Selhurst Park will host an intriguing Premier League clash between Crystal Palace and Newcastle United, with both sides aiming to bounce back in style. As both sides are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach, we predict a 2-2 draw. Palace will be boosted by the return of first-choice goalkeeper Dean Henderson, who is set to start after recovering from illness, adding stability to a defence that concedes just 0.80 goals per game. The Eagles have been solid overall (1.80 points per game), keeping clean sheets in 50% of their last 10 matches, though they failed to score in 40% of their home games.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are looking to respond to a disappointing 2-1 derby defeat to Sunderland, but they remain without key midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and defender Fabian Schar. The Magpies’ matches are typically action-packed, averaging 4.20 total goals per game, with a massive 90% BTTS rate. They score 2.00 goals per game but concede 2.20, showing clear defensive vulnerabilities. With Palace organized and Newcastle explosive but leaky, this matchup promises an interesting tactical battle.
As Newcastle games are very open (90% BTTS), we are tempted to place our bets on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Draw (small stake).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 12 April 2026 at 14:00.
