Crystal Palace Lack Defensive Quality

Crystal Palace have conceded 22 goals in 11 matches in all competitions this season. The Eagles have shipped a league-high of 17 goals in the Premier League.

Pierre Sage’s outfit have been high-scoring since the international break. They returned with a 3-1 home win over Nottingham Forest and a 3-2 loss at Lyon, allowing over 2 XG in both games.

Palace were also thrashed 5-0 at rivals Brighton on Sunday. Sage’s side trailed 3-0 after 10 minutes and conceded twice in the second period.

The south Londoners had another high-scorer in the Europa League and drew 2-2 at Besiktas. The Eagles conceded in the first half, Jean Philippe Mateta and Yeremy Pino hit back, and Palace shipped a late second.

Newcastle Struggle to Keep the Goals Out

Matthias Jaissle’s Newcastle are also leaky this season and have conceded 14 league goals in seven fixtures. The Toon have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five Premier League matches.

Newcastle have had heavy 4-1 losses in their previous two away games at Leeds and Coventry. The north east outfit faced 12 total shots on target across those two fixtures.

The Magpies lost their third game in four on Saturday following a 1-0 home defeat to Aston Villa. Jaissle’s team conceded on 36 minutes, allowed 1.57 XG and faced 15 shots.

Predicted Starting Lineups & Team News

Defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is ruled out and midfielder Quinten Timber is an injury doubt. Striker Jorgen Strand Larsen came off injured against Besiktas and could miss out against Newcastle.

“Dean started to train with the team on Monday, so we will see this weekend if he's able to play.”

Newcastle (4-2-3-1): Lukas Hornicek; Lewis Miley, Malick Thiaw, Dan Burn, Lewis Hall; Joelinton, Nico Gonzalez; Matias Fernandez-Pardo, Joe Willock, Harvey Barnes; Yoane Wissa

Crystal Palace v Newcastle

Crystal Palace and Newcastle have two of the worst defences in the 2026/27 Premier League. These sides are wide open and BTTS and over 2.5 goals have good value.
