Our prediction for the Fulham vs Newcastle United match
Fulham continues under the guidance of Marco Silva. The Portuguese manager confidently brought them up from the Championship and has since comfortably maintained their Premier League status for two consecutive seasons. This included the 2023/2024 season, when even without Mitrović, they amassed 47 points, finishing 13th. Meanwhile, Newcastle finally returned to the Champions League after a long hiatus last season, though they struggled in a difficult group, finishing last. There was also a dip in their domestic form, which led to speculation about Eddie Howe's potential departure. However, Howe managed to finish 7th in the league, with Manchester United’s FA Cup victory preventing them from qualifying for Europe.
Newcastle hasn't spent as much this transfer window as in previous seasons. They signed Osula, while several players, including Ritchie, Fraser, and Jamal Lewis, departed. Fulham, on the other hand, sold Palhinha to Bayern Munich and also lost Ream, Mbabu, Willian, and Kongolo. However, they brought in strong reinforcements such as Smith Rowe, Berge, Cuenca, Godo, Andersen, and Reiss Nelson. Additionally, Ryan Sessegnon returned to the club where he first made his mark.
The "Cottagers" lost to Manchester United after conceding a goal in the 87th minute but followed up with wins over Leicester in the league and Birmingham in the League Cup. However, they could only manage a draw against Ipswich, a newly promoted side. September also saw a 1-1 draw with West Ham, and a repeat of that scoreline occurred against Preston in the League Cup, where Fulham was eliminated on penalties. Newcastle, on the other hand, advanced in the League Cup after beating Nottingham Forest on penalties. In the Premier League, they dropped points only against Bournemouth in a 1-1 away draw, while securing home wins against Southampton and Tottenham. In the last round, they earned a 2-1 away victory over Wolverhampton.
