Newcastle is also quite productive in scoring goals because almost on average in one match they scored more than two goals. One ticket to the Champions League has almost been obtained as long as they can perform consistently in the rest of the match. Some teams in the top five standings have a fairly close point difference so that the position could change at the end of the season.
But even so Nottingham Forest and Man City are not necessarily safe because Chelsea and Aston Villa chasing quite closely behind them, so that if you get one defeat or draw in the next match it can give a change in position in the standings with the rest of the match.
This is inseparable from Newcastle's motivation to secure their position and they avoid the same points from other teams when the end of the season so that at this time Newcastle will try to score more goals.
And the victory over Crystal Palace I think is quite reasonable because Newcastle and Crystal Palace have a significant difference in quality so it is not difficult for Newcastle to get 3 points, especially those who play at home.
The competition for tickets to the Champion League is indeed very fierce, especially for several teams that have a fairly small difference in points so that it is possible for shifts to occur every week, but if you look at the last few weeks in the matches of all the teams competing at this time, I think Newcastle has a large percentage to be able to get a ticket to the Champion League next season.
