Chelsea vs. Newcastle Predictions

• When: Saturday, March 14, 6:30 pm CET
• Where: Stamford Bridge, London, England

Chelsea had a tough midweek matchup in the Champions League, visiting the competition champs, PSG. For sure, this took plenty of energy from Liam Rosenior’s boys, who now have to get back in the saddle. Truth to tell, Newcastle had an exhausting matchup against Barca, only at home. The Magpies are out of the picture when it comes to the international stage, but this game means a lot for their morale.

Chelsea vs. Newcastle Preview

Chelsea

Chelsea enters this fixture with two wins in a row. After a spectacular 4-1 dismantling of Aston Villa, they had a pale performance in the FA Cup, where they defeated Wrexham on the road 2-4, only after extra time.

The Blues remain thin at the back, not only when it comes to statistics, with them allowing at least a goal in 10 of the previous 11 contests, but when it comes to injuries as well. There are many absent players for Chelsea ahead of this event.

Liam Rosenioer’s boys have been without a loss at Stamford Bridge for the past 5 games. Though they haven’t won in the last two, having back-to-back draws, against Leeds, 2-2, and Burnley, 1-1.

Newcastle

Newcastle plays incredibly exciting matches, with goals at both ends of the field. Believe it or not, the past 11 games have seen both teams score and over 2.5 hits, which is a rarity among English clubs.

They had a nice run on the road these days, but it came to an end in Manchester, where City defeated Newcastle, 2-1, on February 21. Ever since, Eddie Howe’s boys haven’t left St. James’ Park.

There are no hidden tactics or agenda in Newcastle’s playstyle. The Magpies are simply trying to outscore the rivals, and their results are mixed for the moment.

Chelsea vs Newcastle Head to Head

The first meeting of the season was on December 20, at St. James’ Park. It ended with a 2-2 tie, with Woltemade netting a brace early on, and Reecee James and Joa Pedro leveling the score in the second 45 minutes.

The Magpies have scored twice against Chelsea in 4 of the last 5 meetings.

Chelsea vs. Newcastle Predictions

Chelsea is in a tougher position because this game has more value to them than it does to Newcastle. They have to win to keep that 5th place in the EPL standings, but it won’t be easy. The Mapgies are coming to town without pressure, and we expect them to play their usual game. Therefore, we pick both teams to score and over 2.5 goals for this event.

Our verdict: Both teams to score & Over 2.5 goals
