Newcastle have surprised many with their 11^th place standing in the league. Two wins in their last three has helped them climb the table but they are still just three points above 16^th placed Everton. Only two sides have scored fewer than Newcastle’s 17, bottom placed Watford and…

…Crystal Palace. The Eagles have scored less than a goal a game yet find themselves in a healthy position. Unbeaten in four and up to 9^th thanks to a defence that has conceded just 19, the fourth best tally in the league.

Under 1.5 Goals – 7/4

Predicting few goals in a game with two sides who have struggled in attack seems like a sensible call. Newcastle’s top goalscorer Shelvey is unlikely to feature, leaving defenders Federico Fernandez and Jetro Willems as their top scorers with two goals apiece. Jordan Ayew and Wilfried Zaha have scored exactly half of Palace’s goals with Luka Milivojevic likely the only other scorer available for Saturday. Zaha has been in great form of late and scored a brilliant equaliser against Brighton on the Monday Night Football.

 

Halftime Score 0-0 – 11/8

Palace have gone in level at halftime in four of their last five, all of which were goalless. The exception came from a stoppage-time goal from Zaha to put them 1-0 up. For Newcastle, it’s two of their last four goalless at the break and so the half-time score to be 0-0 looks a decent bet at odds of 11/8. Low scoring is the theme of these Newcastle vs Crystal Palace betting tips.

 

Draw 0-0 – 6/1

You guessed it. Our low scoring themed Premier League tips conclude with a 0-0 draw. Newcastle’s home advantage will likely count for little with exactly one goal scored by their attackers all season. Palace’s defence has been solid and should be able to cope with their injuries. They are too heavily reliant on Zaha of late, if Newcastle can keep him quiet then a 0-0 looks likely. Brighton managed that for large parts of Monday’s fixture and the Newcastle defensive players will have to be at their best on Saturday.
