Crystal Palace v Newcastle Betting Tips – Premier League, 22nd September 3.00pm

Newcastle have been struggling their way through a tough fixture list at the start of the season. They are still looking for their first win of the new term. Crystal Palace on the other hand have picked up a couple of successes and will be hoping to deliver another one on home soil on the weekend. Read our predictions for Crystal Palace v Newcastle.

Crystal Palace News and Form

Crystal Palace stopped a slide that they were on by taking a win out at Huddersfield last weekend. That was a 1-0 success for them. It has been all about Wilfried Zaha again for them as he has scored all but one of their four league goals this season. He is the game-changer for the Eagles and so influential. Zaha is at 9/2 odds in the First Goalscorer market* (Betting Odds were taken from September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.). Because the Eagles have conceded most of their goals in the second half of matches, the half time draw could well appeal.

All but one of the goals that they conceded this season have gone against them in the second half of matches. In their two home games this season they have suffered 2-0 defeats against Liverpool and Southampton. It is hard to see a lot of goals flying around in this one, but because we are predicting a home win, then the Crystal Palace 1-0 correct score option is at 6/1 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.) as we are looking at a home win.

Newcastle News and Form

Newcastle have had a very tough start to the new season and part of that has been down to the fixture list. They have just the one point on the board from a draw against Cardiff with their four defeats coming against Spurs, Chelsea, Man City, and Arsenal. So that has not been an easy sequence of matches for them but now they can perhaps start looking forward to an easy and better time of things. It’s hard to snap out of losing streaks though. All four of their defeats have been by a 2-1 scoreline this season.

But under 2.5 goals is at 7/10 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from September 18th, 2018 at 6:35 p.m.) and that appeals in our Crystal Palace v Newcastle betting tips. The positives for them is that they have been hitting the back of the net and against higher quality opposition as well. So really it is hard to get a good picture of just where they are at at the moment. The telling result out of all their games this season could be that 0-0 draw out at Cardiff, a failure to beat a newly promoted side.

Crystal Palace v Newcastle Head to Head

In last season’s meetings between the two in the top flight, it was Newcastle on top as they picked up four points from their two meetings. Four of the last five meetings between the two of them have ended under 2.5 goals. The Eagles have stayed undefeated in their last three home games against Newcastle in the Premier League with a W1 D2 record. Half of the last six meetings between them have ended in a draw.

Crystal Palace v Newcastle Predictions

Crystal Palace to win: The Eagles have at least shown enough to get a couple of wins on the board this season and because of that and just how unreliable Newcastle look, we have to simply roll with the home win.
