Fulham take on the visitors Newcastle in the round 32 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 6th at Craven Cottage (London).
London's Fulham are a solid mid-table team in the Premier League. The Cottagers play for their own pleasure without pressure, performing to the best of their ability and feeling comfortable in the top half of the table. They are not competing for top positions and are far from the relegation zone in terms of points. In their last ten matches, the team suffered three defeats, but two of them were away from home. However, Fulham performs well at their home ground. The loss to Aston Villa (1-2) is the only one in their last six home matches. In the rest of the games during this stretch, Fulham defeated Arsenal (2-1), Bournemouth (3-1), Brighton (3-0), and Tottenham (3-0), with a draw against Everton.

Looking at the statistics of Eddie Howe's team in the current Premier League season, today's Newcastle are predominantly a home team. At their home ground, St. James' Park, they are capable of defeating anyone. Out of 44 points in the league, 33 were earned at home. In 14 away matches in the Premier League, Newcastle managed to secure only three victories. In their two most recent away games, they lost to Chelsea (2-3) and Arsenal (1-4). Just days before their match against Fulham, they couldn't even defeat Everton at home (a 1-1 draw). It is quite plausible that Newcastle will score against Fulham. Considering all of the above, unfortunately, a win for the visitors seems unlikely.
Looking at the results of their recent head-to-head matches, it may seem tempting to bet on Newcastle avoiding defeat or even winning. However, I disagree with this notion. Past encounters do not affect the outcome of the upcoming duel between the teams. Lately, Newcastle have been struggling in away matches, while Fulham have been performing well at home. Therefore, the first part of my bet is a double chance (1X). I'll also include Over 1.5 goals, which has been successful in 25 out of 31 matches involving the hosts and 25 out of 30 matches involving the visitors. My prediction is 1X + Over 1.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Fulham not to lose (1X) and Over 1.5 scored goals.
