Cottagers boss Marco Silva was thoroughly unimpressed by his side’s first-half performance in their 3-1 defeat at Nottingham Forest last time out, making a triple substitution after just 33 minutes.
Fulham have not found too much joy on the road this season - picking up just 11 points away from Craven Cottage - but a reaction will be expected when they play in front of their own fans this weekend given that they have the seventh-best home record in the division.
Newcastle, meanwhile, gave away a late penalty in their 1-1 home draw with relegation-threatened Everton on Tuesday and currently lie outside the European places by a single point.
Eddie Howe’s squad continues to be hampered by injuries and, after conceding at least twice in four of their last five league games, the Magpies could be run ragged at Fulham this weekend.
Fulham vs Newcastle Tips
Home advantage could be key for the Cottagers in claiming victory over Newcastle at the third time of asking this season, having been beaten by an aggregate scoreline of 5-0 in the reverse league fixture and in the FA Cup.
A run of three wins from their last four at Craven Cottage will put Marco Silva’s men in good stead going into this encounter and the manner of these victories will have put the Magpies on high alert - with the Cottagers scoring exactly three goals in each.
Newcastle have picked up just 11 points on the road all season and, despite being involved in goal-heavy encounters on their recent travels, Eddie Howe’s men have found it difficult to end up on the right side of the result, losing seven of their last nine Premier League away games.
Each of their last five on the road have seen both teams score and an extension to this streak could be on the cards at Craven Cottage in a defeat for the Magpies.
