Betting tips for Chelsea VS Newcastle 12.01.2019
After losing the League Cup first leg against Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea are back to Stamford Brdige looking to regain their confidence, measuring their strengths with Newcastle on Saturday afternoon in a tie for the 22nd Day of the Premier League. The Blues have fallen somewhat short of expectations at their last appearances and need to regain confidence, while on the other side will be a Newcastle in bad shape and who needs to score to start gaining safety in places descent.
Chelsea are in fourth place with 44 points, with 13 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses, with 38 goals scored 16 goals conceded. Chelsea come here after a satisfactory result, beating Watford (1-2) and Crystal Palace (0-1), then tying up at home to Southampton (0-0), then beating Nottingham Forest (2-0) in the FA Cup, but ended up losing in the last challenge, against Tottenham (1-0) for the League Cup. Maurizio Sarri's side have won most of the last domestic games but their displays have not impressed, with the team still showing a great dependence on key player Eden Hazard.
At home they already have 11 games played this season in the English league, winning 6 and losing only 1, with a total of 19 goals scored and 8 goals conceded. The team failed to win the last two games in their domains for the league, and after a defeat against Tottenham the Blues need to regain confidence, even because the accounts on the table begin to tighten and they have a difficult move to Arsenal's home next round. For this match, Sarri can not count on Loftus-Cheek and Christensen, both injured, being in doubt the presence of Morata, who is recovering from injury.
Premier League Newcastle, in turn, ranks 15th with 18 points, 4 wins, 6 draws and 11 losses, with 15 goals scored and 29 goals conceded. The team have had better days and are nowhere to be beaten without winning any of their last five successive games, tying Fulham (0-0), losing to Liverpool (4-0) and tying up at Watford (1-1) , losing to Manchester United (0-2) and tying in the reception to Blackburn Rovers (1-1), the latter for the FA Cup.
The Magpies are now only one win in the last eight consecutive games of the English league, a record far from being positive and that leaves the team just 2 points above the water line, causing some pressure on Rafa Benitez to start adding points quickly, or you may be seen falling into the descent places. Ki Sung-yueng and Yoshinori Muto are out in the service of their national team, with players Federico Fernández, Shelvey, Diamé and Dummet still in doubt.
After two disappointing results in his dominance, Sarri will not allow any other result than victory in this challenge, not least because the Blues need to gain confidence before a difficult move to Arsenal territory. In addition, Chelsea have won their last 6 home games against the Magpies, scoring 2 or more goals in each match.
