Newcastle vs Fulham Preview & Prediction
Off the back of their heartbreaking exit from the Champions League, Newcastle must turn their attention back to the Premier League. They welcome Fulham to St James’ Park on Saturday.
Newcastle’s defeat to AC Milan on Wednesday meant that they finished bottom of Group F and, as a result, were dropped out of European competition completely.
Things haven’t been going so well in the Premier League either for Eddie Howe’s side. They have lost their last two league games with an aggregate score of 7-1 against Tottenham and Everton.
Their opponents on Saturday, however, are on a free-scoring run. They enter this match off the back of back-to-back 5-0 victories, inexplicably. The Cottagers now lie smack bang in the middle of the table in 10th, five points behind Newcastle in 7th.
However, the away form of Marco Silva’s side is cause for concern, having gone winless in their last seven such fixtures. They’ll be aiming to rectify that against an out-of-form Newcastle side.

Newcastle vs Fulham Betting Tips
- Fulham double chance @ 19/20
- Alex Iwobi 2+ shots @ 23/20
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 9/4
Newcastle vs Fulham Betting Tip 1: Fulham Double Chance @ 19/20
Eddie Howe faces the tough task of rallying his players to lift themselves back up and go again. The absences of Sven Botman and Nick Pope leave them vulnerable at the back, particularly against an in-form attacking side like Fulham.
Priced at 19/20 with UK bookmakers, backing Fulham to win or draw against such a confidence-stricken Newcastle team looks the play.
Newcastle vs Fulham Betting Tip 2: Alex Iwobi 2+ Shots @ 23/20
In his last six starts, Alex Iwobi has taken 17 shots and scored three goals while operating in Silva’s dynamic attacking quartet. These numbers make his odds of over-evens for two or more shots particularly appealing.
Newcastle are conceding too many chances too, allowing an average of 2.31 expected goals per 90 and 17.25 shots per game across their last eight games. A confident Iwobi should be impactful again here, and we wouldn’t put you off backing the former Everton man to find the net at 5/1 with BetMGM.
