Chelsea gets an interesting matchup here this Saturday as they go on the road to St James’ Park for a game with Newcastle. Chelsea have been much better as of late, but this does seem like your typical ”spot” game where a young team could slip up on the road.
Chelsea
Chelsea did go through a bit of a mid-season blip there about a month or so ago, but they are now 3-1-0 in their last 4 games and seems to have found top form once again. Their last game against Burnley was extremely impressive, and although it was not against the best team in the world, it was a very comprehensive win from start to finish.

They fired off 18 shots in that game and had 66% of the ball possession and they will be looking to do something similar, albeit on the road, against a Newcastle side who has been average this year at best. The main goalscorer in this match should be Tammy Abraham who has been an incredible find for Chelsea and he now has 13 goals on the season and will look to build on those numbers this Saturday.
Newcastle
Newcastle’s season can be best described as average, as they sit mid table in 13th with a record of 7-5-10. Newcastle try to play a defensive style of football, but it does not seem to be working as this team has already given up 34 goals in just 22 games.
It has been particularly bad in recent times for The Magpies, as they do not have a win in their last 4 games. Newcastle’s last EPL game was a very lucky 1-1 road draw against Wolverhampton in a game they were thoroughly outplayed and needed to score on the one shot on goal they had for the entire game.
If Newcastle are to get on the scoreboard here my money would be on Dwight Gayle who was an excellent Championship level striker and he has been getting the starts up top in Newcastle’s 5-4-1 formation.
Free Chelsea vs Newcastle EPL Prediction:
I do have a sneaky suspicion that Chelsea will fall flat here,as Newcastle is just that type of team who can take advantage of your errors if you do not bring your A game. Newcastle never seems to manage much offense, but whatever offense they do create they seem to capitalize on.
This is a bit of a flyer and a hunch pick, so I wouldn’t go crazy with it, but that +500 price for the home team is tempting. It is also really hard to argue for the other side,as I don’t see a great reason why such a young team should be priced so low in a road spot like this, despite Newcastle’s average performances this year.
