Newcastle under Eddie Howe's leadership are on a winning streak, aiming for a top-five spot after four consecutive victories. Their recent form suggests a strong chance of securing another win against Crystal Palace at home, despite Palace's threatening performance on the road and ability to score. The tactical approach of Palace, focusing on counter-attacks and utilizing wing-backs, will challenge Newcastle's defense, but the Magpies are expected to maintain their defensive solidity.
Crystal Palace, known for their resilience and attacking prowess, are likely to find the back of the net against Newcastle. However, the defensive strength of Newcastle, combined with the offensive capabilities of players like Harvey Barnes and Alexander Isak, may give them the edge in what is expected to be a tightly contested match. Sutton predicts a 2-1 victory for Newcastle in this upcoming fixture, acknowledging the potential for Palace to make an impact but ultimately favoring Newcastle's current form and performance.
