Predictions
Newcastle's poor away form (4W from 15), depleted squad missing Bruno Guimaraes and multiple defenders, plus active squad morale issues under Howe's uncertain future, makes an away win unlikely against a Palace side with recent momentum and home-ground familiarity.
Crystal Palace's recent home pattern shows very quiet first halves (two consecutive 0-0 halftimes at home vs Leeds and AEK Larnaca), and with key attackers missing, the match is likely to start cautiously with under 1.5 first-half goals.
Palace's extremely low home scoring rate (0.93/game) combined with missing their primary striker Mateta and backup Nketiah, plus Newcastle's modest away scoring (1.0/game), strongly points to a low-scoring affair where both sides struggle to find the net.
Newcastle's season-long away scoring rate of exactly 1.0 per game, further diminished by losing Bruno Guimaraes as their creative hub, against a Palace side conceding under 1 per game recently, strongly supports Newcastle scoring fewer than 2 goals.
Both teams average over 2 yellow cards per match with a combined foul rate near 25 per game, and both have shown elevated red card tendencies recently, making a total of 4+ cards highly plausible in a competitive mid-table PL fixture.
Newcastle's low corner counts in recent away matches (1-2 corners) combined with Palace's moderate home corner average and the expected low-tempo, low-scoring nature of this mid-table clash suggests total corners will likely stay under 10.5.
Newcastle's very poor away win rate (27%) combined with their injury crisis and managerial uncertainty makes it likely that Palace avoid defeat at home, supported by their recent 5-match unbeaten run and reasonable H2H record at Selhurst Park.
Palace's low SOT average (3.7) worsened by missing their top strikers, combined with what should be a cautious mid-table encounter, suggests both teams will struggle to regularly test the goalkeeper, keeping combined SOT under 10.
Palace's strong recent defensive record (0.7 goals conceded per game over last 10) and Newcastle's inconsistent away scoring suggest at least one side is likely to fail to score, particularly given Palace's attacking absences that could lead to a tight, cagey match.
Palace's home form in recent H2H at Selhurst (unbeaten in last 2), combined with Newcastle's terrible away record and significant injuries to key personnel (Bruno Guimaraes, Schar), tilts the balance toward a Palace home win despite their own poor overall home record this season.
Palace have been defensively solid recently with 2 clean sheets in 3 home games, and Newcastle's absence of Bruno Guimaraes significantly weakens their away creative output, though Newcastle's season-long average of 1.0 away goals still makes a clean sheet far from certain.
