Newcastle United FC at Fulham FC 5/23/21 - Premier League Picks & Predictions

Fulham might have been relegated but they pulled somewhat of an upset last week, and against a good opponent too. They will now return home for their final match of the season, where they will play host to Newcastle on Sunday. Newcastle have been playing free lately and have also produced some upsets.

Fulham (5-19-13) are coming into this match after a solid match on the road against Manchester United. Their opponents took an early lead but Fulham pulled even at the 76th minute for the final 1-1 draw. Despite the draw, Fulham remained win-less for the 9th consecutive match (0-7-2). They have the 2nd worst offense in the league with 27 goals, and the 8th worst defense with 51 conceded. Moreover, Fulham have the worst home record in the league (2-12-4), scoring just 9 and conceding 26 goals in the process.

Newcastle (11-17-9) were really good in their home match against Sheffield United last week, beating them by 1-0. Prior to that they held strong against Manchester City but lost by 4-3. But they have been really good lately, losing just 2 of their last 8 (4-2-2), beating Leicester and West Ham, while pushing draws against Tottenham and Liverpool in that span. Newcastle have a 5-9-4 record on the road, scoring 18 and conceding 29 goals. They have only lost to Brighton in their last 5 away matches (2-1-2).

The two teams played for a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture but I expect a high-scoring match here. There is no reason for the two teams to play defensively in their last match of the season, and the players will have something to prove. Taking the Over 3 Goals here.
