In one of the matches of the English Championship, the players of Crystal Palace and Newcastle will come face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this match.
Crystal Palace
The home team is at the bottom of the standings. Now the Eagles have eight points in 8 matches. In the previous three games, the Londoners drew twice. It is worth noting that the glaziers have not been able to win for more than a month, which indicates the poor form of the team. In eight matches, the Eagles scored 10 goals. At the same time, the team conceded 13 goals in its own goal. Crystal Palace broke away from the relegation zone by five points, but such a reserve cannot guarantee the team a quiet life in the coming rounds.
Newcastle
The Magpies have failed the start of this season. After 8 rounds, the guest team is on the 19th line in the standings, having 3 points to its credit. However, now there are the least thoughts about this in the team. The week before last, Newcastle was taken over by a consortium from Saudi Arabia. In terms of the new owners, create a combat-ready team from the "forty", which will be able to compete for the championship title with the best teams of the NPL. It is worth noting that Newcastle have not won a single victory so far. So far, the team can only boast draws with Southampton, Leeds and Watford.
