Fulham vs Newcastle Prediction 21 Sep 2024

⚽ Premier League - Round 5 Preview

📅 21 Sep 2024

⏰ 15:00 GMT +1

🏟 Craven Cottage (London)

Fulham come into this match after a tough week, having been denied victory in the dying moments against West Ham in a game they largely dominated. To add to their frustration, they were eliminated from the League Cup after an extraordinary 16-15 penalty shootout defeat to Preston. With three consecutive 1-1 draws in all competitions, Fulham’s five points from four league matches (W1, D2, L1) feel like a somewhat harsh reflection on their performances so far. Nevertheless, they’ll aim to extend their unbeaten home streak in the Premier League to three matches, something they haven’t achieved since February. However, history is against them, as they’ve failed to win any of their last eight Premier League meetings with Newcastle (D2, L6), with four consecutive home defeats in this fixture.

Newcastle, on the other hand, are enjoying a strong run, having won three consecutive games in all competitions, including a resilient 2-1 comeback victory against Wolves. The Magpies are one of the few Premier League teams still unbeaten this season (W3, D1), and their ten points from four matches represent their best start to a top-flight campaign since 1995/96. Eddie Howe's side will aim to extend their unbeaten away streak in the league to four matches (W2, D1) and could achieve back-to-back road wins for the first time since February. Although Newcastle have struggled for clean sheets, managing just one in their last 18 away league games, that lone shutout came at Craven Cottage, giving them a psychological advantage in this clash.

💡 Fulham vs Newcastle Prediction

Fulham’s form has been patchy, and they’ll face a confident Newcastle side on a winning streak. While Fulham will hope to capitalize on their home advantage, Newcastle’s strong away form and superior head-to-head record could see them take the three points.
