Palace Puncheon Above Their Weight
Averaging Loic Remy shot numbers at the moment and a significant goal threat if continuing in that vein.
We have already nailed our colours to the mast by predicting a Crystal Palace win and if there is an upset at White Hart Lane, Jason Puncheon is the likely catalyst.
After a slow start to the season, the midfielder has started to hit form. He is a compelling threat, averaging 2.2 shots per game and should be finding the net more regularly.
His goal against Norwich on New Year’s Day was his first of the campaign but his shot statistics are trending in the right direction.
Jason Puncheon last six games
In his last six league games, Jason Puncheon has been averaging 3.2 shots per game but these aren’t just speculative efforts, over half have come from inside the box.
Puncheon v Remy per game
At the moment he is recording Loic Remy type numbers and with the Newcastle striker generally a 5/2 chance to find the net, Jason Puncheon is a cracking first goalscorer bet at 20/1 (Bet365).
Back him each-way and get 1/3 odds if he score anytime during the match against Tottenham.
