Newcastle-Crystal Palace is a match in the ninth day of the Premier League and is played Saturday at 4 p.m.: TV, lineups, predictions.
“Newcastle is on his side.” With these words, Beppe Riso, Sandro Tonali’s attorney, hinted that the Juventus club has no intention of leaving alone the former AC Milan midfielder, who ended up in the eye of the storm for the betting affair.
For now, even the Premier League has decided to tread lightly, trying to see how the situation will evolve. In short, according to the news coming from across the Channel, it is very likely that Tonali – despite the shock was very strong – will take the field regularly on Saturday afternoon against Crystal Palace. His Newcastle, moreover, are going through a positive moment, but above all they have found the continuity that had been lacking in the first days of the championship. The Magpies have not lost since last September 2, and in this streak they have accumulated five wins and two draws. They are also performing well in the Champions League, where for now they surprisingly lead the standings of the toughest group, in which Psg, Milan and Dortmund are also present.
Before the break they had come close to another success, this time at the London Stadium against West Ham, who found the final 2-2 goal with former Ajax Kudus in the 89th minute.
Andersen of Crystal Palace
Newcastle, which is now eighth in the standings, just four points behind fourth place. It has only one point less than Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace, which has remained unbeaten in its last three games: the Eagles drew 0-0 their two home matches with Fulham and Nottingham Forest but three weeks ago made a splash at Old Trafford (0-1), exacerbating Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United crisis. Eddie Howe, Newcastle coach, may have to do without Willock and Joelinton, but on the other hand he can recover striker Isak. In Palace, on the other hand, Jefferson Lerma and Doucouré are in high doubt.
The Prediction
In the last four confrontations between these two teams only one goal has been scored. And this time, too, we imagine an unprolific match: after all, Crystal Palace scores with the dropper but also concedes very few goals. Newcastle should impose themselves by a narrow margin.
The probable lineups of Newcastle-Crystal Palace
- NEWCASTLE (4-3-3): Pope; Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn; Longstaff, Tonali, Bruno Guimaraes; Almiron, Wilson, Gordon.
- CRYSTALA PALACE (4-3-3): Johnstone; Clyne, Andersen, Guéhi, Mitchell; Hughes, Doucouré, Lerma; Ayew, Mateta, Edouard.
POSSIBLE RESULT: 1-0
