Newcastle vs. Crystal Palace preview

Eddie Howe's Newcastle will aim to continue their red-hot form when they host Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, entering the clash on the back of five consecutive victories including a commanding 4-1 demolition of Manchester United.

Harvey Barnes was the star of the show against United, netting twice in a performance that showcased Newcastle's attacking intent as they push for Champions League qualification.

The Magpies will need to overcome significant defensive absences, with Botman, Hall, Lascelles, and Willock all sidelined for this important fixture.

Palace arrive at St. James' Park still reeling from a 5-2 thrashing by Manchester City despite taking an early two-goal lead, exposing vulnerabilities in their backline.

The Eagles will welcome back Eddie Nketiah and Marc Guehi from suspension, but face a daunting task against a Newcastle side that has found its groove at the perfect moment in the season.

History favors the home side, with Palace failing to secure a win in their last three visits to Newcastle – a trend that appears likely to continue given the contrasting trajectories of both teams.

Newcastle vs. Crystal Palace betting tips

Newcastle to Win and BTTS (9/4)

Crystal Palace @ Newcastle

Newcastle have been in remarkable form lately, winning 12 of their last 16 Premier League matches, giving them substantial momentum heading into this fixture.

Both teams have scored in six of Newcastle's last seven home games, suggesting their defensive solidity isn't quite matching their attacking prowess at St. James' Park.

Crystal Palace have shown they can find the net against strong opposition, making the BTTS element of this bet particularly appealing.

The Magpies' home advantage should prove decisive even with Palace likely to breach their defense at some point.

Newcastle's attacking firepower led by Isak and Bruno Guimarães should be enough to secure all three points in what promises to be an entertaining contest.

Newcastle to Win 2-1 (8/1)

Crystal Palace @ Newcastle

Newcastle likely won't dominate Crystal Palace the same way they did against Manchester United in their recent encounter.

The Magpies have shown they can grind out results when needed, and a narrow 2-1 scoreline reflects their ability to manage tighter contests.

Crystal Palace possess enough quality in attack to trouble Newcastle's defense, which hasn't been watertight at home recently.

This scoreline prediction aligns with the trend of both teams scoring in Newcastle's home matches while still acknowledging their overall superiority.

Eddie Howe's men should have enough quality to edge this contest by a single goal margin in what could be a competitive Premier League encounter.

Alexander Isak To Score Anytime (5/4)

Crystal Palace @ Newcastle

Alexander Isak has been in phenomenal form this season, already notching 20 Premier League goals to establish himself as one of the league's premier marksmen.

The Swedish striker's movement and clinical finishing have been crucial to Newcastle's impressive recent run of form.

After a relatively quiet performance by his high standards in their previous match, Isak will be hungry to get back on the scoresheet against Crystal Palace.

Palace's defense has shown vulnerabilities this season that a striker of Isak's caliber should be able to exploit.

With Newcastle expected to control much of the game at St. James' Park, Isak should receive plenty of service and opportunities to add to his impressive goal tally.
