Crystal Palace v Newcastle

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Preview

Crystal Palace gained a point in a creditable 2-2 draw away from home at Aston Villa last weekend but despite that encouraging point, The Eagles still remain in the bottom three of the Premier League table.

Newcastle United failed in their bid to make it three wins on the trot in the Premier League as The Magpies were dealt a highly disappointing 2-0 defeat at home by bottom half outfit West Ham, while recent results overall have been rather poor for Eddie Howe's side.

Crystal Palace have had to endure a tough but ultimately disappointing campaign this season in the Premier League as the London club have managed to capture just one win out of their 12 league matches played to date, which came by way of a narrow 1-0 home win against London rivals, Tottenham.

However, Palace have yet to rekindle the sort of form which brought about an excellent finish to last season's campaign which handed The Eagles a season defining seven-game unbeaten run which consisted of picking up no fewer than six wins within this period.

The hosts have registered just one win in their opening six home games, losing three of these games while five of these six home games have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Newcastle United continue to struggle to produce a consistent sequence of results in the English top flight as the north-east club slumped to a fourth loss in their last eight games overall following a 2-0 loss at home to West Ham

Recent wins picked up against the likes of Arsenal and Nottingham Forest have been outweighed by being dealt four defeats as well, which saw the visitors finish second best against Fulham, Brighton, Chelsea and West Ham respectively.

However, it's not all doom and gloom as Newcastle United have suffered just five defeats within their previous 17 games overall in the Premier League and having also collected eight wins within this period as well, The Magpies perhaps look the more likely to find a way to pick up the all-important three points here on Saturday afternoon.

In addition, Newcastle United have registered four wins from their previous nine outings on the road in the English top flight and this sort of form may just be enough to hand Eddie Howe's side a valuable three-point haul in the nation's capital.

Crystal Palace v Newcastle United Verdict

Newcastle United have also won three out of the previous six meetings against their upcoming hosts, Crystal Palace, which should give the visitors an edge ahead of this upcoming encounter at Selhurst Park in what also looks like being a low-scoring affair, especially as six of the last seven meetings have also resulted in Under 2.5 goals.

Therefore, our main bet will be Newcastle United win @ 2.30

Other side bets worth considering:

Newcastle Utd win & Under 2.5 goals @ 5.50

Correct Score: Newcastle Utd 1-0 @ 10.00
