Crystal Palace will be hoping that their trip to Turkiye in midweek won't lead to tired legs on Sunday when they play host to Newcastle in the Premier League.
The Magpies arrive in the capital on the back of three defeats in their last four league games, but will be hopeful of a more positive outcome this weekend as the Eagles were thrashed 5-0 by Brighton last time out.
We have high hopes for plenty of goalmouth action in Sunday's encounter as two of the last three league meetings between the pair have produced over 2.5 goals, including Palace's 2-1 win over Newcastle at Selhurst Park back in April.
An amazing nine of Palace's opening 11 matches across all competitions have ended with at least three goals being scored, and that included each of their last four fixtures against Nottingham Forest, Lyon, Brighton and Besiktas.
Newcastle have only played nine games in league and cup this season, but six of those fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals, and that includes each of their last two away games in the Premier League.
As well as goals in the capital, we are expecting a few bookings. Newcastle have picked up an astonishing 19 yellow cards in their opening seven league games so far this season. To put that into context, their hosts this weekend, Crystal Palace, have only received a total of 10 bookings.
With seven games played, Newcastle are averaging 2.71 bookings per match this season, and we're predicting over 2.5 cards being shown to the visitors this Sunday.
Crystal Palace 2-2 Newcastle
