Crystal Palace host Newcastle United on Wednesday in one of several midweek Premier League fixtures set to take place this week. As sixth-placed Newcastle United prepare for the long trip south to Selhurst Park, here at betting.bet you will find the best match insights and betting tips as well as generous free bets and odds from our partners at Unibet.
Form
Crystal Palace moved on to 36 points in the Premier League at the weekend with a deserved 5-2 win over West Ham United on Sunday afternoon. The Eagles have now won back-to-back league games for the first time this season having also earned a shock 1-0 win at Anfield one week earlier.
Newcastle United weren’t in action at the weekend but head to Selhurst Park full of confidence after last week’s rampant 4-0 win over Spurs at St James Park. Eddie Howe’s side now sit sixth in the Premier League with 50 points from their 32 matches. The Magpies have taken ten points from their last twelve available and won 1-0 at Fulham on their last trip to the capital.
Crystal Palace v Newcastle United: Head-to-Head
Crystal Palace have a poor recent record against Newcastle United, failing to win any of their past six meetings in all competitions. The Eagles have not scored in the last five and were soundly beaten 4-0 in the reverse fixture last October.
Recent head-to-head matches at Selhurst Park have also gone in Newcastle United’s favour with the visitors unbeaten in three trips to South East London. The corresponding fixture last season ended in a 0-0 draw.
Betting Tips
Newcastle United’s excellent record at Selhurst Park does make it tough to oppose the visitors on Wednesday but Crystal Palace were very impressive at home to West Ham United on Sunday. If the hosts’ front three of Olise, Eze and Mateta all start on Wednesday then we’re siding with The Eagles. A home win will be one of the more popular football betting predictions at odds of 9/5.
Jean-Philippe Mateta became the first Crystal Palace player to score in four straight home Premier League games on Sunday with a brace against West Ham United. The Frenchman has netted nine times in the league already this season and can be backed at 24/5 to score first or 8/5 to score at any time.
