Newcastle v Crystal Palace Betting Preview
Crystal Palace moved through to the FA Cup final last weekend, but they are only eight points clear of relegation in the top flight and both Sunderland and Norwich behind them have games in hand. So they haven’t quite done enough to be safe and with just one win in their last eighteen Premier League games, if they lose this one, they will still be sweating. Newcastle have avoided defeat in their last three Premier League games but still have a lot of work to do to haul themselves to safety. Big, big home game for the Magpies in their fight for survival.

Newcastle v Crystal Palace Betting Tips
The Magpies have shown some signs of life and having the belly for some fight. They have managed to take away five points from their last five games in the top flight, which is a significant upturn in form from them. That was one more point than they managed to take from their ten games prior to that in the league. They are nowhere clear of danger though. They are one point away from safety, but Norwich and Sunderland above them both have a game in hand still which may count for something down the line. All that Newcastle can do is a bust a gut in their remaining three matches. It has been a W1 D2 record in their last three league games now and there were very good points in drawn games against Man City and Liverpool in there. If they can build on that with three points against Palace, things will start looking much brighter for them. Newcastle have W3 D3 L1 record in their last seven on home soil in the Premier League.
There has been just one clean sheet in their last ten Premier League games for Newcastle though, so are defensively flimsy. Not since November 2014 have they gone four match unbeaten in the top flight. The Magpies went down against the Eagles heavily at Selhurst Park earlier in the season, losing 5-1 in a rout. But that was their first defeat against Palace in all competitions since 1998 so overall have strong head to head form. Since that 1998 defeat, Newcastle had posted a W8 D3 record against Palace before they met earlier in the season. Papiss Cisse has scored a goal in each of his three of his previous league matches against the Eagles and is a price of 11/8 alongside Aleksandar Mitrovic in the anytime goalscorer market. Under 2.5 goals at a price of 4/5 with bookmaker Boylesports is likely to have big appeal.
Palace may be the final of the FA Cup this season but they still aren’t totally clear of relegation issues in the top flight. It’s unlikely that they will drop, they just aren’t mathematically safe. Palace have won six games in 2016 and five of those six came in the FA Cup, so they have one league win total since the turn of the new year. Overall the eagles have now gone W0 D5 L4 in their last nine Premier League away games as well, so they aren’t a side that you can trust out on the road very well, not to win at least. But they did take that big win over Newcastle earlier in the season and may take confidence from their FA Cup semi final victory to stick in there for a point. That’s it with Palace, you just never know. Emmanuel Adebayor has scored six goals and assisted six more in his last nine Premier League games against Newcastle United and is a price of 11/4 to strike on Saturday.

Newcastle v Crystal Palace Predictions
Hard to have enough faith in the Eagles to go away from home and put a win on the board. They have won just one of their last eighteen in the top flight so not a team you should be throwing money at. Newcastle have improved over their last three games and should have done enough over them to build towards a home win over Palace. Home win and a massive three points for Newcastle.
