Newcastle United vs Fulham prediction: Match preview, betting odds and tips on December 17, 2025
English Premier League
In the quarterfinals of the English League Cup on December 17, 2025, Newcastle United and Fulham will face each other. The hosts aim to take another step towards defending their title.
Our Prediction for Newcastle United vs Fulham
The club from St. James' Park won this long-awaited trophy in this tournament at the start of the current calendar year. They also managed to clinch fifth place in the Premier League after a tough battle with Aston Villa. This secured their return to the Champions League, where the English side is performing quite well. They drew 2-2 with Bayer in the last round. However, they have had quite a few setbacks in their domestic league. For example, after beating modest Burnley, they somehow lost to their rivals Sunderland.
The London side once again confirmed their status as a mid-table team in the 2024/2025 season. With 54 points, they finished eleventh in the spring. Now, they lose about half of their matches, but so far have managed to stay clear of the relegation zone. Most recently, they managed to beat Burnley.
In the League Cup, Howe's men have already knocked out two clubs, one of which is from London. After a 4-1 win over currently modest Bradford, they scored two unanswered goals against Tottenham. Their opponent has already beaten three teams. While Bristol City and Cambridge were defeated "to nil," Wycombe held them to a draw, and only on the seventh penalty in the shootout did the underdog manage to be eliminated.
