Resurging Magpies Meet Declining Brentford
As the relegation drop zone has threatened Newcastle United for most of the 2021/22 EPL season thus far, a sigh of relief has been felt in Tyneside because the Magpies are now riding a healthy undefeated streak of 5 domestic meetings and have additionally removed themselves from the bottom three.

Positioned in 17th place of the Premier League table, claiming all three points at Griffin Park this Saturday could propel Newcastle United into their opponent's league position of 14th. And with a positive unbeaten streak in place, Eddie Howe's men will be confident in their chance of outperforming a declining Brentford squad.
The early-season days of newly promoted Brentford shocking EPL fans have concluded, as the Bees are now delivering lackluster performances like the critics expected pre-season - with 7 losses from their previous 8 games.
Despite the recent results, with a looming relegation threat, Thomas Frank's side isn't taking their foot off the gas. Brentford has scored in 3 of their previous 5 games, and one of those fixtures came against Manchester City.
Final Thoughts | Premier League Betting Odds
The EPL odds are scattered into plus money value for both teams, and that's because the result of this game is a tossup. With that said, Newcastle is the in-form side, and although the absence of their top goal scorer Callum Wilson has been damaging, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Magpies walk away with all three points.

I'm not entirely trusting Newcastle's ability because they've notably garnered the 2nd-worst away record in the Premier League. However, we can take some insurance with a Newcastle United victory by backing them in the draw no bet betting market.
Brentford vs. Newcastle Score Prediction: Brentford 1 – Newcastle 2

Crystal Palace FC vs. Burnley FC
Saturday, February 26, 2022 - 10:00 AM EST at Selhurst Park
Form, Mentality, and Premier League Trends
- Crystal Palace have lost 3 consecutive EPL home games
- Crystal Palace have won just 1 of their last 7 EPL fixtures
- Burnley scores an average of 0.92 goals in their EPL away games
- Burnley haven't lost in 5 of their last 6 domestic games
Expect Goals at Both Ends of the Pitch
Following an impressive 4-1 dismantling of Watford on Wednesday evening, Crystal Palace returns to Selhurst Park with hopes to better a questionable home record. They'll welcome Burnley, who return after impressively dampening the Champions League aspirations when defeating Tottenham Hotspur 1-0.
Burnley has conceded fewer goals (29) than Manchester United, West Ham, and every team in the lower half of the division this term. However, with 3 wins, 11 draws, and 9 losses, Sean Dyche's side, unfortunately, sits inside the bottom three with a mere 20 points on the board.
Although a midweek trip to Watford resulted in a positive outcome for Crystal Palace, they were previously riding a 6-game winless run – three of which were home game losses. To their credit, they've faced top-tier teams in Chelsea, Liverpool, West Ham, and Tottenham during this stretch.
Final Thoughts | Premier League Betting Odds
Contrary to the low-scoring affairs Burnley has been involved in, the reverse fixture at Turf Moor between these two sides delivered a thrilling 3-3 encounter. Sportsbooks aren't considering this with their valuable goal market prices, and I expect a repeated free-flowing game on Saturday.
While Patrick Vieira's men aim to break a less than desirable home form, Burnley vies to lift themselves from the relegation zone. Given these aspects of the game, goals could well be on the cards.
Crystal Palace vs. Burnley Score Prediction: Crystal Palace 2 – Burnley 2
