Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Fulham
Newcastle United will be aiming to recover from a 4-1 loss to Tottenham when they take on Fulham in the Premier League round 17. The Magpies have turned their St. James’ Park into a real fortress, with the team eyeing their eighth home win of the process, but they will have to prove their worth on the field. Even through Kieran Trippier is banned for the match, home win should be considered as Newcastle are a real force to be reckoned with at home.
The Cottagers, on the other hand, have been scoring goals for fun of late, with the team rolling both Nottingham Forest (5-0) and West Ham (5-0) at home, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that the visitors are going to return to London with their hands empty. As for the away side, winger Adama Traore should recover in time to face the Magpies, while both Tyrese Francois and Issa Diop remain in the recovery room.

Highlighted Team (Newcastle):
Newcastle United failed to impress in the 2015/2016 Premier League campaign and, as a result, they dropped to the English second tier.
