Who Will Win? Newcastle Lead The Head-To-Head Case
Newcastle United rate a real chance to claim all three points away from home. The Magpies are coming off a convincing 2–0 victory against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday, 30 August, which followed a hard-fought 2–2 home draw against Liverpool. Holding four points with a +2 goal differential (four scored, two conceded), Newcastle's start provides plenty of confidence.
In head-to-head betting markets, Newcastle United sit at 2.25 after their price went 2.3→2.25 (firmed). Meanwhile, the draw has drifted with 3.6→3.7 (drifted), leaving Crystal Palace available at 2.75.
Crystal Palace are desperate to turn their form around after a tough start to the season (0-0-2). The Eagles' most recent result was a 1–4 defeat at home to Manchester City on Saturday, 29 August, following a 0–2 loss away to Everton. Facing an undefeated Newcastle team represents a significant test for a Palace outfit that has conceded six goals across two matches while scoring just once.
