Backing Newcastle for the Win
Newcastle, currently in fifth place, are hungry for a win to break into the top four. They are level on points with Manchester City but lag behind on goal difference.
The Magpies have been consistently strong, securing five victories in their last six matches across all competitions. The only setback they faced was a 4-1 loss to Bournemouth.
Fulham, on the other hand, have had a season filled with resilience, placing tenth in the league.
They will also put up a fight in this match, but ultimately, Newcastle’s home ground might give them the edge to secure the victory.
Bet on Newcastle to Win 2-1
With Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak in their ranks, Newcastle boasts two of the Premier League’s top offensive players. These two are likely to give the Cottagers significant trouble throughout the match.
One of the issues Newcastle has faced this season is conceding preventable goals. This flaw was a contributing factor to their inability to seriously contend for a top-four finish last season, even after securing a Champions League spot two seasons ago.
This defensive vulnerability remains a major hurdle in their quest to compete for the league title.
It’s quite possible that Fulham could score from a counterattack in this game, potentially through a player like Adama Traore.
Bet on Alexander Isak to Score
Newcastle might struggle to retain Isak beyond this season. Having netted 17 goals in the Premier League this season, he has cemented his status as a top-tier forward in both the Premier League and Europe.
The Swedish striker is expected to be a constant threat to Fulham’s defence and should manage to score at least once.
