Sport / league:: EPL
Event / fixture:: Newcastle vs. Chelsea
Event date: Sun, 11 May 2025 at 9:30 PM
Market:: Draw No Bet
Tip:: Newcastle @ 1.64 (Dabble)
Tip Result:: Win

This game could have a huge bearing on who receives a Champions League spot next season. Newcastle and Chelsea sit 4th and 4th in the standings, respectively, with the same number of points. The form-lines for the two sides bears strong resemblance. Newcastle bring 6-1-2 form into this game, compared to 6-2-1 for Chelsea. My lean is towards the hosts, however, due to the venue. Newcastle have won five in a row at St. James’ Park and their last three home wins were by 3+ goal margins. Chelsea have gone 0-0-4 as the away underdog this season and they lost this fixture by a 4-1 margin last year. Chelsea have a midweek Europa Conference League fixture ahead of this clash, while Newcastle will not have played since the previous weekend.
