Fulham v Newcastle betting tips: Cottagers say farewell once more

Fulham v Newcastle head-to-head

Newcastle had lost six successive games at Craven Cottage prior to their last visit in 2019 when they ended that barren run in style with a 4-0 win despite the home side having more than twice as much possession!

It was a much closer contest when the teams met at St James’ Park in December as Callum Wilson’s eighth goal of the season handed Newcastle a 1-1 draw they scarcely deserved as 10-man Fulham saw two points slip from their grasp.

Wilson won and converted a 64th-minute penalty which Joachim Andersen conceded and was sent off for his challenge.

Fulham had been deservedly ahead at the break courtesy of Matt Ritchie’s own goal and enjoyed the better of the first hour with Ademola Lookman a constant threat.

Previous XI

Newcastle: Dubravka, Dummett, Krafth, Fernandez, Shelvey, Ritchie, Murphy, Almiron, Willock, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin.

Key battles

Joe Willock is undoubtedly the form player for Newcastle after the on-loan Arsenal midfielder scored the only goal in Wednesday’s 1-0 win over relegated Sheffield United.

Willock became the youngest player to net in six consecutive Premier League appearances aged 21 years and 272 days, breaking Romelu Lukaku’s record by nearly a year.

Willock is 5/2 to extend his hot streak on Sunday and 7/1 to open the scoring against a Fulham defence which has gone nine games without a clean sheet.
