Wednesday Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Crystal Palace – Game Preview, Key Stats, Betting Predictions.
Newcastle’s Home Form and Defensive Gaps
Newcastle have scored in each of their last nine Premier League home matches, with all of those games producing over 2.5 goals – a clear sign of both attacking efficiency and occasional defensive leaks.
Despite winning five on the bounce across all competitions, they’ve conceded in three of those five games, including against Manchester United (1), Brentford (1), and Liverpool (1).
With key centre-backs Lascelles and Botman ruled out, the defensive line lacks stability, further increasing the chances of conceding against a pacey Palace front line.
Crystal Palace’s Recent Attacking Surge
Palace are unbeaten in 10 of their last 12 matches across all competitions and have been particularly productive on the road, scoring exactly twice in five of their last six away league games.
The attacking trio of Eze, Sarr, and Mateta has been effective, while Eberechi Eze stands out with three goals and three assists in his last five appearances.
Even in defeat to Manchester City (5-2), Palace showed their threat by racing into a 2-0 lead – a clear indication they can score against high-calibre opponents.
Head-to-Head Trends & Motivation of Newcastle United and Crystal Palace
While Newcastle have the upper hand at home, Palace have scored in 13 of their last 18 league games, and with the top half of the table still within reach, they remain motivated to continue their solid run.
Palace held Newcastle to a 1-1 draw in the reverse fixture, showing their ability to breach the Magpies’ defense.
Newcastle, meanwhile, have the incentive of climbing to third place, which will keep them pushing forward aggressively, even at the risk of being exposed defensively.
Key Players to Watch in This EPL Match
Harvey Barnes (Newcastle) – 3 goals in his last 2 games and a knack for scoring late, can be decisive again.
Eberechi Eze (Palace) – Often the initiator of attacks, with multiple first-goal contributions recently.
Newcastle United and Crystal Palace Match Final Verdict
With both teams possessing attacking threats, Newcastle missing key defenders, and Palace in prolific away form, the BTTS market offers excellent value. This is a fixture where neither side is likely to walk away with a clean sheet. Prediction: Both Teams to Score
