The historical data suggests that the two teams have been evenly matched, and the upcoming match is likely to be a close affair. Both sides have shown they can get results against the other.

The key factors that could determine the outcome are Newcastle's ability to control possession and create clear-cut chances at home, and Fulham's defensive organization and their threat on the counter-attack.
Newcastle have scored 21 goals in 16 matches, showcasing their offensive potential. Their ability to break down the Fulham defense at St James' Park could be a crucial factor.
Fulham, on the other hand, have conceded 26 goals in 16 matches, demonstrating their defensive vulnerability at times. Their ability to frustrate Newcastle and capitalize on set-pieces or counter-attacks may prove to be the difference-maker.

【Expert Prediction】 🟢2-1🔵 (Medium Confidence)
Based on the available information, I predict a 2-1 victory for Newcastle United over Fulham.
While Fulham have the potential to cause problems for Newcastle, the hosts' home advantage and their recent form in the Premier League may ultimately give them the edge. Newcastle's set-piece prowess and clinical finishing could be the difference in a closely contested affair.
I have medium confidence in this prediction, as the match could go either way. Fulham's counter-attacking threat and the unpredictability of a League Cup fixture mean that an upset result is certainly possible.
A 2-1 scoreline would be a fair reflection of the relative strengths of the two teams, with Newcastle United leaving the Light Rain St James' Park with a spot in the semifinals.
