Newcastle vs Fulham Predictions

• Newcastle have scored twice or more in each of their last eight at home.
• The Magpies have won three of their last six at home by a 2-1 scoreline.
• Fulham have conceded eight goals in their last three fixtures.

Magpies’ home run can continue

Newcastle’s unbeaten run came to an end in the Tyne-Wear derby on Sunday, but the Magpies should recover to continue their defence of the EFL Cup against Fulham on Wednesday.

Eddie Howe’s side have won seven and drawn one of their last eight home games and have scored at least twice in each of these, and their attackers should have plenty of opportunities against a visiting side with some defensive concerns.

The Cottagers won a five-goal thriller at Turf Moor at the weekend and have conceded eight goals in their last three outings, and they were beaten 2-1 at St James’ Park in October.

2-1 has also been the scoreline in three of Newcastle’s last six at home and they have scored exactly twice in all six of these, so backing them to notch a couple alongside another 2-1 scoreline appeals.

Anthony Gordon stands out as a potential goalscorer option after finding the net in three of his last four appearances, taking his tally to seven goals in all competitions this season.
