Newcastle United F.C. vs Crystal Palace F.C. Prediction 16 April 2025

Newcastle are in strong form heading into the final stretch of the season, currently sitting fourth in the table with 56 points and a goal difference of 56:40. Despite a flat 0:2 loss to Liverpool, the Magpies bounced back in impressive fashion, securing consecutive victories over West Ham (1:0), Brentford (2:1), Leicester (3:0), and most notably, Manchester United (4:1).

Crystal Palace, meanwhile, have had a more mixed run. They recorded solid wins against Aston Villa (4:1), Ipswich (1:0), and Brighton (2:1), along with a 1:1 draw against Southampton. However, a heavy 2:5 defeat to Manchester City exposed their defensive frailties. With 43 points and a nearly even goal tally of 41:40, the Eagles currently occupy 12th place in the table.

Given Newcastle’s dominant home form and momentum, especially against higher-tier opposition, they appear the clear favorites here. Crystal Palace have struggled away from home for much of the season, and it’s difficult to see them containing Newcastle’s attacking threat. A home win looks the most likely outcome in this matchup.
