Chelsea Prediction
The Blues are in great form. After defeating Djurgardens 1-0 (5-1 on aggregate) to advance to the Conference League final, Enzo Marezca’s side will face Newcastle in what essentially feels like a final for a spot in next season’s Champions League.
From December 2024 to February 2025, Chelsea went through a rough patch with several losses and draws, but the Italian manager seems to have regained control.
Now, in the season's final stretch, they are the most in-form team in the Premier League. Fans are dreaming of a top-five finish to secure a UCL return.
Newcastle Prediction
As I mentioned earlier, Chelsea is in excellent form, but let's not forget Newcastle recently snatched the Carabao Cup from Arne Slot’s Liverpool – the current Premier League champions.
That match taught us the Magpies know how to seize their opportunities and strike with precision.
As for their Premier League campaign, Newcastle currently sits in fourth place with 63 points (paired with Chelsea) and a goal difference of +21, with 66 goals scored and 45 conceded.
The stage is set at St. James' Park, and the next 90 minutes could be decisive for more than one team.
Chelsea vs. Newcastle Pick
Thousands of fans will be following closely, including those of Manchester City, Aston Villa, Forest, and even Arsenal supporters.
The pre-match hype suggests a thrilling game, and the market reflects this —the Over/Under is set at 2.5, and both moneylines offer interesting odds.
I believe Chelsea's current form gives them the edge over Newcastle. They have what it takes to deliver the win and take a big step toward securing a Champions League spot.
For this reason, the best play here is the Blues moneyline on FanDuel, which offers a solid edge at +210.
