Newcastle — Chelsea: a big clash at St. James’ Park 
Newcastle host Chelsea this weekend in a match that matters to both sides. The Magpies will lean on their home strength, while Chelsea are looking to confirm their recent uptick in the league.
Newcastle: an up-and-down season, but a hard place to visit 
Newcastle are going through a rough patch in the Premier League. Results have been patchy and the club is stuck in the bottom half. The defeat at Sunderland last weekend still stings.
Still, Newcastle are tough at St. James’ Park. The Magpies are unbeaten in their last nine home games, across all competitions. That run is a proper foundation.
Chelsea: signs of improvement, but away trips are tricky 
Chelsea come in with more confidence. They beat Cardiff in the Cup and then saw off Everton 2-0 in the league with a big team display. Those results have dragged them closer to the European places.
But trips to Newcastle often cause Chelsea problems. They haven’t won any of their last five matches at St. James’ Park and have lost there several times. It’s on Chelsea to prove they can stop that run
Probable line-ups
Newcastle : Dubravka, Livramento, Schär, Lascelles, Hall, Tonali, Guimarães, Joelinton, Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon
Chelsea : Sanchez, Gusto, Chalobah, Fofana, Cucurella, James, Enzo Fernandez, Palmer, Garnacho, Neto, joao pedro
Key takeaways
- Newcastle are rock-solid at home.
- Chelsea are improving, but still fragile on the road.
- Chelsea haven’t won at St. James’ Park for several seasons.
- Both teams need points.

First off, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a reading of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a goal from nowhere… and everything changes.
- Let’s be clear: there are no risk-free bets. Even when something looks “obvious”, it usually isn’t. Yes, you can lose. It’ll happen sooner or later.
- Best advice: be sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And above all: don’t chase losses. It rarely ends well.
- Betting should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over your life, annoying you or putting you under pressure, take a break. If needed, speak to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral quickly (money losses, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our tips don’t form a contract. They carry no legal weight. Plain and simple: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info that changes
A tip is based on what we know when we write it. But between then and kick-off, a team sheet (like Chelsea’s) can change, a player can pick up an injury, the weather can turn… and the analysis can be out of date. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that gambling is legal where you are. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling above all
We won’t say it enough: gamble in moderation. If you struggle to keep control, don’t wait to get help. We can’t be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the site’s information.
