**Newcastle's Home Form Should Overwhelm Palace's Road Struggles**
Watch Alexander Isak against Marc Guehi. That's where this match gets decided.
Newcastle's won 8 of their last 12 at St. James' Park, and Eddie Howe's side looks dangerous when they push the tempo early. Palace has picked up just 3 wins in their last 10 away matches, and they're leaking goals on the road. Real talk: Oliver Glasner's setup works better at Selhurst Park where they can sit deeper and counter.
The Magpies will press high, force turnovers in Palace's defensive third, and Isak will find space behind the backline. Bruno Guimaraes controls the midfield battle, and that's game over.
**Prediction: Newcastle 3-1 Crystal Palace.** Isak bags two, and Palace grabs a late consolation that flatters them.
