It sounds like there’s a lot at stake for both Crystal Palace and Newcastle United in their upcoming match. Crystal Palace seems to be on a positive streak, especially with players like Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise making significant impacts when they start together. Jean-Philippe Mattea’s goal-scoring form under Oliver Glasner is also noteworthy.
Newcastle, on the other hand, seems to have picked up momentum lately, with a notable improvement in their points tally over their past few games. Alexander Isak’s consistent goal-scoring and Anthony Gordon’s contributions highlight their attacking strength.
It’ll be interesting to see how both teams perform, especially considering the historical head-to-head statistics and the recent form of key players. Crystal Palace have won just five of their 25 Premier League matches against Newcastle United, including only two at home. Newcastle’s 4-0 win in the reverse fixture is their biggest league victory against Palace. The Magpies can win both Premier League meetings in a season for the third time, after 1994-95 and 2013-14. However, Newcastle have won on only one of their past eight league visits to Selhurst Park. Crystal Palace Crystal Palace have won consecutive Premier League matches for the first time since a run of three in April 2023. However, they are winless in their last 15 league fixtures to be played on a Wednesday. Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise have started only six Premier League matches together this season, winning the last four. They have scored or assisted 13 of the 14 goals scored in those six games – the other goal was an own goal. Palace average 2.4 points per game this season when Olise, Eze and Jean-Philippe Mateta all start, in contrast to 0.9 without the trio. Olise has scored seven goals and provided four assists in 10 Premier League starts this campaign. Mateta is the first Palace player to score in four successive top-flight home matches since Mark Bright had a run of five from December 1990 to January 1991. Mateta has scored six goals since Oliver Glasner’s first Premier League game in charge, a tally bettered only by Cole Palmer (10) and Alexander Isak (7) during this period. Newcastle United
