Chelsea vs Newcastle: Premier League preview and betting tips

Monday’s match of the 28th round of the English Premier League will feature Chelsea vs Newcastle. Both teams certainly had higher expectations before the start of the season, but they are only quietly in the middle of the table. The match at Stamford Bridge will kick off on Monday 11 March at 21:00 CET.

When to watch Chelsea vs Newcastle?

This will be the last league appearance for both teams before the March break as they will be fulfilling their FA Cup duties over the following weekend. It is therefore a very important match, which will kick off at Stamford Bridge on Monday 11 March at 21:00 CET.

Huge casualties and unconvincing results

Chelsea missed a huge chance to participate in the upcoming Europa League. Mauricio Pochettino’s men lost to Liverpool in the EFL Cup final, which was decided by Dutch defender Virgil van Dijk just before the end of extra time.

In the Premier League we find the Blues in eleventh position with 36 points. They can still think about at least sixth place, which they are eleven points behind, but they have two games in hand. They are also in contention in the FA Cup, where they will challenge second-placed Leicester in the quarter-finals.

Newcastle , like their upcoming opponent, have been struggling with a huge relegation problem for a long time. The Champions League qualifier is currently in ninth place with 40 points.

The team’s top scorer is Alexander Isak with eleven accurate shots. However, Anthony Gordon is also a huge contributor to the Magpies’ productivity, with nine goals and five assists.

Betting tip – Chelsea to win

I expect the Blues, led by Cole Palmer, to get on a winning streak again. The last match between the two sides offered a draw, hence the fans were expecting a penalty shootout. Given the unconvincing defenses, both teams could make a run.
