London, Craven Cottage

Fulham host Newcastle United on the final day of the Premier League season, with just two points separating these mid-table sides at Craven Cottage.

The Cottagers have been strong on home soil this term, recording 10 of their 14 league wins at this ground, but arrive winless in their last three outings.

Newcastle head to west London having taken seven points from their last three fixtures, buoyed by a morale-boosting victory over West Ham.

The Magpies hold a commanding record in this fixture, having won eight of the last 10 meetings between these sides in all competitions.

Fulham vs Newcastle United Talking Points

Both clubs sit level on 49 points heading into the final day, turning this into a direct shootout for a potentially higher league finish. Anthony Gordon's possible farewell adds genuine intrigue for the visitors, while off-field speculation about the future at Craven Cottage lends an uncertain backdrop to the home side's preparations.

Fulham vs Newcastle United Form

Fulham's season has fizzled out badly. They have won just one of their last six Premier League matches and only four times since January. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in five of their last six league outings, suggesting a team low on confidence and attacking spark. Harry Wilson has been a rare bright spot, attempting two or more shots in eight of his last 10 appearances.

Newcastle have been inconsistent but carry more attacking threat. William Osula scored twice against West Ham and leads the line with real purpose, while Harvey Barnes has scored or assisted in three consecutive league games. Anthony Gordon has netted in three of Newcastle's last four Premier League outings. Their away form remains a weakness, though, with only four wins from 18 away fixtures this season.

Fulham vs Newcastle United Prediction & Best Bets

Our prediction: Newcastle United look the stronger side coming into this fixture. Fulham's woeful run of form offers little to build on, and the Magpies' head-to-head dominance is hard to ignore. We fancy a 2-1 away win.

Best Bets

Both Teams To Score, Yes at 8/15 with Paddy Power. Both sides have managed only eight clean sheets all season and this fixture has produced over 2.5 goals in four straight meetings. Goals at both ends look a reasonable expectation given how open both defences have been across the campaign.

William Osula Anytime Goalscorer at 9/5 with Paddy Power. Osula has contributed a goal or assist in four of Newcastle's last six league outings and has attempted three or more shots in each of his last three Premier League appearances. His relentless pressing and physical threat up front make him one to watch at Craven Cottage.

Fulham vs Newcastle United Bet Builder

Our four-leg bet builder combines a Newcastle win, both teams to score, William Osula anytime goalscorer and over 2.5 goals for the season finale at Craven Cottage.

Newcastle are priced at 11/8 to take all three points. Their away record has been unconvincing this term, but recent form and a favourable head-to-head across the season support the selection.

Both teams to score at 8/15 reflects the defensive frailty on show from both sides throughout the campaign. Neither has been reliable at the back and goals are expected at both ends.

William Osula anytime goalscorer at 9/5 is our third leg. The Newcastle striker has attempted three or more shots in each of his last three Premier League outings and his energetic, physical style makes him a constant handful for any backline.

Over 2.5 goals completes the combination. This fixture has produced over 2.5 goals in four consecutive meetings and both defences have been porous throughout the season.

At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 13/1 and is as short as 8/1 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of £50 from best to worst price.
