Head-to-head statistics Newcastle - Crystal Palace
Newcastle United Team Overview
Newcastle continue to delight their fans with attacking football and consistent results. The team sits in 4th place in the standings, showcasing an exciting style of play with a focus on offense - averaging 1.81 goals per match. Recent successes have solidified their position among the league's leaders. However, their defense occasionally falters: at home, they have conceded in almost every recent match, yet they remain competitive thanks to a strong attack. Their last head-to-head with Crystal Palace ended in a 1-1 draw.
Last weekend, Newcastle secured a convincing 4-1 victory over Manchester United. This winning streak has propelled them into the top four, strengthening their bid for a Champions League spot. However, the team faces temporary challenges: head coach Eddie Howe has been hospitalized with pneumonia and will miss upcoming matches, including the next fixture. This could impact the hosts' performance.
Moreover, Newcastle are dealing with personnel issues, particularly in defense. Jamaal Lascelles is out until the end of May with an ACL injury, while Sven Botman is recovering from a knee injury and won't return until early May. Lewis Hall is also sidelined with an ankle injury, out until the end of June, and Joseph Willock's participation is uncertain due to a recent concussion. This list of absentees limits the coaching staff's rotation options and affects squad depth.
Match Results: Newcastle United
Crystal Palace Team Overview
Crystal Palace have been in decent form in recent weeks, winning seven of their last ten matches and currently sitting 12th in the Premier League. The Eagles have impressed on the road, thanks to a solid defense and effective counter-attacking play, often surprising their opponents. They've lost just once in their last eleven away games, highlighting their resilience. While their focus is primarily on defense, they capitalize well on scoring opportunities.
Despite having slim chances of qualifying for European competitions and no threat of relegation, the Eagles continue to play competitively and clearly aim to finish the season on a high note. In the previous round, they started strong against Manchester City, scoring two quick goals, but couldn't maintain the desired result (2-5).
In terms of squad depth, the club faces more long-term challenges than Newcastle. Chadi Riad is sidelined with a knee injury until early January 2026, and Cheick Oumar Doucouré will be unavailable until August for the same reason. Romain Esse's participation is also doubtful due to illness. These absences significantly impact the squad and limit options in key areas.

Editor's Prediction
The upcoming clash between Newcastle and Crystal Palace promises to be a low-scoring affair. In Newcastle's last seven matches, the total has stayed under 3.5 goals six times. Similarly, in Crystal Palace's last 12 out of 14 Premier League games, fewer than four goals have been scored. Given the current form of both teams and their cautious approach to games, betting on under 3.5 goals seems like a well-founded prediction.
