Match description
Crystal Palace have shown better form in the last 5 matches: 3 wins and 2 draws (PPG 2.2), scoring 8 and conceding only 2, while Newcastle have 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses (PPG 0.8), scoring 6 and conceding as many as 13. In terms of chance quality the home side hold a small edge in xG — 1.49 xG at home versus 1.44 xG for Newcastle away — and they average 13.67 shots (3.87 on target) per game compared to 11.8 shots (3.8 on target) for the visitors. Defensively Palace look stronger in the short term: they concede 1.2 goals on average at home and have 40% clean sheets, whereas Newcastle concede 1.27 away and have shipped 13 goals in their last five matches. Season-long metrics show Newcastle have scored more goals this season (44 vs 33) and enjoy higher possession (53% vs 48%), but these advantages do not offset their poor form and defensive issues. Considering Palace’s stability in results, the xG edge and the higher shot volume for the hosts, I forecast a Crystal Palace win; suggested probabilities are 50% home, 30% draw and 20% away.
