Magpies Unbeaten in Eight Home Matches Against Fulham

The head-to-head record points to a clear advantage for Newcastle, as they have avoided defeat in their last eight home matches against Fulham. Across that period, the Magpies have kept six clean sheets. However, Fulham won the reverse fixture this term, and are chasing a first league double over Newcastle since 2008-09.

Newcastle vs. Fulham Prop Picks

Alexander Isak’s goals could be the difference between Newcastle making the Champions League or not this season. The striker has scored 17 in 21 appearances this term, registering an xG of 14.03 from an average of 3.26 shots per 90.

His clinical nature in front of goal means that he needs no second chance to get his shot away. Against a Fulham side that leaks few goals, Isak could prove to be the difference-maker on Saturday.

Newcastle vs. Fulham Picks

Fulham’s good form has dropped away following defeats in two of their last three. Therefore, Newcastle appear to be the solid chance on Saturday.

Their chances are enhanced after going eight without defeat at St. James’ Park against the Cottagers, and winning five matches against Fulham with home advantage since a shock 1-0 loss in May 2009.
