Chelsea is set to host Newcastle at Stamford Bridge for their last game of the season this Sunday. With just one win in twelve games, the Blues’ current form has been less than impressive, especially at the back. While a win may not be necessary for Newcastle, which has clinched Champions League football already, they could prove too strong for the lacklustre Blues.
Our football betting expert has come up with three best Chelsea vs Newcastle betting tips and predictions ahead of the game. Firstly, Newcastle to win, given their impressive away points haul this season, which is third-best in the Premier League, and the players’ six-day rest, while Chelsea plays Manchester United on Thursday. Bet 9ja offers odds of 29/20 for this outcome.
The second betting tip is Callum Wilson to score anytime, with 18 league goals so far this season and 11 goals in 11 games for his club. BetKing offers odds of 5/4 for Wilson to score during the game.
Finally, Chelsea’s defenders could face problems if Frank Lampard opts to stick with Cesar Azpilicueta at right-back. Azpilicueta has received three yellow cards in just 14 starts this season, and the EPL match against Manchester City showed he struggled significantly against City’s young guns. Bet 9ja offers odds of 4/6 for over 1.5 Chelsea cards.
