TEAMS PREVIEW

Newcastle United Preview

Eddie Howe called it an underwhelming display from his midfield as Newcastle fell 2-1 at the Amex in their last Premier League fixture. After conceding early, the Magpies fought back through Nick Woltemade’s 76th-minute strike, only to see their comeback undone eight minutes later. 

There were no such concerns for Howe in midweek, as Newcastle secured back-to-back Champions League wins for the first time in 22 years, cruising to a 3-0 victory over Benfica thanks to braces from Harvey Barnes and Anthony Gordon. Howe will be looking for the same spark this weekend.

Stats that matter 

1. Following their defeat to Brighton, Newcastle have now gone seven Premier League away games without a win.
2. The Magpies have managed to keep five clean sheets in the league this season, most by any side in the league.
3. Newcastle have scored 1+ goals in all of their last 10 games against Fulham in all competitions. 

Team News 

Newcastle will be missing full-backs Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall. As for Yoane Wissa, despite talk of an early debut, he’s now expected to feature first against Brentford in November. 

Newcastle United  Probable Starting Lineups -  N Pope (GK); Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn (Defenders) ; Joelington, Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes (Midfielders); Anthony Elanga, Nick Woltemade, Gordon (Forwards). 

Fulham FC Preview

An injury-hit Fulham made league leaders Arsenal sweat for a narrow 1-0 victory at Craven Cottage, with the Gunners relying on their favored method—a well-taken corner—to break the deadlock.  The result marked Fulham’s third consecutive league defeat, two of them on the road, highlighting the challenges they’ve faced this season. Still, their previous win at St. James’ Park offers a glimmer of hope as they prepare for Saturday’s crucial clash against Newcastle.

Stats that matter 

1. Only Burnley and Sunderland have had fewer shots (23) on target than Fulham in the league this season.
2. Fulham, alongside Wolves, are the only teams yet to have a player score more than once in the league this season—a striking sign of their struggles in front of goal.
3. Fulham have recorded just one win in their last six away games in all competitions. 

Team News 

Fulham will be without Sasa Lukic and Antonee Robinson, while Joachim Anderson, sidelined with a muscle injury against Arsenal, and Rodrigo Muniz remain doubts for the clash.

Fulham Probable Starting Lineups - Leno (GK); Castagne, Issa Diop, Sessegnon, Bassey  ( Defenders) ; Berge, Tom Cairney, King (Midfielders); Iwobi, Jimenez, Wilson (Forwards). 

NEWCASTLE UNITED vs FULHAM FC
Winning Prediction

Newcastle are strong favorites to beat Fulham despite the latter's recent history of causing an upset. Fulham has only defeated Newcastle four times in 34 meetings, but two of those rare victories came just last season (3-1 and 2-1), offering a spark of hope for Silva's side. 

However, given Newcastle’s strong defense and Fulham's ongoing struggles up front, most betting sites heavily favor a Magpies win at odds of 1.63. A draw is priced at 4.20, with a Fulham victory a distant possibility at 5.69.
