Newcastle’s home form hasn’t been bad at all — they’ve taken six wins from their last ten at St James’ Park. Fulham, though, can’t say the same. Seven defeats in their last ten on the road and three straight away losses tell you exactly how things have been going for them.
So, will Newcastle make home advantage count again, or can Fulham finally break their travel curse? Let’s take a closer look.
There’s not a huge list of absences this week, but both sides come into this one with things to prove. Newcastle’s home form remains their biggest strength — they’ve kept two clean sheets in four league matches at St James’ Park and scored six times in that run. Their back line looks steady, and the fans will expect another strong defensive showing.
Fulham’s biggest issue? Goals. Away from home, they’ve found the net just three times all season and failed to score in one of their four away fixtures. Defensively, they’ve been shaky too, conceding nine goals on the road and keeping zero clean sheets.
It’s been that kind of story for Fulham lately — hard work, flashes of quality, but not enough to get over the line. Newcastle will fancy their chances to capitalise on that.
Newcastle look like the stronger bet here. Six wins from ten at home versus Fulham’s seven losses from ten away — the numbers almost tell the whole story. The Magpies have been sharper at both ends, while Fulham’s defence continues to leak goals.
Best Tip: Newcastle United to Win.
They’ve got the home edge, better recent form, and Fulham’s away struggles only make that more convincing.
If you like goal markets, Over 1.5 Goals looks like the safest play. Both teams have seen at least two goals in most of their recent matches — and with Newcastle’s attacking intent and Fulham’s leaky defence, that should hold up again.
Both teams scoring? Yeah, I can see that. Fulham tend to grab one even when they lose. So, BTTS (Yes) is worth a look too.
Well, I don’t see this one ending quietly. Newcastle at home are usually strong starters, and once they get going, they can pin teams back. Fulham will fight — they’ve got enough in midfield to cause problems — but over 90 minutes, the hosts should have too much quality.
Newcastle to control possession, keep the tempo high, and look for spaces behind Fulham’s full-backs. Fulham might snatch a goal from a counter or set piece, but it’s hard to see them keeping Newcastle quiet.
Match Prediction: Newcastle. Bet with bet365.
Alright, let’s get specific. Fulham rarely get hammered, but they can’t seem to grind out points away from home either. Newcastle aren’t exactly flying, but they’re still solid enough to win this type of game.
I’m leaning towards a 2–1 home win. Newcastle to score early, Fulham to respond, and then the Magpies to finish it off late. Nothing flashy — just business done.
Correct Score Prediction: Newcastle 2–1 Fulham. Bet with bet365.
If you’re into goals markets, here’s what stands out. Both sides have been involved in open games lately — 80% of Newcastle’s home matches and 80% of Fulham’s away games have seen both teams score. That’s pretty telling.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a combo that sums up how I see this one playing out:
It’s simple, logical, and matches the trends perfectly. Fulham should get one, but Newcastle’s overall quality and home record should see them through.
