Premier League match on Saturday afternoon, both in the middle of the table at the moment, Crystal Palace is in 14th place while Newcastle is one place above, just one more point difference for visitors, so match is expected.
Prediction for the game that the midfielder of the Crystal palace Milivojevic will give 67 or more passes, the Serbian is the Palace player who passes all the balls, rare is the match that is not the player of the center of the field that gives more passes and is that it is placed ahead of the defense and is key for the ball out and connect the defense players with more advanced players, here the average of the three players who touch the ball in the team where we can see that there is a difference with the other two that you spend more give:
– MILIVOJEVIC: 50.8 passes / match.
– Cahill: 42.1 passes / match.
– Patrick Van Aanholt: 41.9 passes / match.
One of the positive aspects of the forecast is that our player is to be 90 minutes in the field, after 22 games played in this Premier has only replaced in one of them, it was against Manchester City, they changed it in the minute 76
As the Serbian midfielder has played 22 games and has exceeded the line of 67 passes in 5 games, it may seem a bad balance but of course here the key is the rival, a Newcastle who burns the ball, the team with less possession of the Premier, here the passes he has given to the 5 teams that have less possession in the Premier (4 because the fifth of least possession is the Crystal palace itself):
– Vs Sheffield: 52 passes.
– Vs Newcastle: 67 passes.
– Vs Watford: 52 passes.
– Vs Burnley: 71 passes.
– Vs Sheffield: 58 passes.
To finish on Milivojevic say that comes from giving 69 passes in the field of Everton, in that game the team had a possession of 53%, much merit.
Now we go to the key of the forecast and it is without a doubt Newcastle, the team with the least psoession of the Premier and by far, it is rare to see a game gaining possession, its game is to always give the initiative to the opponent and seek backlash with their Fast players you have up.
It is very difficult to see that one of Newcastle’s rival midfielders does not reach 67 passes, here the last 12 rivals he has had and the passes of his midfielders:
– Arsenal: 105 and 102 passes.
– Norwich: 59 and 69 passes.
– Everton: 74 and 87 passes.
– Chelsea: 112, 59 and 62 passes.
– Wolverhampton: 77 and 79 passes.
– Leicester: 65, 112 and 77 passes.
– Everton: 49 and 39 passes.
– Manchester United: 124 and 108 passes.
– Crystal Palace: 39, 67 and 50 passes.
– Burnley: 44 and 49 passes.
– Southampton. 76 and 52 passes.
– Sheffield: 78, 57 and 124 passes.
– Manchester City: 124, 82 and 74 passes.
We can see that of their last 12 games in 10 of them some midfielder has given 67 or more passes, only Everton and Burnley had no midfielder who reached the line.
PREDICTION: Crystal Palace to win @ 1,97
