Newcastle vs Crystal Palace Bet Builder Tips, Preview

Alexander Isak top scores for Newcastle this season with 20 Premier League goals and while the Swedish international hasn’t found the back of the net in either of his last 2 league games, we’re backing him to score against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night at St James’ Park.

Isak has scored 3 goals in in his last 5 Premier League appearances and has netted 6 goals in his last 9 outings for club and country across all competitions, so the striker is in good form right now.

The Swedish international has taken more shots (75) than any other Newcastle player in the Premier League this season and is averaging 2.98 shots per 90 minutes. A decent 33 of those shots have been on target which means that Isak is averaging 1.31 shots on target per 90 minutes and boasts a shots on target ratio of 44%.

Harvey Barnes scored twice Newcastle’s 4-1 victory over Man Utd at the weekend and the English winger has now scored 3 times in his last 2 Premier League appearances for the club.

Barnes, who has 8 Premier League goals to his name this season, has taken 45 shots during his 26 appearances and is currently averaging 3.46 shots per 90 minutes for the Magpies. The 27-year-old has managed to get 15 of his efforts on target, which makes for a shots on target ratio of 33.3%, and the winger is averaging 1.15 shots on target per 90 minutes in the Premier League.

The former Leicester City star had 2 shots against Man Utd, both of which hit the target and both resulted in goals; and we’re backing Barnes to hit the target at least once against and Eagles side that conceded 5 goals away at Man City on Saturday.

Crystal Palace might have been convincingly beaten at the Etihad over the weekend, but star player Eberechi Eze maintained his good form by scoring 1 of the Eagle’s 2 goals against Man City.

Eze, who has scored in 3 of his last 5 outings for club and country, has had more shots (89) than any other Crystal Palace or Newcastle player in the Premier League this season. The England international is averaging an impressive 3.68 shots per 90 minutes for the Eagles and has proven to be a real threat cutting in from the left-wing onto his favoured right-foot.

While his accuracy in front of goal leaves a little to be desired, We don’t need Eze to hit the target for this tip to pay out. We’re backing the Crystal Palace winger to take 3 or more shots at St James’ Park on Wednesday night in what should prove to be an exciting game at both ends of the pitch.
