Newcastle vs Fulham: Premier League preview and betting tips

Saturday’s programme of the seventeenth round of the English Premier League will offer five matches. One of them will be Newcastle vs Fulham, in which the home team is the favourite. However, due to a large number of players and a packed schedule, it is not going to be an easy job. The match will kick off on Saturday, December 16 at 16:00 and will be televised by Canal+ Sport 5.

Where to watch Newcastle vs Fulham?

Newcastle are once again fighting for participation in the European Cups for next season. They are currently seven points behind fourth placed Manchester City, which is certainly not an insurmountable task. Fulham, with 21 points, are quietly in the middle of the table, well away from the relegation places. Only five points separate today’s two opponents. The match will kick off on Saturday 16 December and will be televised by Canal+ Sport 5.

Newcastle in a results crisis?

Newcastle have lost their last three competitive games, and Wednesday’s loss to AC Milan also meant the end of their European Cup run. Before that, the Magpies failed to beat Everton or Tottenham, which dropped them to seventh in the Premier League table. Apart from the long-term injured, Saturday’s start of Trippier or Gordon is also uncertain.

Fulham’s incredible productivity

Fulham have won their last two league games by 5:0. First, they beat Nottingham Forest at home, after which West Ham joined in. This was preceded by a seven-goal game against Liverpool, which the Reds won 4:3. Thus, the team of coach Marco Silva has been extremely productive in recent weeks. The team from West London came out goalless last time in the clash with Manchester United at the beginning of November.

Betting tip – Fulham to lose

Normally, I would recommend a bet on Newcastle to win. However, the latter is definitely not in an optimal frame of mind, which, on the contrary, cannot be said about Fulham players. It will be interesting to see how England coach Eddie Howe prepares his team. Next week his charges will face the EFL Cup quarter-final against Chelsea in London.
