Newcastle – Chelsea : Preview & Prediction
Newcastle has grabbed the headlines lately thanks to its takeover. But on the pitch it’s a whole different story for the moment, as the club haven’t won a single game this season, and are 19th in the English league, 3 points behind the first non-relegation. Nothing has been done yet, but it will finally take some success to get out of this difficult period and not get bogged down in the bottom of the standings.
Chelsea remain on 3 consecutive league victories and 5 consecutive victories, including one on penalties on Wednesday night against Southampton in the round of 16 of the League Cup. Deprived of Lukaku, injured, Chelsea still have the margin and for example inflicted a 7-0 to Norwich last weekend. More leaders than ever, the Blues will have to take at least one point during this trip, and especially not to offer their first victory to the Magpies.
Newcastle is 19th in the Premier League.
Newcastle have a record of 4 draws and 6 losses this year.
The “over 1.5” prediction has been made in the last 7 Magpies games.
Chelsea are Premier League leaders.
Chelsea have a record of 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses this year.
The “over 1.5” prediction has been made in the Blues’ last 3 games.
Newcastle, who have yet to win a game this season, are not having a good season at all and find themselves in the red zone. This game against Chelsea, leader and only defeated twice in 15 games this year, should be complicated. Chelsea should come back from their trip with a result. Chelsea win or draw and over 1.5!
