Fulham vs Newcastle United: Team News and Expert Analysis
The London club continues to maintain its status as a solid mid-table team in the Premier League. Last season, with 54 points, they finished in eleventh place. This year, they're performing at a similar level, hovering around the "equator" of the table – there were chances to fight for European spots, but in the spring they started losing too often. Even against Wolverhampton, they only managed a draw.
The team from Newcastle won the League Cup last season and finished fifth in the Premier League. That was enough to qualify for the Champions League again, where this time the English side reached the playoffs before being knocked out by Barcelona. However, their league form has noticeably dipped, especially in the spring. Even after a win over West Ham, they are only sitting in eleventh place.
The capital’s players average 1.22 goals scored per match and 1.38 conceded. Howe’s team is slightly more entertaining: they score and concede an average of 1.43 goals per game.
