The Matchday 9 Premier League fixture between Newcastle and Fulham will be held on October 25 at St. James' Park. Newcastle vs. Fulham: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Newcastle
Eddie Howe's side is struggling to climb out of the bottom half of the table. Currently, they are slightly ahead of the relegation zone, having secured only two victories in eight matches, both against struggling opponents: Wolverhampton (1-0) and Nottingham Forest (2-0). In their last league match, they visited Brentford and lost 1-2, marking their seventh consecutive away game without a win.
- The club has not won in 8 of their last 10 Premier League matches (3 draws, 5 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 9 of Newcastle's last 12 league games.
- At home, the team has won 8 of their last 11 Premier League matches (3 losses).
Predicted lineup for Newcastle (4-3-3)
Nick Pope – Kieran Trippier, Malick Thiaw, Sven Botman, Dan Burn – Bruno Guimarães, Sandro Tonali, Joelinton – Anthony Elanga, Anthony Gordon, Nick Woltemade.
Due to injuries, defender Valentino Livramento, midfielder Lewis Hall, and forward Yoan Wissa will miss the game.
Fulham
It's been a while since the Londoners lost three consecutive Premier League matches, but it happened. They first lost 1-3 away to both Aston Villa and Bournemouth, and in their last home game, they couldn't overcome Arsenal (0-1). Interestingly, against the Gunners, Marco Silva's team didn't manage a single shot on target. As a result, Fulham sits just below Newcastle, trailing by only one point.
- The club has won only 2 of their last 10 away league matches (1 draw, 7 losses).
- Both teams scored in 9 of Fulham's last 12 away Premier League games.
- The Londoners have conceded in all of their last 12 away Premier League matches.
Predicted lineup for Fulham (3-4-3)
Bernd Leno – Joachim Andersen, Timothy Castagne, Jorge Cuenca – Joshua King, Ryan Sessegnon, Sander Berge, Tom Cairney – Harry Wilson, Alex Iwobi, Raul Jimenez.
Defender Joachim Andersen and forward Rodrigo Muniz will miss the match due to injuries.

Newcastle vs. Fulham: Match Prediction
Both teams are in poor form and find themselves perilously close to the relegation zone. This is largely due to their poor finishing – both clubs average no more than one goal per match. I anticipate a low-scoring game, with the hosts likely to come out on top.
The key factor will be that Eddie Howe's side is playing at home. In their last 11 home Premier League matches, Newcastle has won 8, suffering only 3 defeats, two of which were against Liverpool and Arsenal. Fulham has earned just one point in their last four away games. Additionally, Newcastle has won 5 of their last 8 home encounters against Fulham in the Premier League (2 draws, 1 loss).
My prediction – Newcastle to win
