Newcastle vs Crystal Palace Prediction

Newcastle’s four-game winning run across competitions came to an end two weeks ago in a 2-2 stalemate away at West Ham United.

The Magpies will have a great chance to return to winning ways on Saturday afternoon in the home fixture against the out-of-form and the injury-crippled Crystal Palace.

The hosts enter the tie as massive favorites, especially after the recent performances at St. James’ Park.

Eddie Howe’s men have won four on the spin in front of the home crowd, conceding just one goal in the process, courtesy of a 4-1 drubbing of PSG in the second round of the UEFA Champions League group stage.

We all know how tough the Magpies are to break down and we particularly fancy them to keep things quiet at the back in this matchup.

Crystal Palace have only scored seven goals in the opening eight games of the season. They play ultra defensive football under Roy Hodgson.

That said, the Eagles are just one point shy of Newcastle in the league standings, having lost only two games since the beginning of the season.

Palace kept three consecutive clean sheets going into this tie. The run includes a 1-0 win over Manchester United at the Old Trafford in their previous away fixture.

The good news for the fans is that Odsonne Edouard was passed fit for the last round’s game against Nottingham Forest (a goalless draw) but the team’s main two creators Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise are both still sidelined through injuries.

Latest Meetings

We did not see a single goal in the last three clashes between Newcastle and Crystal Palace.

Newcastle have 10 wins, 4 draws, and only 4 defeats in the previous 18 home meetings with the Glaziers.

None of the last five outings between these counterparts saw three or more goals scored.

The Verdict

Newcastle to win to nil is the standout betting pick here and you can back it at the 2.25 odds. The visitors notched just seven goals in eight league games while the Magpies allowed only one goal in the last four home outings in all competitions.

We expect the hosts to be in full control from the first to the final whistle which is why the alternative bet would be Newcastle to win by two or more goals difference at the 2.20 odds.
