Fulham vs Newcastle United betting preview
It's hard to work out what sort of season Marco Silva's Fulham are having.
In the last two months, Fulham have put five goals past Nottingham Forest and West Ham and defeated Arsenal 2-1 in their final game of 2023.
On the flip side, they've lost 2-0 at home to Burnley and 3-0 away to both Newcastle and Bournemouth.
In the Carabao Cup, they reached the semi-final and were doing well at Anfield in the 1st leg. At 1-0 up, the Cottagers had great chances to double their lead but were found wanting at those crucial moments.
Marco Silva knows they should have left Liverpool with a better result than the 2-1 defeat they travelled back down the M1 to London with.
The 2nd leg finished 1-1, and Fulham were out. Another missed opportunity that pretty much sums up their inconsistent season.
If they don't beat Newcastle, Premier League survival will be all Fulham have left to play for.
Newcastle are another unpredictable team of late. Their season promised so much. But injuries - combined with a squad stretched to breaking point competing in the Champions League - have seen their campaign take a turn for the worse.
Deepening the sense of gloom around St James’ Park is talk of players having to be sold in the remainder of the January transfer window to avoid falling foul of dreaded FFP rules.
Although he’s been out of form in recent weeks, captain and assist-king extraordinaire Kieran Trippier is one player who has been linked with a move away, with Bayern Munich no less, reported to be looking to pick him up in a cut-price deal.
The next few days could be massive for the Toon Army. An FA Cup defeat, along with big-name departures, could see things take an even bigger turn for the worse on Tyneside.
The match is difficult to call. Newcastle has a performance in them, as they showed in their recent fighting 3-2 defeat at home to Manchester City. Fulham has been good at home in recent weeks. But the midweek Carabao Cup exit to Liverpool will have hurt and drained confidence. So all things considered, Newcastle look like good value to take the Cottagers back to St James’ Park at the very least.
Fulham vs Newcastle United key stats
- Fulham and Newcastle have met on 78 occasions in the past. The head-to-head is close, with Fulham winning 31 and Newcastle 32.
- In their last five matches in all competitions, Fulham have beaten Arsenal 2-1 and lost 1-0 to Chelsea in the Premier League. They only managed a 1-0 win over Rotherham in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup, despite having 67% possession and 21 shots on goal. They also lost 2-1 and drew 1-1 with Liverpool in the Carabao Cup.
- Newcastle have lost their last four Premier League fixtures. Sandwiched between the losses is a Carabao Cup exit to Chelsea and a 3-0 3rd Round FA Cup win over rivals Sunderland.
- Fulham have scored 28 goals in 21 Premier League matches this season. Ten of the goals came in two matches, meaning they have only scored 18 in the other 19 fixtures. Scoring goals has been a huge problem for Marco Silva’s team this season.

Fulham vs Newcastle United best bets
Our best bets for Fulham vs Newcastle United are below. The odds we use are from the best sportsbooks per our expert reviews. Odds in the bettings tips are also subject to change.
Alexander Isak to score anytime (Sky Bet)
With doubts over both the fitness and future of Callum Wilson, Alexander Isak looks a certain starter for Newcastle. Isak has been in good form of late, scoring four in his last four appearances (Premier League and FA Cup).
Overall this season, the Swede has ten in 16 Premier League games. He is 5/6 to score anytime or assist against Fulham, but he has registered zero assists in the Premier League this season, so the better odds of 5/4 on him to score looks like the better value bet.
⚽ Back Alexander Isak to score anytime at 5/4 with Sky Bet ⚽
Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals (bet365)
Both teams to score has a good chance of winning here, as does over 2.5 goals. Fulham has scored in four of their last five matches in all competitions, only drawing a blank in their 1-0 defeat to Chelsea.
Newcastle have found the back of the net in all of their last four matches, including scoring nine in their last three, which includes matches against Liverpool and Manchester City. The Toon Army is also shipping a lot of goals at the moment.
⚽ Back both teams to score and over 2.5 at 21/20 with bet365 ⚽
Bruno Guimaraes to be shown a card (Spreadex)
Both Bruno Guimaraes and Anthony Gordon have been regular offenders when it comes to picking up cautions this season. Guimaraes is the worst offender, having picked up nine yellows from 20 Premier League starts.
Just for good measure, he also picked one up in the FA Cup tie against Sunderland in the previous round. In a match that looks set to be a midfield battle, Guimaraes looks good value to add another yellow to his impressive collection.
⚽ Back Bruno Guimaraes to be shown a card at 19/10 with Spreadex ⚽
