Premier League Preview

Newcastle made a solid start to the new season, before suffering a wobble with three defeats on the bounce. However, they have responded to that setback excellently, and they come into the weekend having gone four matches in the league without a defeat. The Magpies could move up to fifth in the standings this weekend if they are able to pick up maximum points against the Eagles. 

But, they will be looking to get back on track after seeing their winning run ended at three matches before the international break. Newcastle played out a thrilling 2-2 draw at the London Stadium against West Ham, with Alexander Isak scoring a brace. However, there have been issues off the field during the international break, with Sandro Tonali likely to be unavailable for this weekend’s clash as he assists in a police investigation.

Crystal Palace have made a reliable start to the new season, and any danger that they could get sucked into the relegation scrap have been eased. The Eagles come into this fixture sitting ninth in the league standings, but they could move up to seventh if they are able to pick up victory at St. James’ Park. 

Palace have gone three without a defeat in the Premier League, and they have suffered just two defeats from their eight matches this term. However, their lack of quality in the final third was evident before the international break, as they played out a 0-0 draw against Nottingham Forest. They have scored just seven goals this term, which is the third-fewest in the division at this stage. 

Newcastle vs Crystal Palace Head to Head

Draws have been a common result in recent meetings between these sides, as three of the last four have ended level. That includes 0-0 draws in both clashes last term. However, Newcastle have won two of their previous four home matches against Palace. 

Newcastle vs Crystal Palace Prediction

This could be a testing match to call this weekend, as both Palace and Newcastle have started the season brightly. However, under 2.5 goals looks like a solid selection based on the previous four head-to-head meetings. But, the narrow preference is for Newcastle to land victory at St. James’ Park.
