The Magpies made a slow start to the season but have now won four of their last six matches across all competitions, which includes a 3-0 win over Benfica in the Champions League on Tuesday night. Newcastle have now scored at least two goals in four of their last six fixtures, but have failed to keep clean sheets in two of their last three outings in the Premier League. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Eddie Howe's sides' last six matches, so there is a good chance that we will be treated to at least three goals on Saturday.
Fulham head to St James' Park on the back of three straight defeats in the league, their worst run of the season so far. Both teams have scored in three of the visitors' last five outings, and each of those games has produced over 2.5 goals. The Cottagers are yet to win on the road this season and have lost their last three away trips.
Last season, both teams scored and over 2.5 goals were produced in each of the two meetings between Newcastle and Fulham. The Magpies have won six of the duo's last eight encounters in all competitions, and we're backing a home win this weekend as well.
Newcastle 2-1 Fulham
