Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Prediction and Betting Tips: Back goals at Selhurst Palace

Newcastle are battling it out for a European spot and they will look to take another big step towards that goal with a win over Crystal Palace, who are having a good spell under new manager Oliver Glasner.

The game takes place on Wednesday at Selhurst Park in London, kicking off at 8pm.

Back-to-back wins against Liverpool and West Ham have given Crystal Palace a real boost, and they have been much more attacking under new boss Oliver Glasner.

The Eagles beat the Hammers 5-2 at the weekend, and there could be another high-scoring affair on the cards when they host Newcastle, who remain mired in injury issues.

Newcastle are favourites to get the better of Crystal Palace in this midweek clash, but there are enough negatives about the Magpies to avoid them at their current price.

The Eagles are flying high after wins over European challengers Liverpool and West Ham, and the visitors' record away from home leaves plenty to be desired.

Newcastle have taken just 14 points from their road trips, compared to 36 at St James' Park, and only the bottom four have won fewer points away from home than Eddie Howe's men.

The Magpies' attacking style has gained them plenty of plaudits and they are certainly exciting to watch, but they can be too open at times and are missing Joelinton's presence in midfield.

The Brazilian is one of 11 first-team players either injured, suspended, or doubtful for this clash, an issue that has dogged Newcastle all season.

Their fitness issues are particularly bad in defence, where they are missing Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Targett.

Against a Palace team that have netted six times in their last two outings, that could be an issue.

Ten of Crystal Palace's last 12 Premier League home games have seen both teams find the net, and a repeat of that looks likely in what could be an end-to-end affair.

Five of Crystal Palace's last seven home matches in the league have gone over 3.5 goals, and eight of Newcastle's 15 wins in the league this term have produced four or more goals.

Take over 3.5 to land in what should be an entertaining affair.

Anthony Gordon struggled somewhat when he first moved to Newcastle but he has been one of their standout performers this season and is fancied to get on the scoresheet here.

The former Everton man has ten league goals this term, including in the reverse fixture against these opponents.

Gordon netted in his last game against Tottenham and could add to that tally with another strike here as he looks to make his case for inclusion in this summer's England squad for the Euros.
