Crystal Palace - Newcastle United predictions and free betting tips [24/04/2024]

On Wednesday, the 24th of April, as part of the 29th round of the Premier League, "Crystal Palace" will host "Newcastle United" on their home ground. Eddie Howe's proteges didn't play last weekend due to the country's cup semi-finals, whereas "the Eagles" thrashed "West Ham" with a score of 5:2, setting a new club record concurrently.

Predicted Lineups

"Crystal Palace": Henderson; Clyne, Richards, Andersen; Munoz, Ahamada, Hughes, Mitchell; Olise, Mateta, Eze.
"Newcastle": Dubravka; Murphy, Krafth, Schar, Burn; Anderson, Guimaraes, Longstaff; Gordon, Isak, Barnes.

Stadium

The competition will take place in London at the Selhurst Park stadium.

"Crystal Palace"

Occupying the 14th place in the Premier League table with one game in hand and being 11 points away from the relegation zone, "Crystal Palace" needs to score just 2 points to secure their perch in the elite. After going 5 rounds without a victory (2 draws and 3 losses), Oliver Glasner's proteges delivered two stunning matches in the last weeks: first the red and blues sensationally defeated "Liverpool" at Anfield (0:1), and then thrashed "West Ham" (5:2) last weekend.

In the first half, Eberechi Eze, Michael Olise, and Emerson Palmieri scored, followed by a brace from Jean-Philippe Mateta. The last time "Palace" claimed consecutive Premier League victories was in April 2023, when they beat "Leicester", "Leeds United", and "Southampton", so the capital-based team will be highly motivated for success on Wednesday. 

"Newcastle"

"Newcastle" will definitely not see the Champions League live next year. Nonetheless, "the Magpies" occupy the 6th spot in the Premier League table and can still hope for a berth in European competitions. The Black and Whites lead Manchester United only by goal difference, but the gap is astonishing: 17 versus minus one for the "Red Devils". Despite inconsistent team results throughout the season, the guests have suffered only one defeat in the last 6 rounds, with 4 victories and 1 draw.

Last weekend, Eddie Howe's team didn't perform in the championship due to the rescheduling of the match because of the FA Cup semi-finals, whereas two weeks ago they claimed a convincing home victory against "Tottenham" with a score of 4:0: Alexander Isak scored a brace, and Anthony Gordon and Fabian Schär also found the net.

Head-to-Head Meetings

In the first half of the current campaign, "Newcastle" blew "Palace" away with a score of 4:0 at St. James' Park, thereby going six matches without a defeat against "the Eagles".

"Crystal Palace" vs "Newcastle" Match Prediction

Having rested after a ten-day break, "Newcastle" will appear in London as a completely different team compared to the worn-out "West Ham" from the Eurocup battles. Key “Magpies” players are gradually returning from injury, and the team simply cannot afford to falter - the fight for places in Europe is expected to be fierce in England. "Palace", in fact, has no real tournament tasks and is playing out the season at their own leisure. My prediction is a victory for Eddie Howe's proteges with a handicap of 0.

Total Goals Prediction

"Newcastle" has not conceded a single goal from "the Eagles" in the last five head-to-head matches, and certainly will want to continue this streak. My prediction is - the Eagles' individual total under 1 goal.

Prediction for Corners

The guests outclass their adversary and are more motivated from a tournament point of view, so they will likely monopolise the ball from the opening minutes. I bet on a triumph for the black and whites on corners.

Yellow Cards Prediction

Both teams are not known for excessive roughness on the field (on average, less than 2 yellow cards per game) hence, I bet on total warnings under 3.5.

Score Prediction

I predict the exact score to be 0:2 in favour of "Newcastle".
