Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace Odds

Date: 16/04/25
Kick-off time: 19:30
Venue: St James’ Park

St James’ Park will host a vital Premier League encounter on Wednesday evening. Eddie Howe’s Newcastle continue their hunt for European qualification, while Oliver Glasner’s Crystal Palace aim to consolidate their position in mid-table. The Magpies’ impressive home record faces a stiff test against an unpredictable Eagles side.

Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace Team News

Newcastle v Crystal Palace team news brings a tale of two clubs with differing motivations. The Magpies will rely on their consistency at home and attacking prowess to keep their Champions League hopes alive. With 53 points from 31 games, Eddie Howe’s side currently sit fourth in the table and have developed a fluid attacking style that has seen them net 56 times against teams ranked below them in the league.

Crystal Palace, positioned 12th with 43 points, will look to bounce back after a bruising 5-2 defeat to Manchester City. Glasner’s side have proven difficult to beat on the road, earning 6 wins and 5 draws in 15 away outings. They’ve managed 6 clean sheets away from home and have netted 22 goals on their travels. The manager may shuffle the pack slightly following the heavy defeat but is expected to stick to his counter-attacking blueprint, which has brought success in key matches this season.

Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace Betting Tips

Newcastle v Crystal Palace betting tips start with a strong lean towards a home win for the Magpies. With a formidable record at St James’ Park—9 wins, 2 draws and 4 defeats—Howe’s side are dependable when playing in front of their fans. This, coupled with their urgency to maintain a top-four finish, makes a Newcastle victory the most likely outcome.

However, both teams scoring also appears to be a valuable market. Palace have scored in 13 of their 15 away fixtures, while Newcastle have conceded in 10 of their 15 home games. Their recent head-to-head clashes support this view, including the 1-1 draw earlier this season. Given their attacking outputs and vulnerabilities in transition, both defences are likely to be breached.

A handicap market in favour of Newcastle -1 could yield higher value for punters seeking boosted returns, especially considering Newcastle’s recent 3-0 win away at Leicester and their dominant displays at home.

Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace Match Predictions

Newcastle v Crystal Palace prediction points to a home win. Newcastle’s blend of attacking cohesion, home form, and current momentum gives them the edge. With a better goal difference, stronger form against lower-ranked teams, and the leadership of Eddie Howe on the touchline, they should have enough to overpower Palace.

Crystal Palace will offer resistance, especially given their resilience away from home. But the psychological advantage of playing at St James’ Park, coupled with Newcastle’s urgency in chasing European football, is expected to tip the balance in favour of the hosts.

Match Prediction: Newcastle to win. Bet with bet365.

Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace Correct Score Tips & Prediction

Newcastle v Crystal Palace score prediction leans toward a 2-1 victory for the home side. This scoreline reflects the attacking strength of Newcastle while acknowledging Palace’s potential to strike on the counter. Isak’s prolific form and Palace’s recent defensive lapse against Manchester City support this prediction.

Historically, the fixture has been relatively tight, but Newcastle’s current trajectory and goal-scoring form make a two-goal return plausible. Palace’s ability to break quickly and exploit gaps in midfield may reward them with a consolation goal.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Newcastle. Bet with bet365.

Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Newcastle v Crystal Palace Over/Under goals prediction is best approached by backing over 2.5 goals. Newcastle’s home games have seen 49 goals across 15 matches, averaging over 3 per match. Palace’s away matches are similarly open, with 39 total goals from 15 games.

With both sides exhibiting strong attacking instincts and tactical freedom under Howe and Glasner respectively, the likelihood of an open contest is high. The over 2.5 goals market stands out as a valuable selection for punters seeking consistent returns from high-scoring matchups.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Newcastle United vs Crystal Palace Bet Builder Tip

For a comprehensive, Newcastle v Crystal Palace Bet Builder tip, consider combining Alexander Isak to score anytime, Newcastle United to win, and both teams to score.

Isak’s tally of 20 goals this season, including several at home, makes him an obvious anytime scorer selection. Backing a home win adds security given Newcastle’s dominant record at St James’ Park, and including both teams to score capitalises on Palace’s proven ability to find the net away from home.

Bet Builder Tip: Alexander Isak to score anytime, Newcastle United to win, and both teams to score. Bet with bet365.
