Newcastle vs. Chelsea Predictions

Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Newcastle vs. Chelsea at English Premier League

Where: St. James’ Park, Newcastle, England
When: Saturday, November 25, 4 pm CET

The Magpies have shown signs of inconsistency lately and are slowly losing the pace with the leading teams in the Premiership. This meeting will be of great importance for Eddie Howe’s boys, who have to bounce back following a pair of losses. Chelsea is on the rise; that’s the fact, and nobody can deny it. Their win here would be massive, and it would bring them closer to the upper part of the standings.

Newcastle vs. Chelsea Preview

Newcastle

After losing to Dortmund, the Magpies suffered a defeat at Bournemouth. Both of them had the exact same result, 2-0, and were on the road. And to be perfectly honest, both were unexpected.

Playing in both the Champions League and other domestic competitions is a new challenge for Newcastle and Howe, who, despite a solid roster, still need to adapt to those circumstances. Therefore, it’s not odd to see these types of oscillations.

Since the campaign began, Newcastle has played nine games at St. James’ Park, recording seven victories and only two defeats. In five of those triumphs, we’ve seen them keeping a clean sheet.

Chelsea

The Blues’ oscillations were massive, and they still are, but overall, Pochettino’s crew is improving as time goes by. The fireworks against Manchester City, 4-4, showed an extraordinary offensive talent and plenty of weakness in the back line.

Overall, the Blues have one of the best offenses in the Premier League, even without their top striker, Cristopher Nkunku, who picked up an injury before the season even started. His absence completely reshaped the entire system, putting Pochettino and the staff in a tough spot.

Chelsea has three straight victories away from home in the Premiership, netting ten goals in total during this successful streak. After beating Fulham, 0-2, they were better than Burnley and Tottenham, both 1-4.

Newcastle vs. Chelsea Head to Head

Newcastle was better in direct meetings last year, winning at home, 1-0, and managing to get out with a tie at Stamford, 1-1. We’ve seen these two crews clashing this summer in a friendly international during the US tour. That encounter concluded without winners, 1-1.

Newcastle vs. Chelsea Predictions

Newcastle’s defense has been fragile these days, and we don’t know whether the international break helped Howe in resetting his defense. Chelsea, meanwhile, will look for the slightest mistake to attack. They don’t mind too much about protecting their own goal these days, so the most logical pick here would be for both teams to score.

Our verdict: Both teams to score
