On Saturday, from 15pm, Chelsea receives a visit to Newcastle, on Stamford Bridge, in the 9th round of the Premier League. Frank Lampard’s team is favored to success in front of an opponent who has had problems in the moves of the last seasons! In Chelsea’s attack we find the scorer Abraham.
Without Emerson, Loftus-Cheek and Rudiger, the hosts are fresh at the end of the international break, and the London attack should be productive in front of the “cotopenes”. Newcastle doesn’t have Lejeune and Ritchie at their disposal, and the mission on the move is very difficult.
Chelsea is in 5th place (18-14 goalscoring) and does not so strongly accuse the departure of Eden Hazard, arrived at Real Madrid With only two failures to active, the hosts will dominate the hostilities on their own ground, in front of Newcastle, which is 16 (goal 5-13). Attack is the main problem for Steve Bruce’s team, which is yet to be found.
However, the black and white have enough quality in attack, to pose problems to a hesitant defense. Chelsea receive a goal almost every game, and this will act as a boost for the guests. With an average of 9.5 yards per game, Newcastle hopes to be incisive in the opponent’s corner, and the lines offered by online agencies are some that can be tackled. With 8 goals this season, Tammy Abraham (Chelsea) will be the most dangerous player on the field on Saturday.
Chelsea comes after victories with Southampton (4-1), Lille (2-1 in the Champions League), Brighton (2-0) and Grimsby (7-1 in the League Cup), while Newcastle won the duel with Manchester United, from the previous stage (1-0). This match ended a series of 5 games without victory, and the “cotopenes” have lost 4 of the last 5 direct duels with Chelsea. All these matches have had at least three goals scored and we expect a similar event in the weekend.
PREDICTION: Over 2,5 goals @ 1,58
