Teams Preview
Fulham FC Preview
After beating Aston Villa in late April, Fulham were briefly in the thick of the European race, sitting just two points behind Brighton in sixth and dreaming of a possible Champions League push.
However, three winless games since have ended those hopes, with their most damaging setback coming in a 1-1 draw at already-relegated Wolves.
Despite dominating possession (69%) and registering 13 shots, Fulham lacked cutting edge, relying on an Antonee Robinson penalty to salvage a point.
Their season-long inefficiency has been a key issue, with a conversion rate of just 9.22% — the third lowest in the league.
As a result, the Cottagers will now finish in the lower mid-table, though a win could help them finish in the top ten provided other results go their way.
Stats that matter
1. Fulham have gone without scoring in six of their last nine Premier League games.
2. No side has lost fewer home games than Fulham in the Premier League this season (W10 D2 L6).
3. Fulham have won their final league match in just one of their last eight seasons.
Team News
For the Cottagers, Ryan Sessegnon remains a major doubt for Sunday’s clash after missing the previous game through injury, while Joachim Andersen is ruled out due to suspension.
Fulham Probable XI - Leno (GK); Castagne, Diop, Bassey, Robinson, Lukic, Cairney, Wilson, Smith Rowe, Iwobi, Muniz.
Newcastle United Preview
After dropping points away to Nottingham Forest on Matchday 36, Newcastle United responded in style with a 3-1 victory over West Ham.
William Osula continued his red-hot form with a brace, taking his tally to five goals in his last six league games, while Wolte made made an instant impact after Eddie Howe finally deployed him in his preferred No.10 role, rewarding that trust with his first Premier League goal since December.
The win not only lifted the Magpies two places in the table and within touching distance of the top 10, but also spared Howe from an unwanted record of the club's most home defeats since the 2020-21 campaign.
Yet despite the late surge, Chelsea’s win on the previous matchday ended Newcastle’s fading European hopes — and in hindsight, the 27 points dropped from winning positions proved costly in the end.
Stats that matter
1. Newcastle have kept just a single clean sheet in their last 15 Premier League games.
2. While playing their final league match of the season in London, Newcastle are unbeaten in their last seven games (W6 D1).
3. Newcastle have won just two of their last eight away Premier League games (D2 L4).
Team News
Apart from Lewis Miley, Newcastle have no major injury setbacks aside from the long term absentees. Though it is being reported that Joelinton and Sandro Tonali are also doubts for the trip to London this weekend.
Newcastle United Probable XI - Pope (GK); Hall, Thiaw, Botman, Trippier, Tonali, Guimaraes, Barnes, Woltemade, Ramsey, Osula.
FULHAM FC vs NEWCASTLE UNITED
Winning PredictionNewcastle have enjoyed the upper hand in this matchup this season, already defeating Fulham twice — once in the league and again in the Carabao Cup. While their away form since January has been inconsistent, interestingly, both their wins during the period came in London.
Fulham, meanwhile, have struggled against the Magpies in recent years, losing six of their last eight league meetings, although they did complete a league double last season. With Newcastle also winning four of their last five visits to Craven Cottage and carrying stronger recent momentum, they look well placed to edge this contest.
As far as the odds are concerned, it's mighty close according to the bookmakers. According to one such site, the visitors are backed to win at odds of 2.24, while Fulham’s is at 2.80 and a draw is priced at 3.60.
