Chelsea will take on Newcastle United in the closing round of the current Premier League season. The hosts hope to break their bad run, while the away side looks forward to ending its campaign perfectly.
Chelsea Preview & Team News
It has been a disappointing campaign for Chelsea since they will finish in the bottom half of the table. The Blues are the biggest underachievers this season, and they won’t compete on the continental stage in September. Going into this contest, Chelsea had been without a win at home for the past six matches in the league. That’s never good. The fans hope that things will get better when Maurizio Pochettino takes over the bench this summer. However, Kante, Mount, James, Cucurella, Chilwell, and Badiashile have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the home side, and won’t be featuring for this match.
Newcastle United Preview & Team News
Newcastle United returns to the Champions League after many troubles during the last decade. The Magpies have secured the top-four finish, and they have a chance to improve. Newcastle lost only three games on the road this season, and they want to finish the campaign in style. They’ve been doing well lately, losing just twice on the previous 13 occasions. Ahead of this game, all Saint-Maximin, Murphy, and Gordon are pushing for recalls to the starting XI, while all Ritchie, Lascelles, and Krafth remain in the recovery room. Joe Willock is unlikely to be risked against Chelsea.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Momentum is on the Magpies’ side, and we don’t see Chelsea improving in this game. Therefore, we won’t be surprised if Newcastle United grabs a win at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon.
Goals Market Prediction
Six of their last seven h2h matches stayed under a 2.5 margin, and this one shouldn’t be much different. Chelsea struggles in front of the opponent’s net, while Newcastle’s defense has been quite disciplined. That’s why we shouldn’t see more than two goals in total.
