Match Preview
The pressure may be rising slightly on Eddie Howe following a disappointing campaign in the Champions League. Newcastle crashed out of Europe after throwing away a lead against AC Milan on Wednesday, but they will quickly need to turn their attention back to the Premier League this weekend for the visit of Fulham.
Newcastle have lost each of their last two in the league, with their most recent loss coming in the form of a 4-1 defeat against Tottenham last Sunday. However, they boast an excellent record in this fixture after going six without defeat against Fulham. It is also worth mentioning that the Magpies have won 80.8% of their points at home this season in the Premier League.

Fulham have quickly moved clear of the relegation places in the Premier League, as the Cottagers come into the weekend sitting inside the top ten after winning three of their last four. They have scored ten goals across their previous two matches in the top-flight, with their most recent success coming in the form of a 5-0 win at home against West Ham.
The Cottagers have netted 16 goals across their last four matches in the Premier League, which is more goals than they had managed in their previous 15 combined. However, they have a poor record against the Magpies, as they are winless in their last seven on the road against Newcastle since a 1-0 win in May 2009.
Newcastle vs Fulham Prediction
Newcastle’s record in this fixture is challenging to overlook this weekend, and it could be worth siding with the Magpies to land maximum points. However, we could see both teams finding the back of the net in this fixture at St. James’ Park.
