Prediction Newcastle United vs Chelsea season – Betting Tips for the Premier League on 11th May 2025

Match Overview

The upcoming Premier League clash between Newcastle United and Chelsea at St. James' Park promises to be a significant battle as both teams vie for crucial points in the closing stages of the season. With only a handful of matches left in the 2024/2025 campaign, the stakes are high for both sides as they seek to maintain their positions in the top half of the league table.

Newcastle comes into this fixture sitting comfortably in 4th place, having secured 63 points from 35 matches, with a record of 19 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses. Their recent form shows a mixed bag, which includes a commanding 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace and a disappointing 4-1 loss to Aston Villa. Most recently, Newcastle managed to salvage a draw against Brighton, which reflected their current struggle to secure wins consistently.

On the other hand, Chelsea is not far behind, holding the 5th position with an identical point tally of 63, albeit with a record of 18 wins, 9 draws, and 8 losses. The Blues have turned their fortunes around in recent weeks, boasting three consecutive victories against Ipswich Town, Everton, and most notably, Liverpool, where they triumphed 3-1. Chelsea's attacking prowess shone in that match, with standout performances hinting at a team finding its rhythm.

Head-to-Head

In their most recent encounter, Newcastle emerged victorious, defeating Chelsea 2-0 during the Carabao Cup. This recent history could motivate Chelsea to seek revenge and bolster their confidence heading into this match. However, Newcastle's strong home form adds to the complexity.

With Newcastle scoring an impressive 66 goals throughout the season while conceding 45, their attacking capabilities will not be understated. Similarly, Chelsea has scored 62 goals but has a slightly better defensive record with just 41 conceded. Both teams exhibit a high attacking potential and can capitalize on any defensive lapses.

Betting Tips

Given the statistics and current form, the betting markets are promising. With odds of 2.15 for a Newcastle win sitting at a probability of 46.51%, and 3.00 for a Chelsea win at 33.33%, this clash could go either way. However, Newcastle's home advantage makes them slight favorites.

A great betting suggestion would be to consider the Both Teams to Score (BTTS) market, as there have been high-scoring matches recently featuring both teams. Newcastle's incursions into the attacking third and Chelsea's resurgence in form make it likely that both sides will find the net.

So, bet on "Both Teams to Score" and enjoy the thrilling showdown packed with action and goals!
