Fulham vs Newcastle prediction and stats: The Magpies looking to extend their unbeaten start in the capital
Fulham take on Newcastle at Craven Cottage in the Premier League in gameweek five later this month.
Before the international break, Eddie Howe’s side had taken seven points from a possible nine, while Fulham have four on the board after one win, one draw and one defeat.
Three Fulham vs Newcastle Predictions
Newcastle to Win (5/4 with bet365)
Newcastle have dominated Fulham over the last few years and have come out on top in all six most recent meetings across all competitions. Eddie Howe’s side struggled on the road last term, ranking 11th in the league, and we think that should improve this season without Champions League football.
Joelinton to be Carded (Odds TBC)
The Brazilian has been booked in 18 of his last 52 top-flight appearances, including twice in three matches this season. No player has given away more fouls in the league in 2024/25, and another card could be on the menu against Fulham.
Andreas Pereira to be fouled 2+ Times (Odds TBC)
Andreas Pereira often gets in trouble for giving away fouls; however, he is Fulham’s most fouled player across the three games they have played so far. He was fouled on three occasions against Manchester United and three times against Leicester. He won one foul against Ipswich before the international break, and backing the 2+ line against a Newcastle side with plenty of common culprits looks like a nice angle.

How to watch Fulham vs Newcastle
Fulham vs Newcastle is scheduled to take place at 3pm on Saturday 21st September, but will not be broadcast live in the UK.
How both teams go into Fulham vs Newcastle
Fulham have made a positive start to the 2024 campaign, with four points secured. Marco Silva’s men managed a narrow defeat to Manchester United on the opening weekend. They then managed a 2-1 wub over Leicester City, where big-money summer signing Emile Smith Rowe grabbed his first goal for the club, before a point at the road at Ipswich.
29 of Fulham’s 47 points last season came in home matches. However, they will be well aware that their recent record against Newcastle makes for grim reading, with six defeats in their last six.
Newcastle struggled to juggle both the Champions League and Premier League in the first half of last season and may well benefit domestically from not featuring in Europe’s most prestigious club competition this around.
Eddie Howe’s were reduced to ten men less than half an hour into the new season after Fabian Schar was dismissed against Southampton in the 1-0 victory at St James’ Park. They then made the long journey to take on Bournemouth, where they were held to a 1-1 draw on the south coast, while before the international break, they put in their best showing so far with a 2-1 win over Spurs in the Toon.
Fulham Team News
Marco Silva is one of the only current top-flight managers to be blessed with a fully fit squad and no injury concerns at this early stage of the season.
Newcastle Team News
Fabian Schar should return from suspension after his red card against Southampton. Seven Botman, Jamal Lascelles, Lewis Miley and Callum Wilson remain on the treatment table.
Fulham vs Newcastle head-to-head
Newcastle have won all of the last six meetings, including twice last season in the FA Cup and Premier League at Craven Cottage. Fulham last came out on top in 2017 when the pair were playing in the Championship.
