Chelsea v Newcastle Betting Tips [27 October 2024]

Back home from a winning outing in the Conference League, Chelsea will welcome Newcastle United at Stamford Bridge this Sunday. We have the preview and prediction below as the Blues entertain the Magpies.

A Joao Felix brace added to goals from Mykhailo Mudryk and a Cristopher Nkunku penalty completed a 4-1 rout of Panathinaikos on Thursday.

That win also snapped Chelsea’s two-game winless streak and they will be back to the Premier League full of confidence. Perhaps the only concern for manager Enzo Maresca will be the fact that they are struggling to keep clean sheets.

In their 13 matches so far, Chelsea have four clean sheets only.

Recent weeks haven't been encouraging at Newcastle United. Their once rampant scoring form is all forgotten and they come into this game with one win in five matches.That win was in the League Cup against Wimbledon, a team from the lower leagues.

Remarkably though, in this recent run, Newcastle United managed to hold champions Manchester City to a 1-1 draw. Their most recent league match, however, ended in a loss; 1-0 to Brighton.

Four winless matches in the league is a run that has seen Newcastle United drop to ninth. Their run away to Chelsea in the last 12 matches reads 11 losses.

Chelsea made another big step forward in winning their second Conference League game on Thursday. They halted a two-game winless run and are back at home rejuvenated. They will be ready for this Newcastle United side that’s currently struggling.

Newcastle are a pale shadow of what most expected and they will face a tough run out at Stamford Bridge. In their last 12 visits to Chelsea, Newcastle United suffered defeat 11 times. Our prediction for Chelsea v Newcastle United is for Chelsea to win.
