Fulham vs Newcastle United prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - September 21, 2024
One of the fixtures in the fifth round of the Premier League will take place on Saturday at Craven Cottage, where Fulham will face Newcastle United. Here is the prediction from the expert team at Dailysports.
Fulham
The "Cottagers" have traditionally started the season strong, but tend to lose momentum once their safety in the league is secured. We might see a similar trend this season. In their first four matches, Fulham has only suffered one defeat, which occurred in their opening game.
They lost 0-1 at Old Trafford, conceding the only goal in the 87th minute. In the following matches, Fulham defeated Leicester 2-1 at home, drew 1-1 with Ipswich, and also 1-1 with West Ham. Additionally, Fulham progressed in the League Cup by beating Birmingham 2-0 but lost to Preston in a penalty shootout.
Newcastle United
Last season, "The Magpies" returned to the Champions League for the first time in many years but exited the group stage due to a lack of stamina, which cost them crucial points. This season, the lack of European competition seems to be benefiting them.
Newcastle started the new season very well. Out of their first four games, they only drew once, a 1-1 away match against Bournemouth. They have beaten Southampton 1-0, Tottenham 2-1, and Wolverhampton 2-1. Additionally, Newcastle won on penalties against Nottingham Forest in the League Cup.
