Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United Preview
Newcastle enjoyed a restful weekend while Crystal Palace continued their fight on the pitch, securing valuable momentum. As the Premier League season enters its final stretch with just five games remaining, Palace finds themselves in 14th position, boasting an 11-point buffer from the relegation zone.
After enduring tense moments earlier in the campaign, the Eagles now appear to be on solid ground and can begin looking ahead to next season in the Premier League with a sense of security.
Palace’s rise from the relegation zone was sparked by two major victories within a week. First, they stunned everyone with a 1-0 win over Liverpool at Anfield. Then, they followed it up with a dominant 5-2 victory against West Ham.
Newcastle also benefited from Palace’s win, as it kept West Ham two points behind the Magpies, despite having played two more games. With Manchester United and Manchester City competing in the FA Cup final and United currently in seventh place, sixth might be the final European qualification spot in the Premier League this season.
The Magpies currently sit in sixth place, a position they’ve earned through three wins in their last four matches. Despite this good form, they’re far from comfortable, with only three points separating them from ninth-placed Chelsea in what’s shaping up to be a fierce battle for European football.
Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United Betting Tips and Predictions
Newcastle United To Win & Both Teams To Score
Newcastle are on a roll, having gone unbeaten in their last four matches. They’ve notched three wins in their last five games and will be aiming to continue their impressive form in their upcoming match on Wednesday night.
In their last five encounters, Eddie Howe’s side has secured three wins, with two matches ending in draws. Crystal Palace’s most recent victory in this fixture came in 2021.
Furthermore, the prospect of European competition next season serves as added motivation for Newcastle United in this match. With the realisation that they can’t afford to drop any more points if they aim to secure a spot in Europe, we expect the Magpies to be determined to claim all three points.
When it comes to the both teams to score prediction, it’s straightforward. Newcastle United has been prolific in front of goal this season, netting 69 times in 32 games, averaging 2.16 goals per game. However, defensively, they’ve had their challenges, conceding 52 goals.
In addition, the home team has found the back of the net in their last nine matches at Selhurst Park. Their recent 5-goal haul over the weekend will only further boost their confidence in front of goal, making the both teams to score tip an obvious choice.
Alexander Isak To Score Anytime
Alexander Isak to score is our final tip for this exciting fixture, which is 3/2 on Lucky Block’s latest Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United odds.
The Swedish striker has had an exceptional season at Newcastle, registering 17 goals in the Premier League thus far. This impressive tally places him among the top five goal scorers in the league for this campaign.
Moreover, it’s worth noting that he has netted six goals in his last five games, a remarkable achievement. With such an impressive scoring record, the striker is in red-hot form and is likely to further bolster his tally of 17 goals against the Eagles.
Crystal Palace Team News
Crystal Palace continues to be without key players such as Cheick Doucoure, Marc Guehi, and Sam Johnstone.
However, they received a boost with the return of Chris Richards, Joel Ward, and Will Hughes from injury over the weekend. This provides manager Oliver Glasner with valuable options as they navigate through this crucial phase of the season.
Crystal Palace Predicted Line-Up: Henderson, Clyne, Andersen, Richards, Munoz, Mitchell, Wharton, Hughes, Olise, Eze, Mateta

Eddie Howe will be eager to have Kieran Trippier back in action this week, although it’s unlikely that Joe Willock will be fit in time.
