Fulham vs Newcastle United prediction and betting tips on April 6, 2024
One of the fixtures of the 32nd round of the English Premier League will take place in London on Saturday, where local Fulham will host Newcastle United at Craven Cottage. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Fulham
The Cottagers have practically settled all matters for the current season and may simply be playing out the remaining matches. Currently, with 39 points, Fulham occupies the 13th position, with a comfortable 17-point cushion separating them from the relegation zone. It's hard to imagine Fulham squandering such an advantage in the remaining six matches of this Premier League campaign. In the last round, Fulham played an away match against Nottingham Forest and lost 1-3. This was their second defeat in the last five matches, with an equal number of victories.
Newcastle United
The Magpies pleasantly surprised in the previous season when they secured qualification for the Champions League. However, Newcastle couldn't juggle multiple fronts at once and stumbled at the start of the current championship. Essentially, the team's results improved only after their exit from European competitions, but there's no chance now to make up for lost ground and compete for European qualification. Currently, Newcastle has 44 points, which is 13 points fewer than Tottenham, who occupy the 5th place. In the last round, the Magpies hosted Everton and played to a 1-1 draw. Overall, in the last four rounds, Newcastle has secured two victories, suffered one defeat, and played one draw.
