Crystal Palace vs Newcastle Prediction: 30/11/2024

Crystal Palace will be missing several key players for their upcoming match, including regulars Lerma and Wharton, forward Nketiah, defenders Riad (rookie) and Holding (substitute), and long-term absentee Matheus França. In addition, Japan’s Kamada is suspended, and England’s Eze is doubtful due to injury, with his participation expected to be a close call. On a positive note, midfielder Will Hughes returns from suspension. Former Lyon player Mateta, who has scored 3 Premier League goals, may step in to lead the attack.

Newcastle, meanwhile, will be without long-term injured defenders Lascelles and Botman, as well as backup defender Krafth. Additionally, starting defender Burn is suspended for this match. However, key players like Trippier in defense and forward Wilson are hopeful of returning. Swedish international Isak (4 goals and 2 assists in PL) remains a crucial figure for the team, along with winger Gordon (2 goals in PL). In midfield, Bruno Guimarães and Tonali are expected to start, with winger Barnes (4 goals in PL) continuing his solid performances.

Prediction

Both teams have been prone to draws in recent games, with Newcastle having drawn four of their last five matches in the Premier League. Crystal Palace has also shared the points in four of their last seven games. Given their form, a narrow victory for Newcastle seems likely.

Prediction: Crystal Palace 0 – 1 Newcastle
