Newcastle vs Fulham Premier League Expert Betting Picks
Given how hard it is to win any game in the Premier League, these are two wins that should make the rest sit up but they were both at home so Fulham is a heavy underdog in soccer betting odds.
Fulham head coach Marco Silva is still without former Wolves man Adama Traore, who is nursing a hamstring injury. Issa Diop is also expected to miss the trip to St James’ Park due to a foot injury while Tyrese Francois is a doubt due to a knock.
Fulham Struggling on the Road
Fulham boasts a win and five goals in each of their last two games, but both games were on home soil. Marco Silva’s men are winless away from home in the league since the win over Everton on matchday one.
Newcastle hasn’t trailed at halftime in a home Premier League fixture this term. The hosts are one of the best home teams in the league with seven wins and just one defeat this term and they scored 19 goals in the process. Consider that in your soccer betting picks.

Newcastle vs Fulham Soccer Betting Lines
Newcastle vs Fulham Betting Picks for December 16
The hosts enter this clash as favorites being priced at -120 on the three-way moneyline according to the latest soccer odds while the goal line is set at three.
Newcastle has had all sorts of problems in recent games, but at St James’ Park they are a different team. Howe’s men have lost just one of their eight league home games this season, winning eight, and that defeat came against high-flying Liverpool.
In-form Fulham arrives at St James’ Park looking to end that run after winning consecutive top-flight games 5-0 for the first time. We expect a high-scoring affair with both teams determined to contribute on the scoresheet.
Questions Of The Day
Are there chances of a Draw?
The way Fulham is playing and the confidence they must take going into this must surely give them a real chance against a Newcastle side who are still injury depleted and had that midweek Champions League humbling but there’s a good chance for a draw with goals.
How many Yellow Cards will be in the match?
This should be an entertaining game and with so many important names missing for Newcastle it could get ugly. The line is set at 4½ with the over being priced at +100 so the value is definitely on the over.
