Fulham Vs Newcastle: 17-Game Drawless Run Shapes Premier League Preview
Fulham vs Newcastle heads into another Premier League meeting with the same odd backdrop: Newcastle have never drawn an away league match at Fulham. That run covers 17 league trips to Craven Cottage, and no top-flight fixture between the sides has produced a level score there.
Craven Cottage streak
Fulham have lost six of their last eight Premier League games against Newcastle, but they took both meetings last season after that run had tilted heavily toward the visitors. Newcastle also arrive with a different kind of pattern in London: they are unbeaten in their last seven final league matches played there, a stretch that includes 4-0 and 2-0 wins at Fulham in 2018-19 and 2020-21.
The 17 away games without a draw are the sharpest detail in this fixture. No Premier League matchup has been played more often away from home without ending level, which gives the meeting a more decisive recent history than most league pairings.
Fulham's home return
Fulham’s home form has been one of the league’s clearer markers this season. They have drawn fewer home games than any other Premier League side, and their W10 D2 L6 record at Craven Cottage is their best top-flight home return since 2011-12.
Those 10 home wins are also the club’s highest total in a top-flight campaign since 2011-12, with Fulham last going beyond that figure in 2009-10. Bernd Leno has been part of that consistency, starting each of Fulham’s last 149 Premier League games. Only five previous occasions have seen a player start 150 or more straight Premier League matches, so his run is moving toward a rare mark.
Newcastle's away edge
Newcastle’s season has been less stable on the road. They have won two of their eight Premier League away games in 2026, with those victories coming at Spurs in February and Chelsea in March. That away return leaves little margin when they travel to a ground that has not offered them a draw in 17 league visits.
Their scoring has still come from several sources. Bruno Guimarães has nine Premier League goals, Nick Woltemade has eight, and William Osula has seven, with six of those seven coming in his last eight appearances. For Fulham, Harry Wilson has delivered 10 league goals and six assists, and only four players in club history have posted more Premier League goal involvements in a season.
Fulham’s edge at home and Newcastle’s limited away wins set up a meeting where the usual draw cushion does not exist. One side has made Craven Cottage a points source; the other has treated it like a place where the game usually resolves one way or the other.
