>Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United Prediction & Betting Tips – 25/10/2026
Selhurst Park plays host to a fascinating mid-table clash on 25 October when Crystal Palace welcome Newcastle United in the Premier League. Both sides occupy the division's middle ground, with the Eagles sitting 13th and the Magpies 11th, separated by fine margins. Neither club can afford to drift further from the top half, making this fixture a pivotal one for momentum heading into the autumn schedule. Newcastle's commanding historical record of 33 wins in 59 meetings adds an intriguing layer, though Palace will fancy their chances on home turf.
Match Analysis
With bookmakers unable to split these two sides, Crystal Palace enter as marginal home favorites at 2.80, backed by a 100% BTTS home record and a 2.0 goals-per-game attacking average at Selhurst Park this season.
- 100% BTTS rate in all Crystal Palace home fixtures this season signals consistent goal threat.
- 2.0 goals scored per home game gives Palace genuine attacking output against a depleted Newcastle backline.
- Most recent Selhurst Park meeting ended 2-1 to Palace in April 2026, showing home resilience.
- Newcastle missing Livramento and Jaouen, with Elanga doubtful, weakening their wide attacking options significantly.
Newcastle United arrive at Selhurst Park priced at 2.30, carrying inconsistent away form (LLWLD) and a disrupted squad. Livramento and Jaouen are confirmed out, Elanga remains doubtful, and their defensive cohesion is visibly compromised.
- Newcastle's away run reads LLWLD, averaging just 1.14 points per game on the road.
- Livramento and Jaouen both sidelined; Elanga doubtful, stripping key width and creativity from Jaissle's setup.
- Newcastle concede 2.0 goals per game, mirroring Palace's home output, suggesting defensive vulnerability persists.
Key point: With both goalkeepers doubtful and Palace's 100% home BTTS record, backing both teams to score at 1.44 offers a compelling alternative to the match result market.

Our Verdict
The draw at 3.75 represents the standout value here. Both sides sit in mid-table with inconsistent form; Palace have won just two of their last five, while Newcastle's recent run of two defeats and a draw inspires little confidence. Crucially, Palace's home matches have seen both teams score in every fixture this term, averaging nearly five goals per match at Selhurst Park. That chaos breeds stalemates as much as it breeds thrillers. With the market pricing home and away wins identically, the draw looks the shrewd pick alongside both teams to score at 1.44.
