Chelsea vs Newcastle United 11.03.2024 Prediction: Premier League

Match Overview

Chelsea and Newcastle United clash against each other in a match in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge in London on Monday. The home team know that they cannot sit deep and merely wait for Newcastle to attack on the counter. If they get lulled into thinking this strategy will work, they will be wrong about their presumptions.

Key Highlights 

It need not be forgotten that Chelsea are ranked 8th in goals scored per match (1.7 goals). At the same time, they have not kept a clean sheet in the last 8 matches that they have played. Cole Palmer has created the most big chances for Chelsea (9), and will hope to do more of the same in this game as well. The home team will want to get on the front foot straight away. 

Injury Report

Wesley Fofana, Romeo Lavia and Reece James are among some of the players who will miss out for Chelsea in this game. For Newcastle, Nick Pope, Matt Targett and Kieran Trippier may be unavailable. 

Prediction

Neither Chelsea nor Newcastle appear to be the downright favourites to win this game. We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. Newcastle are ranked 5th in goals scored per match (2.1 goals). Their star goalkeeper Martin Dubravka is ranked 1 in saves per match in the competition (4.6). Interestingly, right-back Kieran Trippier is ranked 3 in big chances created in the competition (13).
