Match Stats

The Blues are struggling to string consecutive Premier League wins together. In their last match, Enzo Maresca’s side fell 1-2 to Liverpool at Anfield, following a 1-1 home draw with Nottingham Forest. Notably, the loss to Liverpool ended Chelsea's six-match unbeaten league run (4 wins and 2 draws).


These two setbacks have pushed Chelsea down to sixth in the standings, though the gap to the top four is just three points, leaving plenty of opportunities ahead. Additionally, Chelsea has only one home win from four games, accumulating just five points at Stamford Bridge. However, on Thursday, the Blues showcased strong form in Europe, convincingly defeating Panathinaikos 4-1 in Greece during the Europa League.


The Magpies have slipped to ninth in the table, trailing Chelsea by two points. Eddie Howe's side has been unable to secure a victory in their last four league outings, drawing with Manchester City (1-1) and Everton (0-0) while losing to Fulham (1-3) and Brighton (0-1).


Newcastle has also failed to score in their past two games — a first since March 2023. Overall, their scoring efficiency has been modest this season, with an average of two goals per match. In their last 25 away league games, Newcastle has only won seven, with just one victory coming against a team in the upper half of the standings.

Prediction: 2-0
