Newcastle vs Chelsea Prediction

Newcastle Form

Newcastle have seen it all in their last three matches. Against Aston Villa, they came out empty-handed in a 4-1 defeat, whereafter they avenged themselves in a 3-0 win against Ipswich. Their latest match saw them sharing the spoils in a 1-1 draw against Brighton. Newcastle have been in potent form at St James' Park, winning no less than five of the past six Premier League matches here. They also hammered in 19 goals, while letting in seven as they also lost once.

Chelsea Form

In their last three matches, Chelsea first beat Djurgarden 1-4, then Liverpool by 3-1 and finally Djurgarden by 1-0. Chelsea claimed just one win from the last six away games in the Premier League. They also drew one and were defeated four times, as they were outscored by ten goals to four.

You could argue a case on behalf of both teams, but form quite simply looks better, and the prices with the bookmakers for a home win are decent. Therefore, Newcastle get the nod here against Chelsea.

Newcastle have taken 19 points from their last 16 games against teams from the top half of the Premier League table. They won five of these matches with a scoreline of 24 goals to 32. In the last eight games against teams in the top six, Chelsea claimed two wins and eight points. They scored nine and conceded 12 goals. Newcastle are looking at a record of 19 wins, six draws and ten defeats in the Premier League this season. Chelsea are looking at 18 wins, nine draws and eight defeats in the Premier League.
