Newcastle Analysis

After 7 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses, the home team sits in 13th place with 26 points. In their last match, they defeated Burnley away with a score of 3-1, after previously losing to Manchester United 1-0 in the match before. Newcastle is impacted by home advantage, performing better in front of their fans, as they have recorded 3 wins, 5 draws, and 7 losses in their last 30 away matches, scoring 20 goals and conceding 20, compared to 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses at home, scoring 30 goals and conceding 16. In their last 9 league home games, Newcastle has a record of 5 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses, earning 17 points from a possible 27.

In this competition, they have not lost at home in 6 matches. However, their defense has not been very strong, conceding goals in each of their last 10 matches, but their attack has been consistently scoring, successfully finding the net in 8 of their last 10 matches in this competition. Their home games have a tendency to see goals, as 7 of their last 9 matches in the league have ended with over 2.5 goals. In 19 matches in the competition, they have never managed to overturn the scoreline in the 4 matches where they conceded the first goal. There is one period to highlight in the last 20 matches played at home across all competitions: they conceded 8 of their 21 goals between the 76th and 90th minutes.

Newcastle comes into this match following a victory, 3-1, against Burnley, ending a three-match winless streak in this Premier League. The goals for this victory were scored by Bruno Guimarães, Yoane Wissa, and Joelinton.

Crystal Palace comes into this match after drawing 1-1 with Fulham, marking their fourth consecutive match without tasting victory in this Premier League, with their only goal scored by Jean-Philippe Mateta.
