Fulham and Newcastle United face off on Saturday in an English Premier League showdown at Craven Cottage. When these two teams faced off last year, it was Newcastle that secured the 2-0 victory.
Fulham comes into this game sitting in 6th place in the standings, having picked up 11 points so far this season. Fulham faced off against Nottingham Forest on September 16th, and they were able to secure the 3-2 victory. Fulham scored three goals between the 54th and 60th minute and that was enough to secure the victory. Antonee Robinson is still dealing with an ankle injury, and he’s going to be able to go in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is Newcastle, who sits in 10th place in the standings having picked up eight points. Newcastle’s last game came against AFC Bournemouth, and they were able to play a 1-1 draw. Newcastle started the scoring in the 67th minute, but the defense gave up a goal in the 82nd minute, and that was the difference as they secured the win. Newcastle finished that game with seven shots on goal and 70 percent of the possession, and it is quite disappointing that they only picked up a point. Alexander Isak is dealing with a muscle injury, and it doesn’t look like he’s going to be able to go in this game.
There is going to be no shortage of scoring here. Each of the last five games that Fulham has played in, in the Premier League, has had five goals scored in it, and I expect there will be very little defense played here. Fulham’s defense has really struggled here, and this game is going to go over the total. Back the over to cash.
