Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Best Bet
20:00GMT
London
Selhurst Park
On April 24, 2024, we will have a very interesting game between Crystal Palace and Newcastle. Crystal Palace are currently sitting in 14th spot in the Premier League. They have nothing to lose, so they are just looking to improve their record. Newcastle are 6th seed, with the exact same points as Manchester United. They are 10 points behind Tottenham and 2 points above West Ham. It is unrealistic to expect them to get that 5th spot that would lead them into the Europa League next season, but they will surely give their best.

Current Form
Crystal Palace have won their last two games. With those two huge wins, the Eagles are safe from relegation. Ten days ago, the Eagles won against Liverpool 1-0 at Anfield. This was their biggest win of the season. Liverpool are now three points behind Arsenal because of that loss. After that big win against Liverpool, Crystal Palace won last week against West Ham 5-2. After just 31 minutes, the Eagles were up 4-0. Olivier Glasner is their new manager, and since he came to the bench, they have improved drastically. They have 3 wins, 2 draws and only 3 losses with him on the bench. It is worth mentioning that the Eagles have scored at least once in their last five home games. They are 11 points clear of relegation right now and are probably planning for the next season already.
Newcastle United have won three of their last five games. They are currently sitting in 6th spot, with 10 points behind Tottenham. It seems like their Champions League qualification is not looking realistic at the moment. However, they are still fighting for the Europa League or Europa Conference League spots. That being said, they still have a lot to play for. Newcastle won their last two games against Fulham and Tottenham. The last played was 11 days ago, against Tottenham. Eddie Howe’s side won 4-0, and absolutely dominated against Tottenham. It is not mentioning that Newcastle have kept a clean sheet in their last five games against Crystal Palace. Having such a long break from playing will help them a lot, since they are struggling a lot with the injuries. Alexander Isak is their top scorer, and we expect him to score tonight yet again. Newcastle loves to play attacking football, and they are always fun to watch. If they did not have so many injuries, we believe that they would be fighting for the Champions League spot this season.
Best Bet to Make
According to the bookies, Newcastle are slight favorites for this matchup. The last time Crystal Palace and Newcastle played against each other was last year in October. Newcastle absolutely dominated against the Eagles, and we actually expect a similar game tonight as well.
That being said, Newcastle winning is a value bet.
