Crystal Palace vs Newcastle prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-04-23 19:00.
[p]Crystal Palace seem to be enjoying a late-season renaissance having backed up beating Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield last weekend by romping to a 5-2 win over West Ham on Sunday, going 4-0 up after just 31 minutes! Manager Oliver Glasner appears to have got to grips with the Premier League (W3, D2, L3), with Palace now a healthy 11 points clear of the drop zone and already likely planning for next season in the top-flight.[/p]
[p]Safety might not yet be mathematically assured, but Eagles fans might be dreaming of soaring even higher than their current 14th place, particularly if they can continue their run of scoring in each of their last nine PL fixtures at Selhurst Park (W4, D2, L3). When the Londoners get on a roll at home, they can be hard to stop as all five league victories here this term saw them score at least three times![/p]
[p]Newcastle United’s race looks run as far as Champions League qualification is concerned this campaign but with Europa League and Europa Conference League spots undecided, there’ll be no let up as they look to extend their four-match unbeaten run (W3, D1). Now 16 points behind the top four, they’ll be raring to go as they’ve been out of action since thrashing Tottenham 4-0 more than a week ago.[/p]
[p]But the Magpies’ away form has been bitterly disappointing this term (W4, D2, L9) and as that includes two defeats to sides that sit below Palace ahead of this match (W2), Eddie Howe’s side will be taking nothing for granted. With both of their last two league defeats also coming in the capital, some fans might not be relishing another trip south although they haven’t lost to Palace anywhere since February 2021 (W3, D3). [/p]
[p]Players to watch: Palace’s Jean-Philippe Mateta has scored nine PL goals this season, with five of the last six of those coming at home and three of the last five inside the opening 15 minutes. Newcastle’s Anthony Gordon has one more league goal than Mateta this season, netting three of his last four between the 30th and 40th minute.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Newcastle have only lost one of their last six PL games played on a Wednesday (W4, D1).[/p]
