Newcastle will aim to extend their winning streak in the Premier League as they host Crystal Palace on Wednesday. Having secured four consecutive victories, Newcastle hopes to climb even higher in the league standings. They currently sit fourth in the EPL table with 56 points after winning five of their last six games. Crystal Palace, with 43 points, are in good form as well, boasting a 4-1-1 record in their recent six matches. Earlier in the season, the two teams played to a 1-1 draw on November 30th.
The match is scheduled for a 2:30 p.m. ET kickoff at St. James` Park. Bookmakers have Newcastle as favorites for this home game.
Crystal Palace +0.5 (+110 on DraftKings)
While Newcastle has been performing strongly at the top of the Premier League, Crystal Palace has shown impressive form in the mid-table in recent months. Crystal Palace`s record stands at 5 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last eight EPL games since February. Notably, three of these wins were against teams currently positioned higher than them in the league, demonstrating their ability to defeat strong opponents.
According to sports analysts, Newcastle is currently one of the most in-form teams in the Premier League, with four straight wins. However, historically, Newcastle has found it challenging to overcome Crystal Palace. Their previous encounter this season ended in a 1-1 draw, where Newcastle failed to register a single shot on target. In fact, Newcastle has only managed one victory in their last six meetings with Palace across all competitions.
Both Teams to Score: Yes (-150)
Matches at St. James` Park have been high-scoring affairs recently, with both teams finding the net in Newcastle`s last five home games. Newcastle has scored 10 goals in their last three home fixtures and has scored at least once in their last nine home games, including scoring three or more in six of those matches. However, their defense has conceded 11 goals in their last five home games. For Crystal Palace, Jean-Philippe Mateta is in excellent form, leading the team with 13 goals and scoring in seven of his last 11 league appearances.
Experts predict that both teams are likely to score in this match. Crystal Palace has scored in 13 consecutive league games, while Newcastle has scored 10 goals in their last four Premier League matches.
