Picks

Crystal Palace +0.5 (+110 on DraftKings)
Newcastle have been one of the top teams in the EPL lately, but Crystal Palace have been nearly as dominant over the past few months in the middle of the pack. Crystal Palace is 5-1-2 over their last eight EPL matches since the start of February, including three victories over teams currently ahead of them in the standings, showcasing the ability to knock off teams having better seasons than them.

“Newcastle are one of the hottest teams in the Premier League, having won four consecutive league games,” Sutton said. “However, the Magpies have struggled against Crystal Palace in recent years. In the reverse fixture, the two sides settled for a 1-1 draw, a game in which Newcastle didn’t record a single shot on target. Newcastle has just one win in their last six matches against Palace across all competitions.”

Both Teams to Score: Yes (-150)
Goals have been frequent at St. James’ Park in recent weeks as both teams have scored in five straight Newcastle home matches. The Magpies scored 10 goals over their last three home games and have at least one goal in nine straight home games. Newcastle have scored at least three goals in six of those home matches as well. But the Newcastle defense hasn’t been stellar over that span, allowing 11 goals over their last five home matches. Jean-Philippe Mateta leads Crystal Palace with 13 goals and has scored at least one in seven of his last 11 league contests.

“I’m also expecting both teams to score,” Sutton mentioned. “Crystal Palace have scored at least once in 13 consecutive league games, while Newcastle have scored 10 goals in their last four fixtures in the Premier League.” BTTS is -150 at DraftKings.
