Betting on Crystal Palace
The worst possible news for Crystal Palace right now—during their most trying period of the season—is that they will be hosting Newcastle. The Eagles have four defeats in their last five games and are already closer to the relegation places than to European competition with 23 points from 19 games. In each of those last four defeats, Palace failed to score a goal and so it’s little wonder they are one of the lowest scoring clubs in the Premier League, registering just 18 goals.
Playing at home does not seem to be very friendly for the team coached by Patrick Vieira either, since in 10 games played they have only managed to take 14 points. Meanwhile, in the last two games at home, they conceded seven goals and scored none.
Probable lineup (4-2-3-1): Vicente Guaita; Nathaniel Clyne, Chris Richards, Marc Guehi, Tyrick Mitchell; Cheick Doucoure, Will Hughes; Michael Olise, Jordan Ayew, Wilfried Zaha; Jean-Phillippe Mateta.
Betting on Newcastle United F.C.
After making significant investments in their team during the previous transfer window, Newcastle is reaping the rewards: they are among the top teams in the Championship. The Eddie Howe-coached team now holds the final spot for the upcoming Champions League after 19 games and is in fourth place in the rankings with 38 points.
The Magpies haven’t lost for 14 consecutive days and have only lost once after showing the best defense in the championship with only 11 goals conceded. However, they have had trouble to overpower their opponents, as their eight draws are the highest number in the current Premier League along with Brentford. They are the fourth best team away from home with 16 points from four wins, three draws and just two defeats.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock; Miguel Almiron, Callum Wilson, Joelinton.
JefeBet Prediction
Crystal Palace must travel to play Manchester United the next week in addition to hosting Newcastle this one, suggesting that the storm they are trying to weather is not yet over.
These games undoubtedly cause more pressure on a team that little by little has been approaching relegation and that at home has been playing terribly in the last few dates.
For their part, Newcastle arrive inspired and know that they are only one point behind United and Manchester City in third and second place in the standings. They are also nine points behind leaders Arsenal and these are the kind of games they can’t afford to lose.
Prediction: Newcastle to win (CRY 0 – NEW 2).
