Chelsea vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting tips
Frank Lampard’s Chelsea won the last four games in the Premier League. On Saturday afternoon, Newcastle United will visit Stamford Bridge, which beat Manchester United 1-0 before the international break. Does Newcastle United also make Chelsea difficult? Or do the three points remain in London?
Chelsea:
The Chelsea of trainer Frank Lampard is going to run better as the season progresses. The former English international achieved poor results with Chelsea in the first weeks of the season, but now The Blues has a good taste. Chelsea won the last four games it played and has risen to fifth place in the Premier League. Chelsea already has ten points behind leader Liverpool after eight games, but The Blues did not have the illusion that they would compete for the championship this season.
In the weeks before the international break Chelsea won in succession against Grimsby Town (7-1, Carabao Cup), Brighton & Hove Albion (2-0, Premier League), Lille (1-2, Champions League) and Southampton (1-4, Premier League). Especially the victory at St. Mary’s Stadium in Southampton was convincing from Chelsea, that this weekend is only too happy to book the fifth consecutive victory. The Blues won their last seven home games against Newcastle United and are of course the top favorite again for this game. N’Golo Kanté was injured during the international matches with France and Lampard probably cannot have the French balafpakker against Newcastle United.
Newcastle United:
Newcastle United managed to beat Manchester United 1-0 before the interlandbreak by a goal from the 19-year-old Matthew Longstaff. Earlier in the season, The Magpies also beat Tottenham Hotspur 0-1, but in the other six games, Newcastle United never managed to get the full loot. In fact, Newcastle United lost the five games before the Manchester United game. All in all, at St. James’ Park they are not yet completely convinced of Steve Bruce’s trainers qualities, but if the 58-year-old manager finally manages to maintain himself, he has simply met the target.
Bruce does not have a great selection at Newcastle United. Moreover, Newcastle United is very volatile this season, because in the week before the 1-0 win against Manchester United, The Magpies lost 5-0 to Leicester City. Bruce is expected to come up with the same eleven names on Stamford Bridge as he did against Manchester United two weeks ago, which would mean that the brothers Matthew and Sean Longstaff once again form the central midfield of Newcastle United.
