Crystal Palace: Struggling, but Signs of Hope

Despite winning just one Premier League match this season, Crystal Palace have picked up points in three of their last four games. Last weekend, they led 1-0 and 2-1 against Aston Villa but had to settle for a draw after Dean Henderson heroically saved a penalty from Youri Tielemans.

With only 8 points from their first 12 matches, this is Palace’s worst start since 2018. Offensively, they’ve struggled, scoring just three goals at Selhurst Park – the lowest tally in the league. However, the expected return of Eberechi Eze this weekend could breathe new life into their attack. Adam Wharton and Eddie Nketiah remain sidelined.

Newcastle: Consistency Still Elusive

After impressive wins over Arsenal and Nottingham Forest, Newcastle seemed to have found their rhythm. However, Monday’s home loss to West Ham showed lingering vulnerabilities. Despite dominating possession, they squandered multiple chances, with Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak missing clear opportunities.

Newcastle have only won two of their last eight league matches, although they remain one of two teams (alongside Liverpool) yet to drop points after taking the lead. Bruno Guimaraes and Joe Willock are doubtful for this clash, while Dan Burn is back from suspension.

Betting Tip: Home Win (H) – Draw No Bet

Why:

• Palace have been resilient lately, earning points in three of their last four matches.
• The return of Eberechi Eze transforms their midfield and adds much-needed creativity.
• Newcastle’s inconsistent form and potential midfield absences (Guimaraes and Willock) could play to Palace’s advantage.

We’re placing 3 units on Home Win (Draw No Bet) with Betsson.
