Newcastle United are all the rage to win this season’s Championship and the Magpies kick off the new season with a trip to Craven Cottage on Friday night.
Rafael Benitez’s side are firm favourites to open with a victory and BetVictor offer a best price 21/20 that the travelling Toon Army return home with three points in their back pocket.
Fulham face a struggle to keep Ross McCormack after interest from Norwich and Aston Villa, although the Cottagers are 11/4 (bet365) to claim victory and Sky Bet offer 5/2 that the Friday night clash ends all square.
Newcastle’s star striker Dwight Gayle is 13/2 (bet365) to score the opening goal, with McCormack a 7/1 chance (Paddy Power) and he’s scheduled to play unless someone meets Fulham’s asking price.
