Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting tips
The English Premier League is more balanced than seldom before this season. After nine game days, the table-15. Newcastle United, for example, is as much behind the Champions League starting position three (seven points) as they are ahead of the first relegation position 18. A big leap in the table can be made with a successful run. The tenth matchday will open this weekend in the capital. In London, Crystal Palace and Newcastle face each other.
The Eagles from the London borough of Selhurst are also right in the middle of the broad midfield and could even make a jump to sixth / seventh place with a win. According to the best bookmakers, between Crystal Palace and Newcastle the tip on a home win seems the most likely choice.
However, after the last international break in 2020, both teams suffered a defeat without a goal of their own and are looking to make amends. The game in Selhurst Park starts on Friday evening at 20:00 p.m. In the Premier League tip category, our authors will publish previews and tip recommendations for many other games in the English House of Lords.
Crystal Palace:
Veteran coach Roy Hodgson (73 years old) experienced a splendid start to the season for his team this season. After the opening win against Southampton, a surprising win against the Red Devils was achieved at Old Trafford. Recently, however, there was a bit of a mess and in the last seven league games the team from the capital celebrated only two more wins.
Should the third home win of this season succeed on Friday, the Eagles could orientate themselves towards the European starting positions. However, a look at the statistics shows that this victory is not to be expected. Crystal Palace has played twelve games on a Friday in the English Premier League, and has not yet won one. In addition to five draws, there are a total of seven defeats and thus Crystal Palace has the longest “victory series” in the English upper house of football on a certain day of the week.
At home in Selhurst Park, the Spanish goalkeeper Vicente Guiata was only able to keep his box clean in one of the last eight league games (1-0 against Southampton on Matchday 1). Although the defensive conceded few goals, there was usually a goal to cope with.
This was also the case last Monday when Crystal Palace made a guest appearance at the team from Burnley, which was still without a win. After just eight minutes, the Hodgson-Elf fell behind and could not break through the defensive bulwark of the Clarets. The absence of Wilfried Zaha (five goals, two assists) was clearly felt. The Ivorian will also be out on Friday due to a positive test result.
The inferior Friday statistics and the Zaha failure are definitely arguments that speak against the tip on the home side between Crystal Palace and Newcastle.
Newcastle:
With the Magpies there is still no peace. Owner Mike Ashley has long been tired of the club and after the takeover of a Saudi Arabian consortium failed, also due to external pressure, the club will now take legal action against the Premier League. By no means an ideal situation, since players and those responsible should be able to concentrate on the sporting side.
With eleven points from nine games, Steve Bruce’s team can look back on an acceptable start to the season. Even if more would have been possible, a good value due to the many question marks surrounding the club. Most recently, however, the team had to accept two 0-2 defeats against the formidable Southampton and Chelsea. Newcastle last suffered three defeats without their own goal in January 2016.
In the game of the Magpies there are extremely few goals to be seen. So far this season Newcastle have recorded 71 shots on goal, of which just 21 have found their way onto goal. This represents the worst value of all 20 PL teams. However, the statistics are completely contrary to the conversion of chances, because with 21 shots on goal ten goals were scored. Almost every second goal completion is a success – league record!
While the offensive gets the fewest shots on goal, goalkeeper Karl Darlow has his hands full. He was able to save a total of 41 shots on goal this season and thus has the highest number of successful saves in absolute terms.
What is striking about the games of the Magpies, however, is the fact that many goals are scored, especially as the game continues. Newcastle themselves scored eight of the ten goals in the second half. In addition, no fewer than 15 goals have been scored in games with Newcastle participation in the last 15 minutes. In this regard, on Friday between Crystal Palace and Newcastle, the prediction of more hits in half-time two is an interesting betting option.
