Match summary

Crystal Palace vs Newcastle United meet at Selhurst Park on Sunday 25 October 2026 in Matchday 8 of the Premier League, and our model goes with a home win; the double chance rules out the draw.

Why this pick?

Our model goes with a Crystal Palace win, and the main reason is the home setting at Selhurst Park. It helps that Newcastle's attacking play has been short of threat: over the last five matches their shot count sits below the league average and the clear chances they create are clearly down on it. The strongest point the other way is that Newcastle still rate slightly higher on our long-run strength rating, and Palace's own attacking numbers are ordinary at best. What carries the pick is the venue and a Newcastle side that is not hurting opponents in the box. Even so, the call is narrow.

Both teams to score: Our model expects goals at both ends. Palace have conceded 17 in seven league matches and give up clear chances at a rate clearly above the league average, so their games keep offering the opposition a way through.
