Newcastle United hosts Crystal Palace in round 18 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 21st at St. James Park (Newcastle)
The current Newcastle, which continues to make its fans nervous, still has one stable positive feature in the current championship. It is expressed in very good results of the Magpies in their arena, where Newcastle United lost only once in eight meetings played. And even then the first and the last home defeat in this championship fell on the debut round (Newcastle lost in an equal fight to the titled Arsenal London - 0:1). But in subsequent matches, the Magpies beat the pants off Manchester United (a 1:0 victory), Manchester City (2:2), Bournemouth (2:1), Southampton (2:1) + they imposed an equal fight on very strong Wolves (1:1) and so forth!

As for Crystal Palace, this is a hard-boiled middle peasant of the English Premier League, who takes the vast majority of its points precisely at the home stadium. On the road, the Glaziers often fails even in confrontations with not-so-status opponents, for example, having already lost to Sheffield United (0: 1) and more serious Tottenham Hotspur (0:4) and Chelsea (0:2) without scoring a single goal. I can also highlight the recent 0-0 draw in Watford with an outsider of the same name.
In my opinion, purely homely Newcastle is unlikely to lose in the upcoming match since the opponent is not superior to the Black-Whites in all respects. Finally, I will note that the Magpies can fray the opponents’ nerves, not only in their St. James Park but also in foreign fields. In particular, they gained away victories over Tottenham (1-0), Sheffield United (2-0), West Ham (3:2), etc.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win with +0.5 handicap
