Newcastle vs Chelsea Prediction & Betting tips
The Premier League resumes on Saturday afternoon with a game in North East England. Newcastle United receives a visit from Chelsea at St. James’ Park. The visitors from London were in gigantic form before the international break, but Newcastle United in-house has been difficult to beat for years.
Newcastle United:
For a club like Newcastle United it must be terrible to play without an audience for months now. A well-stocked St. James’ Park can really make a difference for Newcastle United, but since March of this year, The Magpies have had to do without the support of the fanatical home crowd. Whether it actually has much effect on Newcastle United’s results is doubtful. After eight games in the current season, Newcastle United is in thirteenth place in the Premier League.
We cannot expect much more from this Newcastle United. Steve Bruce has a number of reasonable players at his disposal, but no more than that. Especially in defense and midfield, Newcastle United doesn’t really have any players that will make you sit on the edge of your seat. Nevertheless, they are satisfied every season at Newcastle United if they manage to maintain themselves. That will undoubtedly happen again this season, as The Magpies will not look back on their first eight league matches of this season. Just like before the international period, Bruce will also have to miss a number of players in the coming weeks due to injuries.
Chelsea:
This could well be Chelsea and Frank Lampard’s season. The West Londoners started the season a bit disappointing. That had everything to do with the fact that Lampard had to fit in a lot of new players at Chelsea. However, as the season progresses, things start to run a lot better at Chelsea. An important role is played by former Ajax player Hakim Ziyech who repeatedly expressed his mark on the game of Chelsea for the international break. Timo Werner has also found his niche with The Blues in a short time.
The international period came at a bad time for Chelsea. The Blues had won their last four games for those international matches and were well on track. In recent weeks, Krasnodar (0-4), Burnley (0-3), Rennes (3-0) and Sheffield United (4-1) all put aside by Chelsea. Also notable is that the Blues in five of the last six games kept the zero: goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has also as an important role. The Senegalese makes a lot more impression than Kepa Arrizabalaga, who has already cost Chelsea the necessary points this season. In its current form, Chelsea is certainly an outsider for the national championship.
