Newcastle United’s form is on an upswing. After months of inconsistent play, the Magpies are starting to put some points together.
Will the Forebet algorithm predict another match without a defeat for Newcastle when they play Fulham?
Eddie Howe’s team is eighth in the Premier League standings with eight games to play. A top-six finish is still possible but Newcastle must take points in each of their final eight games to have a chance of qualifying for Europe for next season.

The Magpies picked up four points from the last six points on offer in the league. A 4-3 come-from-behind win over West Ham was followed by a 1-1 draw with Everton.
Fulham are winless in their last two games in the league. A 3-3 draw against Sheffield United was followed by a 3-1 loss away to Nottingham Forest.
Manager Marco Silva will be desperate for the team to pick up any points possible and inch away from the relegation zone. Fulham are just seven points above 18th-place Luton Town.
Newcastle are on a five-game winning streak against Fulham in all competitions. The Magpies are on a winning trend, with no goals conceded against Fulham in each of their last three encounters.
These clubs met twice earlier this season in league and cup fixtures. Newcastle won 3-0 at St. James’ Park in the league and 2-0 at Craven Cottage in the FA Cup.
Red cards were handed out in three of the last six meetings in all competitions between Newcastle and Fulham. In each instance, a Fulham player received the red card.
Silva will hope playing at Craven Cottage makes a difference this weekend. Fulham have a record of 9W-1D-5L at home and a goal difference of +14.
They won their last two matches at home by a combined score of 6-0 against Brighton and Tottenham.
Newcastle have won just three times on the road in 2023-24 in the league. They have an away record of 3W-2D-9L and goal difference -7. The Magpies lost their last two matches on the road.
Alexander Isak leads Newcastle in goal scoring stats this season with 15 Premier League goals. He has accounted for 23% of Newcastle’s goal scoring.
Isak is in fantastic form. He scored at least one goal in each of his last four Premier League games. Can Isak help end Newcastle’s poor form away from home?
