Chelsea vs Newcastle Preview, Predictions, and Recommendations for Wagers
Match Preview:
Chelsea face Newcastle in the English Premier League on Sunday. The Londoners boast a strong record at Stamford Bridge, where they've won 11 of their last 16 league fixtures. Meanwhile, the Magpies have suffered defeat in 11 of their last 13 away games against Chelsea.
Chelsea's Recent Form
The Blues are in top form, with only one loss in their last nine matches across all competitions. They've recently secured back-to-back victories, including a 4-1 win against Panathinaikos in Athens. However, they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw against Nottingham Forest despite dominating with 22 shots and 2.46 xG.
The New Boys in Town
Manager Enzo Maresca is expected to field a dynamic attack, with Noni Madueke in the starting lineup. Jadon Sancho, Joao Felix, or Pedro Neto will feature on the opposite flank, while Enzo Fernandez should return to the starting XI in the league after being rested against Liverpool.
Chelsea's Home Woes
Despite their impressive form, Chelsea have struggled at Stamford Bridge, winning only once in their last four league matches. They'll aim to regain momentum at home and attack Newcastle, but may adopt a slightly deeper defensive strategy to counter the Magpies' pace.
On the Other Side
Newcastle, who started the season strongly with four wins from their first four league matches, have faltered in recent games. They've lost their last two league matches and will be looking to turn things around against Chelsea.
The Stats Don't Lie
Chelsea have won 10 of their last 15 home matches. Chelsea have scored 23 goals in their last nine games (all competitions). Chelsea's Cole Palmer netted 27 goals last season (6 this season). Newcastle have lost 11 of their last 13 away games against Chelsea. Newcastle have scored just 3 goals in their last five matches.
Verdict
While recent form suggests a tight contest, Chelsea's home advantage and impressive head-to-head record lean towards a Chelsea win. Yet, Newcastle's attacking flair means we could be in store for a thrilling encounter.
