Pick 1: Full-Time Result – Newcastle to Win
We are backing Newcastle to Win at 2.37. Here is why this is a smart angle:
- Rest Advantage: The hosts arrive with just 72 hours of recovery after a brutal European trip to Turkiye. The Magpies have enjoyed a full seven days of preparation.

Recent Form & Head-to-Head
Analyzing the Crystal Palace vs Newcastle H2H record reveals historical dominance for the visitors. In 60 overall meetings, the Magpies have secured 33 victories compared to just 14 for the Eagles, with 13 draws. However, recent encounters at Selhurst Park have been highly competitive, with the hosts unbeaten in their last five home fixtures against this opponent.
Form heading into this clash is dreadful for both camps. The hosts were recently humiliated 5-0 by Brighton, leaving them with a league-worst 17 goals conceded. The visitors are also sliding, losing 1-0 to Aston Villa and managing only one clean sheet in seven matches.

Match Preview: Crystal Palace vs Newcastle
Crystal Palace head into this fixture under immense pressure. Following a humiliating 5-0 thrashing at the hands of Brighton, manager Pierre Sage is fighting for his job. With the worst defensive record in the division, the Eagles desperately need a response to avoid slipping deeper into a relegation dogfight.
Newcastle are equally desperate to arrest a worrying slide. Matthias Jaissle’s men have lost three of their last four, looking incredibly vulnerable at the back. This clash is shaping up to be an absolute shootout between two desperate sides needing all three points to salvage their early-season ambitions.
- Both managers are under intense scrutiny following poor recent results.
- The hosts’ European commitments could result in heavy legs late in the match.
Team News & Predicted Lineups
When assessing the latest Crystal Palace vs Newcastle lineups, injuries play a massive role. The hosts are facing a severe defensive crisis. Chadi Riad, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Ben Chilwell remain sidelined. Crucially, first-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson lacks match fitness, meaning Benítez will likely retain his spot between the sticks.
The visitors have their own headaches in the engine room and on the flanks. Anthony Elanga, arguably their most dangerous creative outlet before his injury, remains out. Jacob Ramsey and Tino Livramento will also skip this clash, forcing Jaissle into tactical adjustments to cover his defensive gaps.
- Crystal Palace Predicted Lineup: (3-4-2-1): Benítez; Disasi, Richards, Canvot; Khalaili, Kamada, Wharton, Mitchell; Sarr, Pino; Strand Larsen
- Newcastle Predicted Lineup: (4-2-3-1): Hornicek; Miley, Thiaw, Botman, Hall; Nico González, Joelinton; Fernandez-Pardo, Osula, Barnes; Wissa
