As Crystal Palace welcomes Newcastle United this Sunday, expect a lively encounter that’s likely to see more than two goals. Palace, despite a mixed home record, has found the net 1.8 times on average in their last five games at Selhurst Park, while conceding 2.4. Meanwhile, Newcastle, with a similar trend, has averaged 1 goal per game away but has been shipping 2.2 goals to opponents. Both teams have a history of engaging in high-scoring affairs, with their last five encounters yielding a balanced 2-1-2 record. With an impressive xG of 0 for both teams in their recent matches, it’s clear they’re generating chances—just not converting at their highest potential yet. Given the trends and the attacking flair on display, betting on over 1.5 total goals here seems not just reasonable, but enticing!
