Newcastle

Newcastle has suffered defeats in their last two Premier League matches. Interestingly, both encounters resulted in heavy losses for Eddie Howe's side. Firstly, the Magpies lost 3-0 away to Everton, followed by a 4-1 defeat against Tottenham in London. These losses have pushed Newcastle seven points away from the Champions League zone. After 16 rounds, the team sits in seventh place with 26 points. Additionally, Newcastle faced a loss at home against AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League earlier this week, leading to their exit from European competition.

Fulham

Fulham is having a vibrant season but hasn't necessarily pleased their fans with consistent results. The Cottagers secured victories in their last two matches, beating West Ham and Nottingham Forest with identical 5-0 scorelines. However, they currently sit in the tenth position in the Premier League table. In the previous 16 matches, the London-based team has collected 21 points and maintains an equal balance of goals scored and conceded.

Interesting Match Facts and History of Personal Meetings

• Newcastle is on a three-match losing streak.
• In the last four matches, Fulham has scored 16 goals. It's intriguing that in the preceding 12 games, they netted only 10 times.
• Fulham hasn't defeated Newcastle in the Premier League since 2014.

Prediction

The Magpies are in dire need of halting their recent poor form, especially against a relatively weaker opponent arriving at St. James' Park. My bet is on a Newcastle victory.
