Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Prediction & Preview - Premier League

·3 min read·By

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United prediction, form and team news ahead of the Premier League match at Selhurst Park on Sunday 25 October 2026.

Seven points from six matches, won two, drawn one, lost three. That is Crystal Palace's recent record, and it is also Newcastle United's, line for line, before the two meet in the Premier League at Selhurst Park in south London on Sunday 25 October 2026.

Identical on paper. Not remotely identical to watch.

What time is kick-off for Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United?

Crystal Palace v Newcastle United kicks off at 14:00 GMT on Sunday, 25 October 2026 at Selhurst Park in London. It is a Premier League fixture, with Crystal Palace at home to Newcastle United.

Same seven points, different shape

Dig past the matching record and the two sides have been failing in opposite directions. Crystal Palace have scored nine and conceded eleven in those six games; Newcastle have scored seven and conceded twelve. Palace have kept two clean sheets to Newcastle's one, and have gone past two goals more often, reaching two or more in three of six against Newcastle's two of six.

Palace's problem is the swing. A 4-0 win at home to Lech Poznań, a 3-1 win at home to Nottingham Forest, then 0-5 away at Brighton & Hove Albion seven days before this match. Three of their six ended without a Palace goal at all.

Newcastle have been steadier and worse. They were beaten 0-1 at home by Aston Villa eight days before this fixture and 1-4 away at Coventry City five days before that, and both sides scored in four of their six - a side that keeps turning up, keeps scoring once, keeps leaking.

Then the split that actually matters here. Crystal Palace have won two of their three home games. Away from Selhurst Park they have won none of three. Newcastle, for their part, have won one of three on the road, and the two away league games in that run finished 1-4 and 1-4.

So the symmetry holds in the table and breaks on the day. Palace are a decent home team in poor overall form. Newcastle are a poor away team in the same poor overall form.

The last Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United meeting

Crystal Palace beat Newcastle United 2-1 at Selhurst Park on 12 April 2026 in the Premier League, 196 days before this one. Palace were at home then too, and the pattern of that afternoon - Palace scoring twice, Newcastle getting one back - is close to what both sides' numbers point at again.

Team news for Crystal Palace and Newcastle United

Oliver Glasner is without Chadi Riad, out with a knee injury, while Axel Disasi served the last of a three-match suspension at Brighton, and Dean Henderson (foot), Jean-Philippe Mateta, Ben Chilwell and Takehiro Tomiyasu were all listed as doubts last week, per Sports Mole. Matthias Jaissle has been missing Anthony Elanga, Jacob Ramsey and Tino Livramento, with Elanga and Ramsey expected back in training this week and Livramento a fortnight or so further off, though Joelinton, Dan Burn and Amar Dedic are available again, according to GiveMeSport. Ewen Jaouen is out for around two months with a hamstring injury, NUFC The Mag reported.

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United prediction

Our prediction is a Crystal Palace win over Newcastle United in this Premier League match at Selhurst Park, by 2-1. Palace have won two of their three home matches while Newcastle have taken one win from three away, and the only previous meeting in this run of form went the same way, 2-1 to Palace at home in April.

The counter is obvious: a side beaten 0-5 at Brighton a week earlier has no business being trusted. But Newcastle have conceded twelve in six and both sides have scored in four of their six, which is not the profile of a team that wins quietly in south London.

Our prediction: Crystal Palace 2-1 Newcastle United
