Crystal Palace vs Newcastle: Top Free Betting Tips

Newcastle cannot afford to drop points now especially after United failed to beat this exact opponent. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

Even though Newcastle have risen to the next level, the games between them and Palace continue to be extremely competitive and low-scoring. The four most recent from the past year and a half all ended with less than 2.5 goals. We expect something similar here from a low-scoring team like Palace and the strongest defense in the league, which is Newcastle's.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

Quite a lot of h2h games between Palace and Newcastle over the past few years ended in draws. In fact, there has not been a win with over a goal in years. Since Newcastle are on the road, we expect this to be a close one and it will not be easy for them to win it. It will be interesting but Crystal Palace have the squad to contest and we expect them to at least win a point.

Correct Score Prediction: 1:1 Draw

We pick the 1:1 option just because betting on 0:0 is an extremely difficult thing to do. We definitely expect to see goals in this game, but not more than one per team. There has been a single game with over 2.5 goals between Palace and Newcastle in the last ten head-to-head games, so it is a tradition for this match to be difficult.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle: Form, Recent Games, and News

Crystal Palace Preview

Crystal Palace have really been struggling since the restart of English football after the World Cup. The team has played five games since then in all tournaments and lost four of them, scoring goals in only two out of five. The team is far from being in danger of relegation but unless they score some points, it could become a real threat sooner or later.

Patrick Viera is under pressure to deliver results and will want Wilfried Zaha to give his best. The Ivory Coast international has drawn a blank in seven successive fixtures, which has coincided with the Eagles' poor form. Despite the dip in form, Zaha has scored six goals this season while also laying down two assists in the process.

Newcastle Preview

Everyone new that Newcastle will grow into one of the best teams within a few seasons but nobody expected them to be this good this soon. The team has just a single defeat in 16 games to date and the best defence in the entire league. They almost never concede goals. They were on a streak of seven wins in a row in the Premier League before the last couple of rounds, as well as 16 games unbeaten overall in all tournaments.

The Magpies are thriving under Eddie Howe as they fight for Champions League places. Miguel Almiron has been their knight in shining armour, scoring goals for fun. The Paraguayan has scored 9 goals in Newcastle's cause and is the sixth-highest scorer in the Premier League this season.
