Newcastle’s Champions League aspirations were dented on Monday following a shock defeat at St. James’ Park against West Ham.
However, Eddie Howe’s side will have the opportunity to get back on track when they visit Selhurst Park in the Premier League on Saturday.
Oliver Glasner’s Palace come into the round sitting second bottom in the standings after failing to win in their last three. But, plenty of positives would have been taken from their battling draw at Aston Villa last weekend.
Odds
Despite a recent defeat, Newcastle will be preferred at +138 to bounce back to winning ways. Crystal Palace are priced up at +200 to claim maximum points on Saturday.
| Match Result | Odds |
|---|---|
| Crystal Palace | +200 |
| Draw | +255 |
