Chelsea vs Newcastle Prediction & Betting Tips (27 October)

Although their home ground can justifiably be accused of lacking atmosphere, Chelsea have not let that detract from recent performances, with the former champions enjoying four wins on the spin in front of their own supporters in the Premier League. As for Newcastle, they clearly do not travel well, suffering nine defeats in 18 top-flight trips and winning only once along the way.

Chelsea have featured 16 times at home in the Premier League during the current campaign, with under 3.5 goals being the order of the day in every single one of these fixtures. Given that this has also been the case in 14 of the 16 top-flight away matches played by Newcastle this term, then any deviation from this script would come as a surprise.

Over the course of their last 19 Premier League matches, Newcastle have kept an impressive tally of 14 clean sheets, so finding a way through against Newcastle can prove difficult. Given that just three of the most recent 13 top-flight fixtures involving Chelsea have served up goals at both ends of the pitch, it is hard to see much of a deviation from the script.
