Newcastle United are flying high and chasing a top-three finish in the Premier League. Fresh off a dominant 4-1 win over Manchester United, the Magpies are now ready to welcome Crystal Palace to St James’ Park for a crucial game in hand. Kenyan football fans, especially those placing their bets with Bangbet.com, will want to watch this fixture as both sides are chasing different targets at this late-season stage.

Magpies Soaring Towards Champions League Dreams

Despite manager Eddie Howe being hospitalised last week, Newcastle showed grit, hunger, and clinical finishing against the Red Devils. That win marked their fourth straight victory in the league, and another win here would push them into third place, five points clear of sixth.

St James’ Park has been a fortress recently. The Magpies aim for a fourth consecutive home league victory for the first time this campaign. Even more impressive is their high-scoring trend—each of their last nine home league matches has featured over 2.5 goals, a stat that will excite Bangbet punters looking for goal-heavy bets.

Crystal Palace’s Bounce-Back Mentality Tested

The Eagles appeared to be flying high after a five-match unbeaten run, but were grounded by Manchester City in a dramatic 5-2 loss after initially leading 2-0. Manager Oliver Glasner remains optimistic, pointing to their previous five-match bounce-back streak after conceding five against Arsenal earlier in the season.

However, their record at St James’ Park is less than promising. Palace have failed to score in their last four visits (D1, L3), and have only won once in six previous trips. That said, they’ve shown teeth away from home recently, scoring exactly twice in five of their last six away games, making this a potentially explosive encounter.

Players to Watch

• Harvey Barnes (Newcastle): The Englishman has found red-hot form at the perfect time, scoring three goals in his last two games. Impressively, all eight of his league goals this season have come after the 30th minute, making him an excellent pick for live betting and second-half markets.
  
• Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace): Palace’s playmaker has been influential, with six goal contributions (3 goals, 3 assists) in his last five games. Notably, his previous three goals have all been the first of the match, making him a top candidate for first goalscorer bets on Bangbet.

Hot Stat

Only one of Newcastle’s last 18 Premier League matches has been goalless at half-time. That suggests early action and value in first-half betting markets—perfect for punters seeking in-play thrills.

Prediction: Newcastle 3-2 Crystal Palace

Expect fireworks at St James’ Park. Newcastle’s firepower at home and their current winning momentum makes them firm favourites. But Palace’s scoring run on the road means they could still push the Magpies all the way. A five-goal thriller is on the cards.

Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals is a solid betting pick, with Newcastle winning as the smart bet for your Bangbet slip.
