Fulham v Newcastle United

Premier League, game week 10 — UK time

Step 2 of 4 — Home and away form.

What this step says

+0.70 points a game is the venue form gap, in Fulham's favour: Fulham takes 1.70 a game at home over the last two seasons, Newcastle United 1.00 away.

Skip to the appraisal — and the market

Fulham: 47 league matches in the bank, 9 from this season and the rest from last season. Newcastle United: 47 league matches in the bank, 9 from this season and the rest from last season.

The question this step asks

Step two is HOME AND AWAY FORM -- the home side judged on its home record, the away side on its away record, because those are the records that will be on the pitch. The last five reach back into last season where this season is too young to answer, and say so.

The two sides

Fulham -- at home

Its record at the relevant venue
This season at home: won 1, drew 1, lost 2 of 4, scoring 6 and conceding 7. Last season at home: won 11, drew 2, lost 6 of 19, scoring 30 and conceding 20 -- 1.84 points a game.
Its last five league matches
Newest first: drew with Aston Villa 1-1 away; beat Coventry City 1-0 away; beat Hull City 1-0 at home; lost to Ipswich Town 1-2 away; drew with Manchester United 1-1 at home.
The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 47 matches with one recorded (38, 9 apiece), most recently Álvaro Arbeloa Coca with 9. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.

Newcastle United -- away

Its record at the relevant venue
This season away: won 2, drew 0, lost 2 of 4, scoring 6 and conceding 8. Last season away: won 4, drew 5, lost 10 of 19, scoring 17 and conceding 25 -- 0.89 points a game.
Its last five league matches

The dugout
The banked record belongs to the club, not one man: 2 different managers took its 47 matches with one recorded (38, 9 apiece), most recently Matthias Jaissle with 9. Who picks the team today is not yet recorded this season, so a summer change of manager would not show in these figures.
