Featured Tip from James Bartman

Pick Details

Sport / league:: EPL
Event / fixture:: Crystal Palace vs. Newcastle
Event date: Sun, 12 Apr 2026 at 11:00 PM
Market:: Asian Handicap
Tip:: Newcastle +0.5 @ 1.46 (Betfair)

This is bet is based primarily on circumstances. Crystal Palace are into the quarter-finals of a European football tournament for the first time in the club’s history. They play midweek UEFA Conference League fixtures against Fiorentina both before and after this game, while Newcastle have no midweek commitments. Newcastle haven’t won at Selhurst Park since 2020 and they have only won four away games this season, so I will play it safe and take Newcastle in the handicap rather than the head-to-head. Palace have only won three home games this season, so I’m confident that Newcastle can avoid defeat, especially given Palace’s European circumstances.
