Crystal Palace vs. Newcastle: The Underdogs’ Battle
Crystal Palace will host Newcastle at Selhurst Park this Saturday, aiming to pull off a major upset in Match Day 13 of the English Premier League (EPL). Despite their underdog status, the Eagles will look to capitalize on Newcastle’s recent slip-up against West Ham.
Crystal Palace: Fighting to Rise
Crystal Palace comes into this game after a spirited 2-2 draw with Aston Villa. However, the season has been challenging for the Eagles, as they sit near the bottom of the EPL table with only eight points from 12 matches.
Their performance has been inconsistent, including a goalless draw against Manchester United in their season opener. Adding to their woes, key players like Matheus Franca and Rob Holding are sidelined due to injuries.

Newcastle: Bouncing Back
Newcastle, managed by Eddie Howe, is determined to regain momentum after a 2-0 defeat to West Ham. Although they’ve shown strong form in recent weeks, including eliminating Chelsea from the EFL Cup, inconsistency in away games has been their Achilles’ heel.
Their away record this season reads 8 points, 8 goals scored, and 8 goals conceded. Injuries to Sven Botman, Emil Krafth, and Jamaal Lascelles further complicate Newcastle’s preparations.
