Newcastle takes on Fulham this lunchtime (1pm KO), and the Magpies look value at 5/4 to take advantage of a jaded London outfit.
Alan Pardew’s men don’t have a good record in this fixture and the stats say that they will struggle to win, but they will never have a better chance of beating a Fulham side who are already on their 11th game of the campaign.
Martin Jol’s didn’t want to blame tiredness for last weekend’s defeat to Wolves at Molineux, but his players looked fatigued and come into this following a long midweek trip to the Ukraine.
Newcastle will also be buoyed by their 1-0 against arch rivals Sunderland, have lost just one of their last 10 PL matches, and are yet to concede a goal this season.
This game is going to be a real hard fought battle, and the fresher legs of the Newcastle squad may be enough to see the edge a victory.
Therefore 5/4 with get365 and Victor Chandler looks more than fair.
For those who like to play the correct score market, 1-0 looks worth a punt at 7/1 with Stan James.
Recommended bets: 5pts win Newcastle (5/4 bet365, Victor Chandler)
2pts Newcastle to win 1-0 (7/1 Stan James)
