Despite these setbacks, Newcastle has demonstrated resilience in their defense, achieving three clean sheets in their last five matches.

Final Prediction

Newcastle appears to have a distinct advantage going into this match, bolstered by their superior defensive record and better goal-scoring metrics. Their ability to keep clean sheets could be pivotal against a Fulham side struggling to find the back of the net. A key factor to watch will be Newcastle's ability to capitalize on their expected goals and convert chances, potentially leading to a decisive victory over their visitors.
