Zaha is the main man at Crystal Palace, but where would they be without him? He has scored 75% of Palace’s PL goals this season, and their record without him is just dreadful.
But, Newcastle are a bit of a bogey team for Palace, with Palace winning just one of their last 10 PL matches. Yet, Newcastle are sitting at the bottom of the table with just one draw so far. Fair enough, they have had a very hard fixture list, facing Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal and Man City. But, they only managed a 0-0 draw away to Cardiff.
To be honest, Newcastle have played fairly well in most of their games, and have only lost by one goal in all of their PL losses so far. 2-1 is the scoreline Newcastle fans see in their nightmares, as it’s been the case in all four of their losses this season.
Newcastle will be quietly optimistic going into this game, as the fixtures start to ease in their favour. But, they have a shocking record when visiting London teams. They have lost 14 of their last 19 PL trips to London, conceding in each of their previous 20 visits to teams in the Capital.
But, Newcastle have scored in all the games apart from Cardiff, proving they are a decent threat going forward. I see them scoring in this one, but Palace could take advantage of their poor form and low confidence.
Betting Tips
Our first tip is for both teams to score, which is best priced at 10/11 with Betfair. Both teams have found the net in their previous four H2H matches at Selhurst Park, and it looks likely to happen again.
But, we think Crystal Palace will win this one. Both teams to score, match result Palace is best priced at 7/2 with BoyleSports. Of course, if Palace are going to score two or more goals, their main man Zaha must get one?
He is best priced to score anytime at 19/10 with Betway.
