Newcastle vs Crystal Palace Predictions, Odds & Sports Betting Tips 21/10/2023

8th meets 9th on Saturday afternoon, as Newcastle and Crystal Palace clash at St James’ Park. Both sides are in good form following patchy starts to the season, so this looks like being a tight contest and one that should provide plenty of excitement. 

Before you look at the latest sports betting odds, make sure you check out our exclusive prediction. Our expert writers have looked at the recent form of both teams, as well as the key statistics relating to the match. Their tips can really help enhance your enjoyment of the game. 

These are halcyon times for Newcastle fans. Last week’s 4-1 thrashing of PSG in the Champions League will live long in the memory, and their Premier League form is suggesting that another top four push could be on the cards.

The Toon have picked up 10 points from their last four Premier League games, a run highlighted by the incredible 0-8 victory at Sheffield United. With Bruno Guimares pulling the strings in midfield and Alexander Isak in red hot goalscoring form, Newcastle are looking like a tough team to stop.

To say that Crystal Palace are experiencing injury problems is somewhat of an understatement. They are currently without as many as eight first team regulars, so manager Roy Hodgson is having to use all his experience to stop his team from slipping down the table

To his credit, Palace have been performing admirably despite the mounting injury list. They have lost just one of their last six league games, a run which includes a famous victory at Old Trafford. The Eagles will need a similar performance if they are to get anything from this tough looking tip to the North East.

Head to Head

The last three games between these sides have all ended 0-0. The last decisive result in the fixture was Newcastle’s 1-0 win in April 2022. The Toon are undefeated in their last five games against Palace and lead the overall head-to-head by 30 wins to 12.

Our Betting Tip for Today

The latest betting odds for the game have Newcastle as short as 12/25 for the win. You can get a best price of 13/2 on Crystal Palace causing an upset. The draw can be backed at 18/5.

We are going with the bookies for our betting bonus tip. Palace have performed well recently, but sooner or later their injuries are going to catch up with them. A visit to in-form Newcastle looks an extremely stiff challenge for Roy Hodgson’s men. The Toon are playing some superb football at the minute and will be looking to exploit their injury ravaged opponents. As such, it’s hard to see anything other than a home win here.
