Chelsea vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting tips
Chelsea and Newcastle United close this round in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge on Monday-evening. Thomas Tuchel is getting better and better at Chelsea, which just has to take three points in West London when Newcastle United is a guest.
Chelsea:
With Tuchel at the helm, Chelsea hopes to qualify for next season’s Champions League in the coming period. The Blues will play an away game at Atlético Madrid next week in the knockout phase of the Champions League and Chelsea would like to participate in the billion-dollar ball again next season. Then Chelsea still have to work hard in the Premier League in the last weeks of this competition. Chelsea are currently in a position that does not entitle them to Champions League qualification.
The resignation of Frank Lampard caused a lot of commotion in the English media a few weeks ago. To date, however, Tuchel has managed to achieve better results with Chelsea than Lampard. Of those five games that Chelsea played under the leadership of the German manager, it managed to win four. For example, Chelsea was still too strong for Sheffield United (1-2 in the Premier League) and Barnsley (0-1 in the FA Cup) last week. With Newcastle United at home and Southampon out, Chelsea will also face two opponents this week to beat. Next, The Blues awaits a tough program with two encounters with Atlético Madrid, Manchester United, Everton, Leeds United and Liverpool as opponents.
Newcastle United:
Newcastle United hopes to book a good result at Stamford Bridge on Monday evening. The chance that that will happen is not that great. Newcastle United are working on a disappointing season in the Premier League and are just above the line. To be precise, Newcastle United is in seventeenth place in the Premier League. Fortunately for The Magpies, the lead over Fulham, West Bromwich Albion and Sheffield United (the three clubs below the line) is already so great that they do not have to worry immediately.
The expectations of the Geordies, on the other hand, have been extremely high for years. Even now there is criticism of Steve Bruce, because the supporters of Newcastle United are not satisfied with the current classification. Newcastle United is of course a sleeping giant, but we should not expect The Magpies to end up in the left row with this team. On the other hand, it makes sense that there is some criticism of Bruce, as Newcastle United really has no worse material than clubs like Brighton & Hove Albion, Burnley and Crystal Palace. All those teams are above Newcastle United. Last weekend, Newcastle United did book a 3-2 victory over Southampton, despite the fact that The Magpies were with ten men for almost the entire second half.
