Premier League action resumes following the international break this weekend, with Newcastle looking to enhance their chances of a European finish this term. The Magpies will be looking for maximum points when they come up against Crystal Palace at St. James’ Park.
Before Betting On Newcastle vs Crystal Palace
There is little to separate these sides in the current Premier League standings, as Newcastle sit just a point above Crystal Palace in the table. The Magpies come into the weekend in fine recent form, as they have gone four without defeat in the Premier League. However, they will be looking to get back to winning ways after seeing their three-match winning run ended at West Ham before the international break.
Crystal Palace also come into this fixture in fine recent form in the Premier League, as they have gone three without a defeat in the competition. However, the Eagles have landed just a single victory over that period, with two matches ending in draws, including a 0-0 stalemate against Nottingham Forest a couple of weeks ago.
This has typically been a low-scoring fixture in the Premier League, as the last four meetings between the sides have seen just three goals scored. Meanwhile, both of the clashes last term ended in 0-0 draws. But, Palace are winless in their previous four against the Magpies, and they have failed to score in their last three.
Newcastle’s home record would be a key trend to consider this weekend, as they have allowed just 17 goals at St. James’ Park since the start of last season. That is the fewest of any side in the top-flight that were involved in the competition both this season and last.

The trends suggest that this should be a low-scoring affair between the sides this weekend. Newcastle would be our pick to win the game, but we could see them edging to a 1-0 success against their rivals.
