Fulham vs Newcastle prediction for Saturday: form, team news, Iwobi and Bassey, plus our betting angles and a 2-1 lean. Full breakdown inside.
Our Fulham vs Newcastle prediction is a 2-1 home win at Craven Cottage on Saturday, 7 November 2026, with kick-off at 4:00 pm WAT. Two Super Eagles could start for the hosts: Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey. Fulham are unbeaten in three but sit 15th, while Newcastle have lost four of their last five and are short in midfield. This is a lean, not a certainty.
Fulham vs Newcastle kicks off at 3:00 pm GMT on Saturday, 7 November 2026, which is 4:00 pm in Nigeria (WAT), at Craven Cottage in London. It is Premier League Gameweek 10, and the full list is on the Premier League fixture list. We have not confirmed a Nigerian TV partner.
Fulham were winless in their first six league games but have since gone unbeaten in three. They beat Hull City 1-0, won 1-0 at Coventry and drew 1-1 at Aston Villa last time out, which leaves them 15th on 9 points, two above the relegation zone, according to match previews. Read our Aston Villa vs Fulham prediction for how that game was set up.
Newcastle are 13th on 11 points, only four above the bottom three. They lost 1-0 at home to Everton last time out, their fourth defeat in five league games, having also lost 4-1 at Coventry and 4-1 at Leeds in that run. The one bright spot was a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace. Fulham won the last meeting 2-0 at home in May, and have won three of the last four Premier League games between the sides.

Newcastle have the bigger problems. These lists come from pre-match reports, so the confirmed line-ups about an hour before kick-off will settle it.
With Joelinton and Ramsey both missing, Newcastle’s midfield is stretched, which should help a Fulham side that has been hard to break down at home.
Both are expected to be involved. Pre-match previews place Bassey at centre-back and Iwobi in the attacking line behind the striker, and neither has an injury reported. Fulham’s expected shape also has Antonee Robinson at left-back. For more on him, see our Alex Iwobi profile, and the wider Nigerian options are on our Super Eagles squad page.
We lean towards a 2-1 Fulham win. The hosts are at home, have the better recent head-to-head and face a depleted midfield, while Newcastle’s away form and recent results are poor. Fulham have still been short of goals, though, so a draw is a real possibility.
