Newcastle United will host Fulham in Newcastle upon Tyne, Tyne and Wear on matchday 20 of 38 in the Premier League. The venue: St James’ Park. Kick-off: 16:00 GMT.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Newcastle United to win — 1.51
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Combo: Both teams to score + Over 2.5 goals — 2.1
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Total goals: Over 2.5 — 1.72
The Magpies are keen on bouncing back to winning ways in the Premier League following their last two draws against Arsenal and Leeds United. They are the favourites to win and will want to maintain their place in the top-four as well.
Combo: Both teams to score + Over 2.5 goals
Both teams are good goalscoring sides. Fulham beat Chelsea 2-1 on Thursday and whilst the Cottagers are likely to lose this tie, they are likely to get on the scoreboard, as have always done.
This is game is likely to end with over 2.5 goals. Three of Fulham’s last five matches ended with over 2.5 goals. Five out of
last eight games ended with three or more goals, hence expecting this tie to end similarly.
The Magpies dropped four points in their last two matches following two goalless draws against Arsenal and Leeds United. They are currently occupying the 2nd position in the Premier League with 35 points after 18 matches.
The Cottagers moved to the 6th position following a superb 2-1 win over struggling Chelsea at home on Thursday. They have been decent so far, hence their position in the league with 31 points after 19 matches.
Although I believe the Magpies are expected to win this game, I haven’t ruled out Fulham’s chances of getting the win either. Both teams are in decent form, which could mean this game could also end in a draw.
Get Rich Quick
I’d back Newcastle United to beat Fulham but the visitors to get on the scoreboard.
Because both teams are good goalscoring teams, I expect this fixture to produce at least two goals before the last whistle.
Jonjo Shelvey, Matt Targett and Emil Krafth are ruled out.
