Chelsea vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting Tips (27 October)

Eager to play the leading roles again this season, Chelsea are currently 6th in the Premier League and concede 3 units of spending on 4th place. The Blues started the championship by losing to Manchester City at home 0-2 . Subsequently, they displayed good performances to string together 6 matches without a setback, 4 victories and 2 draws. This dynamic ended last weekend with a defeat suffered at the leader Liverpool despite a completely honorable performance from Enzo Maresca's men 2-1 . Deprived of the European Cup this season, Newcastle aims to win a continental qualification.

Unconvincing in the game, the Magpies still got off to a good start by not losing any of their first 4 championship matches. However, they have stalled over the last 4 days. Newcastle shared points with Manchester City 1-1 and Everton 0-0 and otherwise lost to Fulham 3-1 and Brighton last weekend 0-1 . This drop in performance relegates the Magpies to 9th place in the Premier League, 2 points behind their opponent of the day.

For Chelsea, the young striker who arrived at the club this summer Kellyman is still not on his feet this weekend. Added to this is the uncertainty surrounding the participation of left-back Chilwell. Defenders Fofana and Cucurella have finished serving their suspensions. Not registered on the list for the Conference League, playmaker Cole Palmer (6 goals and 5 assists in PL) should obviously start this Sunday and support Senegalese international Jackson (5 goals and 3 assists in PL). During the last day, Portuguese winger Pedro Neto made a very good start. On the Newcastle side, the important defenders Botman and Trippier as well as the replacement defender Lascelles are still missing, injured.

Furthermore, the interesting striker Wilson is announced as doubtful. The attacking trio could be composed of Gordon (2 goals in PL), Isak (1 goal and 1 assist in PL) and Barnes (3 goals and 1 assist in PL). The latter is still in balance with Murphy (2 assists in PL) to start. Despite real offensive potential, the Magpies have only scored 8 goals after 8 days.
