Will the Magpies finally win two consecutive New Year’s Day games?
Newcastle United go into this clash with Crystal Palace with a strong home record, having gone ten home games unbeaten – winning eight of them. They scored at least two goals in all ten games, scoring exactly twice on nine occasions.
We are therefore betting on the Magpies to score over 1.5 goals again in our Newcastle vs. Crystal Palace tip. Palace, on the other hand, are in stable form away from home, but have suffered two of their four away defeats in the cup and league in their last two away games – in the remaining seven games, they have recorded six wins and one draw.
Newcastle goes into this match with a clearly positive trend. They have only lost one of their last eight Premier League games against Crystal Palace, and the team has recently been strong and stable in attack. The last two home games against Palace were won 4-0 and 5-0, and Newcastle has not conceded a goal in its last four home games. However, they have only kept two clean sheets in their nine PL home games so far, which is why we are betting on both teams to score in our Newcastle vs. Crystal Palace prediction at Bet365.
However, there are problems at the start of the year: Since 2011/12, the Magpies have never won two consecutive games at the start of the year – after their 2-1 win at Tottenham at the start of 2025, they have another chance this year. This was followed by a 3-1 away win at Burnley, although they have only managed to win two league games in a row once so far this season. Individual standouts include Yoane Wissa, who scored in his first league start for Newcastle and has been involved in eight goals in his last eight starts, and Bruno Guimarães, who is already enjoying his second-best Premier League season with six goals.
Crystal Palace travels to Newcastle with significant away problems. In their last four Premier League away games against the Magpies, Palace failed to score, with the last two defeats ending with a combined score of 0-9. Offensively, the record remains modest: Eddie Nketiah has scored only one goal in his last 40 Premier League away games and has been waiting north of London for another success since his first league goal in May 2019.
The defense has also been vulnerable recently, as evidenced by the 4-1 defeat in Leeds, where they conceded almost as many goals as in their first eight away games of the season combined. We are therefore betting on Newcastle vs. Crystal Palace odds for over 2.5 goals in the entire game.
Newcastle – Crystal Palace Head-to-head record
The head-to-head record favors Newcastle United overall. In 41 competitive games – including 36 Premier League matches as well as FA Cup, League Cup, and Championship fixtures – the Magpies have celebrated 20 wins, while Crystal Palace have recorded ten victories and eleven draws. The goal difference also clearly favors Newcastle: 55:32 goals underscore their historical superiority.
Newcastle – Crystal Tip
According to the Newcastle vs. Crystal Palace betting odds in the Bet365 app, the Magpies are clear favorites in the duel against the Eagles – which is hardly surprising.
They are unbeaten in ten home games, scoring at least twice in each of those games and winning the last two league games against Glasner’s team with a total score of 9-0. In addition, they have lost only one of their last eight league games against Palace and could win two games in a row for only the second time this season.
Crystal Palace, on the other hand, have lost their last two away games in a row, but have never suffered three consecutive defeats on the road this season. They have been particularly strong defensively away from home, but conceded four of their nine away goals in their last game in Leeds.
