Chelsea vs. Newcastle Predictions

• Where: Stamford Bridge, London, England
• When: Sunday, May 28, 6:30 pm CET

The Blues are having a nightmarish season, and hope to end it as soon as possible. Frank Lampard is trying to stabilize the team and close this campaign before heading elsewhere in search of a new job. On the other side is Newcastle, who is in the UEFA Champions League. The Magpies were excellent throughout the year, and now go to another level, probably after a huge shopping spree this summer.

Chelsea vs. Newcastle Predictions

Chelsea

The Blues had a tough game during the midweek against Manchester United and is now finally back home from Manchester following back-to-back clashes against the teams from this City. 

Lampard’s unit has not won at Stamford Bridge for the past seven events. That is one humiliating fact for the two-time European champs, who lost four of those seven contests. In six of them, the Blues conceded at least twice, which indicates massive problems in the back line.

The team is falling apart in every line, and to be honest, Lampard’s job isn’t easy at all. He was practically given an impossible task upon the arrival and Graham Potter’s sack – to pull the team out of the hole.

Newcastle

The Magpies are in the Champions League, and that’s a massive success. This team didn’t spend much money on players during the previous summer, even though they had unlimited resources. Eddie Howe made a compact unit, very tough, with one of the best defenses in Europe when playing at home.

For the moment, City is the only team in the Premier League that could be in the same sentence as Newcastle regarding defense. Though, as stated, that applies to games at St. James’ Park.

In the previous nine contests away from Newcastle, the Magpies conceded a goal in each. They did win a lot of games during that span, yet the reason wasn’t the defense.

Chelsea vs. Newcastle Head to Head

The Magpies won the first meeting of the year at home, 1-0. It was the first victory for Newcastle over Chelsea after four straight losses. The previous seven events all saw just one side netting, and six ended with under 2.5 hits.

Chelsea vs. Newcastle Predictions

This should be a low-intensity event, with both teams not having some particular motive to push hard and go for the win. Still, the respective defenses aren’t that formidable, and we should see goals on both ends despite the tradition in recent contests.

Our verdict: Both teams to score
