Newcastle - Chelsea: betting tip and bets with odds of 2.55

Current form

In March and April, Newcastle had an impressive five-match winning streak in the Premier League and even rose to the top three for a while. Plus, there was a 2-1 victory over Liverpool in the League Cup final during the same period. However, recently the results have been somewhat declining. In the previous three rounds, the Magpies beat only Ipswich (3-0). Aston Villa suffered a complete setback – a 1-4 defeat away. In addition, they failed to defeat Brighton on the road, which is far from being at its peak (1-1). As a result, after 35 rounds, Newcastle is in fourth place with 63 points, the same number of points as today's opponent.

Eddie Howe's men had defensive problems. Brighton were allowed to land only two shots on goal, but one of them was accurate. The end of the meeting with Aston Villa was completely ruined when the opponent actually scored three goals in ten minutes in the second half.

The home field factor is important for Newcastle. At their stadium, the Magpies in the Premier League are currently on a five-match winning streak, with Crystal Palace (5-0) and Ipswich (3-0) defeated in the last two matches.

Disqualifications and injuries

Hall, Joel Clinton, Targett and Lascelles will miss the upcoming match. Entering the field of Cher is questionable.

Current form

Chelsea has been successfully fighting for a place in the top 5 throughout the season, and does not allow itself to have a long series of failures. At the moment, closer to the end of the tournament, the Londoners have given out a winless streak of six matches in the Premier League and are approaching the upcoming game in fifth place in the table, having an equal number of points with the upcoming opponent. Moreover, taking into account the Conference League, the Aristocrats have a five-match winning streak right now.

As expected, Chelsea easily reached the semifinals of the third most important European club tournament, the Swedish Djurgården (two wins with a score of 4:1 away and 1:0 at home). At the same time, Enzo Maresca habitually rotated the squad, there is definitely no need to talk about the fatigue of the leaders.

In the Premier League, Chelsea met Liverpool at home in the previous round and won a 3-1 landslide victory over the early champions. The aristocrats created much more scoring chances in that match than the opponent, there were no problems with the implementation. We should also mention reliable defensive actions: the Merseysiders scored only two shots on target. It's clear that Liverpool didn't have much motivation, but still, such a victory can add confidence to Chelsea's players.

Disqualifications and injuries

Anselmino, Kelliman, U. Fofana, D. Fofana and Nkunku will not play due to injuries. Entering the Giu field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• In four consecutive matches, Chelsea has won in the first half.
• In six of the eight previous matches of the aristocrats in the Premier League, more than three goals were not scored.
• Chelsea had lost by offside in six of their previous eight matches.

Approximate composition: Sanchez–Caicedo, Colville, Chalobah, Cucurella–Fernandez, Lavia–Madueke, Palmer, Neto–Jackson.
