Betting on Chelsea
Not even a win in their final game will save Chelsea’s season from being the Premier League’s biggest disappointment this season.
The multimillion-dollar investment made at the beginning of the campaign was of no use to the Blues, as they have just one success in the last 10 games and have been out of the European competitions for some time now, as they are in 12th place with 43 points.
In addition, this year they have changed their coach four times, they are tied in the fourth-lowest number of goals scored in the league with 37 and are the sixth-worst club playing at home, having not won in any of their last six games and recording just 24 points out of a possible 54.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Kepa Arrizabalaga; Wesley Fofana, Kalidou Koulibaly, Thiago Silva, Cesar Azpilicueta; Carney Chukwuemeka, Enzo Fernandez, Conor Gallagher; Kai Havertz, Joao Felix, Raheem Sterling.
Betting on Newcastle United
Last weekend, Newcastle closed a very successful season, returning to the Champions League since their last appearance in the 2003/04 edition.
The Magpies have lost just two of their 13 most recent Premier League games and so sit fourth in the standings with 70 points. The visiting team is two points behind Manchester United, whom they could overtake if they beat the Blues and the Red Devils lose at Fulham.
The success of Eddie Howe’s team was based on having one of the best defenses in the championship because with only 32 goals conceded they share first place in the category with Manchester City. Although their offense put them in trouble for several weeks, to the point of being second in ties with 13, in the final stretch they managed to find their way to scoring goals.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Martin Dubravka; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Sean Longstaff, Bruno Guimarães, Joe Willock; Callum Wilson, Alexander Isak, Miguel Almirón.
JefeBet Prediction
Without many important things to look for in this game, both teams will surely try to finish the season avoiding injuries in their squad and in the most Solomonic way possible.
Chelsea should be forced to look for a little more from the game considering they owe their fans one last joy, but Newcastle’s defense could be looking to finish as the best in the league.
For their part, the Magpies‘ attack has been going from strength to strength, although last matchday they were unable to score against one of the worst defenses in the league, Leicester, and this time they will have to face a better defense, the Blues.
It is also worth noting that in the last seven direct confrontations between these clubs, the scoreboard showed two goals or fewer, while in none of them did the scoreboard show goals for both teams. Therefore, at JefeBet we believe that betting for the Under (2.5) will be an interesting option.
Prediction: Under (CHE 1 – NEW 1).
