- Newcastle is currently unbeaten in the last 12 games
- Chelsea haven’t won in their last four EPL matches
- Chelsea won the last meeting at St James’ Park.
The English Premier League schedule is giving us another round of games this weekend, and Newcastle is set to host Chelsea for a shot at another three points.
This game is vital to both teams, with the top four at stake. Therefore, getting all three points is the goal for both teams.
They would want to get closer to the top teams and increase their chances of winning the league. Every team in the league has had its fair share of losses.
However, Newcastle, Manchester City, and Arsenal have only lost one game since the start of the season. As a result, they are at the top of the Premier League standings this season.
Even though the top three haven’t lost plenty of games, the gap isn’t too much, and any slipup can cause them to lose their position at the top. In that case, going forward, winning is critical to the teams.
We would expect them to put in the work and try to win as many more games as possible.
Newcastle taking on Chelsea would be an exciting match because the away team is struggling and would want to go into the break on a high.
We can’t tell what to expect from Chelsea when they visit the Park. Therefore, any Newcastle United vs Chelsea betting picks will be tricky.

From the Premier League odds, we can see that Newcastle United is the favorite to win this match.
With the team playing at home and having better stats, we’re not surprised they are touted to win the game.
It is obvious that Chelsea has been struggling since the start of the season, and the manager change hasn’t helped much.
Newcastle’s Odds Breakdown
Newcastle, with +130 odds, has an expected winning chance of about 42%, which is not too high, and whenever they have these odds, they’ve won 63% of their matches.
In that case, we might see them increase that tally. However, it will be a difficult job as they host Chelsea this weekend.
Chelsea’s Odds Breakdown
Chelsea’s chances of winning are 33%, as they have +200 odds. The team has the chance to increase their points tally with this game.
In that case, we expect them to go for the win. However, they’ve only won 30% of the games they had these odds. So, it shows that the team doesn’t do too well whenever they are underdogs.

Newcastle United
Since the takeover last season, Newcastle United record has gone from being a team battling relegation to becoming one of the top contenders in the league.
The team has continued to deliver at the highest level, and currently, they sit third on the EPL table.
Newcastle United is a solid team that has recruited top players from across Europe and other parts of the world.
Newcastle United Winning Streak
As a result, they’re now a formidable side in the league. The team is currently on a winning streak, and since the start of the season, they’ve only lost one game.
With Bruno Guimaraes handling the midfield and Miguel Almiron on form, Newcastle is on course to becoming one of the best teams in the league.
Eddie Howe has done a lot of work and turned the team around. They now play as a unit and an attacking force. In that case, they can make one of the top European spots in the league.
Newcastle as the Favorites
As a result, they are the favorites going into this game against Chelsea. They will also play at home, and almost all the starters are available.
Therefore, they are a team to watch, and we look forward to what they will do when Chelsea comes to visit from London. Also, we expect the same team that played their last EPL match to play this game.
Chelsea FC
The start of the season wasn’t too good for Chelsea as the team went on a bad run of form that resulted in the sacking of Thomas Tuchel.
The arrival of Graham Potter gave the team hope, and they went on an unbeaten run. However, it didn’t last, as some key players began to get injured.
Biggest London’s Rivals
The injuries started affecting the team’s results, and as a result, the Chelsea team stats have been poor. They’re currently on a four-game no-win run, which included a loss to their biggest London rivals.
Chelsea was the second-best team in that game, and they played badly. It was one of the worst performances from the club.
Many people could blame the performance on injuries, but the problem is that nothing, as changed as the injury list, is still the same.
Chelsea’s Key Players
Some key players, like Recce James, Ben Chilwell, Wesley Fofana, and Ngolo Kante, won’t be available for this game. Some players are even going to play without being fit 100%.
For instance, Kalidou Koulibaly also recently returned from injury and is not 100% fit. In that case, there is a lot of problem with the team, and Graham Potter has his work cut out for him.
Fielding the right players that can handle Newcastle’s attack is essential. The team also needs to curtail and control the midfield.
Newcastle United vs. Chelsea FC Pick and Prediction
The game between Chelsea and Newcastle is exciting, with both teams looking for three points. It won’t be easy for either side.
Chelsea is coming into this game after a loss against Arsenal in the league. And with the World Cup here, the team needs a win before the break so that there is something to hold on to when matches resume.
On the other hand, Newcastle will want to maintain their top-three spot in the league. The goal is to finish as high as possible in the league, and they are off to a good start.
Who to Bet On?
So, we believe they would bring their A-game to this tie as the EPL schedule gets hotter. However, we think Chelsea has a fair shot at winning the game.
This game is tricky to judge, and because we can’t tell who would win and we don’t expect too many goals, our Newcastle United vs Chelsea betting picks is Under 1.5 HT.
