Fulham take on the visitors Newcastle in the round 9 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 1st at Craven Cottage (London).
Fulham are well prepared for the Premier League this time around. The "Cottagers" in recent years fully consistent with the unspoken title of "football lift". They rose from the Championship to the “elite” several times, but constantly rolled back after a year. So it was in 2021 (fall), and in 2022 (steady rise). But it seems that now, under Marco Silva, they manage to declare his intentions to finally gain a foothold here. Already in the starting round, the newcomer took points from Liverpool, playing with him 2-2. And then, adding 0-0 with Wolverhampton, they were able to win 3 of the next 5 rounds. This is clearly more than was predicted in the offseason for Mitrovic and company.

Newcastle opted for pinpoint reinforcement in the summer. The Magpies became the object of a high-profile deal a year ago. Hated by everyone at St. James Park, Mike Ashley was still able to sell a popular project to a fund from Saudi Arabia. And only the possibilities of new investors, who invited Eddie Howe to the coaching post and bought a lot of newcomers in the winter, did not allow them to fly to the Championship. In the summer, few players were acquired in quantitative terms, but with an eye to strengthening the line-up, from Pope to the record-breaking Isac. But the results so far are not particularly impressive. After a good start, with an honorable draw with Manchester City, "black and white" cannot win four times in a row. True, they took draws with Wolverhampton, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth, and lost to the only motivated Liverpool at Anfield. And then the “Reds” pulled out a strong-willed victory due to a goal from a newcomer, Carvajal, who made the score 2-1 in their favor in the 8th minute added to the match.
Both of Fulham's recent rises to the English Premier League ended in the same way in head-to-head meetings, with Newcastle taking a draw and a win in each championship. Fulham have already shown that they will aim in every game, at least at home, to a win. But Newcastle is good too. So it's worth stopping at the offer in the form of "both clubs to score".
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
