Fulham FC vs. Tottenham Hotspur FC
Match Info
- When: Saturday, March 16, 01:30 PM ET
- Where: Craven Cottage
- Win/Loss Record (Last 5): Fulham L/W/W/L/W – Tottenham W/W/L/W/D
Fulham vs. Tottenham Stats, Odds & Prediction
- Fulham hasn’t won a game against Tottenham since 2013.
- Tottenham defeated Fulham 2-0 in the reverse fixture.
- Tottenham has won 7 of their previous eight trips to Craven Cottage.
Confidence Broken
Following a game-win streak, including wins over Brighton, Manchester United and Aston Villa, respectively, Fulham traveled to Wolverhampton last weekend with high hopes. Unfortunately, Marco Silva’s men failed to capitalize on their growing confidence and surrendered to a 2-1 scoreline at Molineux.
A late bid for Europa Conference football is possible. Still, Fulham will likely finish mid-table this term, and a London derby isn’t the most likely meeting where they’ll own a great probability of collecting more points.
Top Four In Sight
Tottenham Hotspur will make the short trip to Craven Cottage for a London derby this weekend, and a successful outing could see them jump into the top four of the Premier League standings. It’s a notion the Lilywhites will be confident in achieving, as they arrive at Fulham having scored at least one goal in 6 of their last 7 EPL away games.
EPL Matchday 29 Betting Odds & Predictions
Unsurprisingly, the odds have placed the Spurs as the favorable team.
James Maddison and Son Heung-min assisted the West London side to a 2-0 home win against Fulham earlier this term, and a fifth straight win against their capital rivals could be on the cards this weekend.
The only game Tottenham have lost at Craven Cottage in recent years was an EFL Cup encounter that ended on penalties back in August. This weekend's visitors have won 7 of their last 8 meetings at this ground. While the task at hand won’t be simple, the significantly more talented attackers under Ange Postecoglou’s reign should have more to offer than their opponents.
Score Prediction: Fulham 1 – Tottenham 2

Manchester City vs. Newcastle United
Match Info
- When: Saturday, March 16, 01:30 PM ET
- Where: Etihad Stadium
- Win/Loss Record (Last 5): Man City D/W/W/W/W – Newcastle L/W/D/L/D
Man City vs. Newcastle Stats, Odds & Prediction
- Manchester City are undefeated since December 2023.
- Newcastle have lost 2 of their last 3 away games in all competitions.
English Cup Revenge
While it naturally wasn’t a main priority on the list of Pep Guardiola, losing to Newcastle in the EFL Cup back in August will undoubtedly sting the ego of this forceful Manchester City squad. This loss was the first time the Magpies had beaten City since 2019 in all competitions, as back-to-back domestic sweeps for the Citizens proved this loss was a glitch in the system.
The FA Cup will certainly be higher on Pep’s list, and a recent 3-2 win away from home earlier this year should instill confidence that his boys can secure a position in the semi-finals.
1-1 Versus Blackburn Rovers?
The Newcastle rebuild is far from complete, and no matter how much money is being pumped into this club, it hasn’t helped them overcome a mediocre season thus far.
The Magpies enter Saturday’s quarter-final meeting following a tight 1-1 game with Blackburn Rovers. Their struggles against a Championship side sum up their season thus far, and if it wasn’t for their fortunes during a penalty shootout, they wouldn’t have reached this stage of the competition.
FA Cup Betting Odds & Predictions
The odds have placed Man City as a significant betting favorite, and rightfully so. Per usual, City is in fine form; they’ve been unbeaten in all competitions since December and have already collected two domestic wins over their weekend FA Cup opponents.
Guardiola has never lost a home game against Newcastle since his time in the City dugout, and I don’t expect this to change come Saturday. However, cup ties are always intense, and we shouldn’t expect a plethora of goals.
We can boost our price into plus-money regions by adding the under 3.5 goals to Man City’s moneyline.
Score Prediction: Manchester City 2 – Newcastle 0
