Crystal Palace host Newcastle in a Premier League clash, with both teams showing inconsistency but the hosts entering in slightly better form.
Prediction: Double Chance - Crystal Palace or Draw (1X)
Crystal Palace’s improved form and Newcastle’s inconsistent away performances suggest the hosts are likely to avoid defeat.
Crystal Palace come into this match unbeaten in their last five matches across all competitions and boosted confidence with a convincing 3-0 win over Fiorentina in the Conference League. Defensively, Palace have been particularly impressive, keeping five consecutive clean sheets at home. However, their Premier League home record remains modest, with just three wins from fifteen home matches this season.
Newcastle, meanwhile, suffered a disappointing home defeat to Sunderland in the last round but previously managed an impressive 1-0 away victory over Chelsea. Despite that result, their away form overall has been inconsistent, and they have struggled for consistency with six defeats in their last nine league matches.
