Premier League: Chelsea vs Newcastle Utd

Chelsea vs Newcastle Utd Betting Tip and Predictions. In the last Saturday’s match of Round 26 in Premier League, Chelsea take on Newcastle Utd. Read below betting preview, useful info and predictions for the match between Chelsea vs Newcastle United.

Chelsea stand in the middle of the table with “only” 30 points after 25 matches this season in Premier League. They still believe that can finish the season in the top 6. Home team have 9 points less than 6th team – West Ham United, and that position is reachable, but Chelsea FC are closer to the relegation zone in this moment that to Top 6 teams. After Guus Hiddink replaced José Mourinho, Chelsea are still unbeaten, but they have played many matches which were finished without winner. This match is very important for home side, but maybe the more important for them is game against PSG on Tuesday in the 1/8 finals of the UEFA Champions League. Big blow for Chelsea is the injury of their defender Kurt Zouma, who picked up an injury in the last match against Manchester United and is expected to be out for approximately six months.

Newcastle Utd escaped the relegation zone last week after they beat West Brom 1-0, so they want another positive result at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea. I have already wrote about Newcastle United this season and I still believe that they deserve better position on the table. They have very quality players (same story as their opponent), but both teams don’t have results. Visitors have one of the worst defences in Premier League and that is their main problem this season. In the first half of the season, the match between Newcastle Utd vs Chelsea was finished without winner 2-2.

Chelsea vs Newcastle Utd injuries and suspensions

Home side miss Kurt Zouma, while Diego Costa suffering a broken nose on Thursday, but he should be available for this game. Visitors will be without Paul Dummett and Massadio Haidara, while Jack Colback, Jamaal Lascelles and Emmanuel Riviere are all back in the squad and will be in contention.

Chelsea vs Newcastle Utd possible lineups

Chelsea: Courtois, Azpilicueta, Ivanovic, Terry, Cahill, Mikel, Fabregas, Hazard, Willian, Oscar, Diego Costa.
Newcastle Utd: Elliot; Janmaat, Taylor, Coloccini, Aarons; Shelvey, Colback, Sissoko, Wijnaldum, Townsend; Mitrovic.

Chelsea vs Newcastle Utd Prediction

Home team have improved their performance, but they still have problems in the attack and don’t score many goals. Visitors are full of confidence after last week win and they will do their best in order to make another positive result. Without any doubt, Chelsea are favorites to win this game, but I can’t underestimate visitors. I expect an interesting match between Chelsea vs Newcastle United and 2 or 3 goals.

Chelsea vs Newcastle Utd Betting Tip: 2 or 3 goals @ 2.05 (Bet365)
