Newcastle United are welcoming Fulham for another important game after their 2-5 result against 13th-placed Leeds United.
- Newcastle United have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Fulham have failed to keep a clean sheet in all their away matches.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Newcastle United form and stats
Newcastle United have collected 9 points from their Premier League home games so far after 3-0-3.
Newcastle United faced defeat in their previous match, away at Leeds United (2-5). Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against West Bromwich Albion.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Newcastle United have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found 15 matches with the results: Won seven, drawn five and lost three.
Newcastle are traveling soon after this match as the Carabao Cup match at Brentford awaits in three days.
Newcastle are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 8 goals in 6 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Newcastle with 12 goals conceded in these matches.
Fulham form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Fulham so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose).
Fulham delivered a 0-0 draw playing at home against Brighton & Hove Albion (placed 16th) in their previous match; a Premier League game. A draw for Fulham before that, at their own venue hosting Liverpool (1-1).
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Fulham playing away and similar expectations, we found six relevant matches. Results were two Fulham wins, two draws and two defeats.
Fulham have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 6 league away games 6 goals have been scored. In the opposite end, Fulham have conceded 10 goals in their away games.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Newcastle, one draw and five wins for Fulham. Over 2,5 goals: five times; under 2,5 goals: five games.Top Goalscorers
