A match that could decide the season. Newcastle and Chelsea, tied on 63 points in the table and currently in the Champions League places, must win, or at least try to, because Nottingham are just behind them with an easy game and dreaming of overtaking them. And, in any case, if the match ends in a draw, they would both be caught in the standings.
However, it is unlikely that this match will end in a draw for a couple of reasons. The first is that, like it or not, Chelsea played in the Conference League on Thursday, so the match against Djurgarden took some of their mental energy. And then the home field advantage could prove decisive in this match. At least that has been the case in the last two games Newcastle played at home against Chelsea.
It will therefore be a tense and entertaining match. In our opinion, Howe’s side are slight favorites, as they are virtually unbeatable at home: the Bianconeri have won six games in a row in front of their own fans, an impressive run that effectively rules out any chance of Chelsea coming away from this ground unscathed. So, let’s be clear: a home win is highly likely.

The prediction
The Bianconeri are favorites and dreaming of a place in the next Champions League. A dream that also touches Chelsea, of course. But the situation is quite clear at the moment: Newcastle, at home, is almost a steamroller and will take the three points, almost securing a place in the top five.
