Our betting predictions for Chelsea vs Newcastle match are:
Chelsea vs Newcastle Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea have been solid defensively under Tuchel conceding only one goal in their five matches under him. Therefore their defence should have too much quality for a weak Newcastle side and hence betting on the home team to win to nil at odds of 1.90 (betway) at odds of 1.90 is a safe way to earn almost double returns
Timo Werner has been a regular starter for the Chelsea side and has gained some form under Tuchel. He will get a lot of chances in the match and thus betting on him to get more than 4 shots at odds of 2.25 (William hill) is a really good bet to make.
Jorginho has been the heart of Chelsea’s midfield under Tuchel and been a solid defensive midfielder . He will constantly be helping the defence line and thus betting on him to get over 2 tackles at odds of 2.25 (William hill) can be a really safe bet.
Quick Rich
Mason Mount was Lampard’s most trusted player and he is slowly gaining his new boss’ trust too as he is exceptional at exploiting the empty spaces. He scored in his last start as well and thus betting on him to score against Newcastle at odds of 4.00 (betway) can give you high returns at minimal risk.
Another really good bet involves the combination of the match to involve 1-3 goals, under 5 cards and 3-6 corners in each half at odds of 4.50 (William Hill). We expect it to be low scoring match with both teams stronger in defence than in attack.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea are clear favourites to continue their fine form of five wins and a draw under Tuchel. Newcastle have been struggling and have lost 10 of their last 14 matches and will be missing a some key players due to injuries and suspensions. Chelsea have too much quality and a lot of depth in their squad and thus we expect them to get an easy win at odds of 1.25 (betway).
Bet During the Match
If Cesar Azpilectueta starts the match at right wing back or right back, betting on him to get an assist at odds of 5.00 (William Hill) can be one of the best bets to make during the match.
Chelsea overall form: DWWWW
Newcastle overall form: LLWLW
