Newcastle United vs Fulham

Newcastle United and Fulham are eyeing a place in the last four as they square off in the quarter-finals of the EFL Cup.

Both teams have had a few stumbles lately, but the Magpies will be counting on a solid home record in this fixture. They should get the better of the visitors, who are a bit unconvincing on their travels.

Newcastle United News

Goals from Fabian Schar and Nick Woltemade earned Newcastle United a 2-0 home victory over Tottenham Hotspur in the previous round. However, they will come into this clash looking slightly off col,our having failed to win three of their last four matches, losing 2-1 at Sunderland last weekend.

The good news for Newcastle United is that Wednesday's clash is at St James' Park, which has been a fortress all season. Eddie Howe’s team are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 matches, earning eight wins on this run.

Newcastle United often look sharp going forward and have scored in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches, with eight of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals.

Fulham News

Fulham needed penalties before seeing off Wycombe in the quarter-finals. Marco Silva's team came from behind to play out a 1-1 draw in normal time before coming out on top.

The Cottagers head into this clash off the back of a 3-2 Premier League victory at Burnley last weekend, a result that ended a run of two defeats. They have also been unconvincing on their travels, failing to win seven of their last nine matches and suffering five defeats on this run.

Fulham have quality going forward but are often shaky at the back, a trait that has seen them score and concede in their last four matches. All five fixtures on this run have also produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Newcastle United have eight wins and two draws, while Fulham have been victorious just twice in the last 12 matches. The Magpies have already beaten their rivals this season, claiming a 2-1 home victory back in October.

Verdict

Newcastle v Fulham

Newcastle United often do their best work at St James' Park and claimed a home victory over Fulham back in October. They should come out on top once again, with the visitors unconvincing on their travels.

Neither defence has looked solid lately, and with both teams scoring in their last three meetings, a repeat could be considered here. With all three matches also producing over 2.5 goals, Wednesday's clash should produce a similar outcome.
