Fulham

WWLWDL

Fulham will be hoping for a better result following the 3-1 Premier League losing effort in their last game against Nottingham Forest.

In that match, Fulham had 67% possession and 17 shots at goal with 3 on target. The scorer for Fulham was Tosin Adarabioyo (49'). For their opponents, Nottingham Forest got 16 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. Callum Hudson-Odoi (9'), Chris Wood (19') and Morgan Gibbs-White (45') scored for Nottingham Forest.

Fixtures featuring Fulham have tended to be engaging encounters of late with a lot of goalmouth action being a common characteristic. Over their past six clashes alone, the sum total of 20 goals have gone in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 12 of these coming from Fulham. That being said, time will tell if the trend might be replicated in this upcoming match or not.

Their previous form shows that Fulham:

• have not beaten Newcastle United in their last 7 league matches.
• are undefeated in their last 2 home league matches.

Newcastle United

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United have had reason to celebrate scoring a total of 10 times in the course of their latest six matches. The number of goals that they have conceded during those same clashes comes to 9.

Looking at their past form shows that Newcastle United:

• haven't been beaten by Fulham when they have played them away from home in the previous 3 league matches.
• are without an away win for the past 2 league games.

👥 Head to head

Delving into their past head to head meetings stretching back to 19/12/2020 reveals that these fixtures have been a source of anguish for Fulham. They have not managed to come away with any victories whatsoever whereas Newcastle United have simply been better than them, running out winners in 83% of those matches.

In all, 15 goals were produced between them throughout the course of those matches, with 2 of them from The Cottagers and 13 created by The Magpies. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.5.

📰 Team News: Fulham

The Fulham boss Marco Silva does not have any fitness concerns whatsoever before this clash thanks to a completely injury-free group to pick from.

In all likelihood, The Cottagers should employ a 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, utilising Bernd Leno, Timothy Castagne, Tosin Adarabioyo, Calvin Bassey, Antonee Robinson, Joao Palhinha, Harrison Reed, Alex Iwobi, Andreas Pereira, Willian and Rodrigo Muniz.

🗞️ Team News: Newcastle United

Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has a number of players out of action. Nick Pope (Shoulder injury), Callum Wilson (Chest injury), Kieran Trippier (Calf injury), Miguel Almirón (Knee injury), Tino Livramento (Ankle injury), Lewis Miley (Back injury), Joelinton (Groin surgery), Sven Botman (Cruciate ligament surgery) and Jamaal Lascelles (Cruciate ligament injury) are names that won’t be on the team sheet.

We are inclined to think that The Magpies might make use of a 4-3-3 formation, choosing Martin Dubravka, Emil Krafth, Fabian Schaer, Daniel Burn, Lewis Hall, Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joseph Willock, Jacob Murphy, Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the view that Newcastle United and Fulham should end up playing out a closely-fought contest here.
