🔻 Stake: 4/10

At the end of the 2019/20 season, Newcastle and Crystal Palace were already close to each other in 13th and 14th place in the final table. The two teams are currently only separated by four points. The Magpies go 15th in the 22nd day of the Premier League. The Glaziers, on the other hand, are in 13th position. In the direct duel between the two clubs, the main aim is to keep the relegation zone at a distance.

In the run-up to the clash between Newcastle and Crystal Palace, the odds of the bookmakers slightly deflect in the direction of the guests, as the odds comparison of the betting base shows.

However, it is not easy to bet on the Glaziers, who is slightly better positioned in the table. After all, the London club already lost the first leg against the Magpies at home 2-0 and only got four points from the last four league games, which do not exactly indicate the greatest momentum.

Meanwhile, Newcastle started with a 2-0 away win at Everton on Saturday and ended a losing streak of nine consecutive league games without a win. Accordingly, it is difficult to find a tip on the outcome of the game at Newcastle against Crystal Palace. We, therefore, opt for the expedient alternative of betting on a match with a low goal score with a maximum of two goals.

Newcastle – Statistics & Current Form

There are four English championships at Newcastle United, with the last title to date being 100 years old in just a few years. The last time the Magpies were allowed to celebrate winning the title in 1927.

In the current millennium, there are already two relegations to the championship, from which the traditional club has always been able to break free as a second division champion in the first year. The team from the north-east of England has been playing first-class again since summer 2016.

After nine games without a win, a threesome again

The cutting off of the magpies is quite impressive. Since the last promotion, Newcastle has always landed between tenth and 13th place in the final table and either had nothing to do with the relegation or brought relegation to the table early on.

This is exactly what should succeed this season in the second year of office under Benitez’s successor Steve Bruce, for which the team still has to improve. After the most recent dry spell of nine league games without a win, which ended with a 2-0 win at Everton FC last weekend, he is currently the only 15th.

Lost only three of the last 20 duels with Crystal Palace

However, it is positive that the distance to a direct relegation zone is a comfortable eight points. In a tight table, in which many teams still have several games to catch up, it is still not possible to rest on the lead. Accordingly, the Londoners should of course be given more support.

The balance sheet gives courage that Newcastle’s tip on a point win for the Magpies will work against Crystal Palace. Of the last 20 meetings with the Glaziers, Newcastle have only lost three games – including just one game in their home country St. James ’Park …

The probable lineup of Newcastle:
➤ Darlow – Lewis – Schär – Lascelles – Manquillo – Shelvey – Hayden – Hendrick – Almirón – Fraser – Wilson

Crystal Palace – Statistics & Current Form

Crystal Palace played a solid first half of the season, but there were some curious results. On the one hand, the Glaziers shocked Manchester United early in the season with a 3-1 away win at Old Trafford. On the other hand, there was a cracking 7-0 home defeat against Liverpool FC in December.

Overall, there is a lot of quality in Roy Hodgson’s squad, who was reinforced this winter with the former Mainz-based Jean-Philippe Mateta. Time and again, however, the consistency was missing to translate this quality into the corresponding points.

Without a win, the Londoners are in danger of losing touch

Nevertheless, the interim conclusion is overall solid. The Eagles occupy 13th place in the current Premier League table and thus keep up with teams like Arsenal, Southampton and Leeds. Nevertheless, for example, fifth place, which would certainly go into the Europa League, is already nine points missing.

If the London club, which reached the FA Cup final in 1990 and 2016, wants to attack again at the top, it inevitably has to reliably score against the competition from the lower half of the table. The Glaziers already lost the first leg against Newcastle at home with 0-2.

Fourth most goals conceded in away games

Above all, the appearances in unfamiliar places have to improve. Roy Hodgson’s side scored only eleven points from ten away games and already conceded 18 goals in the distance. The Eagles are the fourth weakest away defense in the Premier League.

Nevertheless, they travel to the English northeast with a little tailwind. Two of the last five league games were won to zero – including the successful dress rehearsal against Wolverhampton on Saturday (1-0).

The probable lineup of Crystal Palace:
➤ Guaita – van Aanholt – Then – Kouyaté – Clyne – Milivojevic – McCarthy – Zaha – Eze – Ayew – Batshuayi

Newcastle vs Crystal Palace Betting Odds and Predictions

At Newcastle against Crystal Palace, our prediction is shaped by the current momentum of both teams. The “head to head” comparison clearly points to the hosts. The Glaziers are better in the table and won at least two of their last five league games, while the Magpies have lost five of their last six league games.

Key facts – Newcastle vs Crystal Palace tips

🔺 Newcastle have only lost three of their last 20 duels with Crystal Palace
🔺 Crystal Palace had to accept the fourth most away goals against in the Premier League
🔺 Newcastle won for the first time at the weekend after nine straight league games without a win

However, the dress rehearsal for both teams was successful, which is why the three-way system is difficult to predict.

After all, there have been no more hits in any of the last eight clashes between the two clubs.
