The Premier League matchday 30 clash between Chelsea and Newcastle United will take place on 14 March at the Stamford Bridge stadium in London. Chelsea vs Newcastle United: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Chelsea
The London club's win in their last match against Aston Villa (4:1) was already their fifth victory in the last eight games (2 draws, 1 defeat) and their 13th of the current season. It is also worth highlighting the side's attacking output across that run: over the same eight matches, the home team scored 19 goals, including finding the net against the standings leaders Arsenal. However, good results do not guarantee European football next season. Liverpool are breathing down their necks, while the Londoners are still three points off the Champions League places. At the moment, Chelsea sit fifth in the league on 48 points.
The club's Premier League scoring streak stands at 14 matches.
Both teams have scored in each of Chelsea's last seven league games.
In 14 home matches this season, the Londoners have recorded six wins (5 draws, 3 defeats).
Potential Chelsea Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Robert Sanchez – Mamadou Sarr, Trevoh Chalobah, Jorrel Hato, Reece James – Andrey Santos, Moises Caicedo – Cole Palmer, Enzo Fernandez, Pedro Neto – Joao Pedro.
Defender Levi Colwill, forward Estevao, midfielders Jamie Gittens and Dario Essugo, and goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen will miss the match through injury.
Newcastle United
Thanks to last round's win over Manchester United (2:1), the club moved up to 12th in the table, but Newcastle United's recent results still leave a lot to be desired. In the previous seven matches, Eddie Howe's men have managed just two wins (5 defeats), and the season as a whole has been disappointing. The away side have been knocked out of the FA Cup and remain in the bottom half of the Premier League standings. The only positive is their Champions League participation, but qualifying again next season will be extremely difficult — they are 12 points adrift of fourth place.
- Both teams have scored in the club's last six league matches.
In 14 away matches in the 2025/26 season, the team have recorded three wins (4 draws, 7 defeats).
Newcastle United have conceded in seven straight Premier League games.
Potential Newcastle United Lineup (4-3-3)*
Nick Pope – Lewis Hall, Kieran Trippier, Dan Burn, Malick Thiaw – Sandro Tonali, Joelinton, Jacob Ramsey – Anthony Gordon, Anthony Elanga, Nick Woltemade.
Defenders Fabian Schar, Valentino Livramento and Emil Krafth, as well as midfielders Lewis Miley and Bruno Guimaraes, will miss the match through injury.

Chelsea vs Newcastle United: Match Prediction
Chelsea head into the upcoming game as favourites. The Londoners are in much better form and have been scoring freely, finding the net at least twice in six of their last eight Premier League matches. However, they have not always been convincing at the back.
Newcastle United, despite the odd strong performance, continue to concede in most matches and cannot boast defensive consistency. Away from home, the club have failed to keep a clean sheet in 10 of their last 11 Premier League games. It is also worth noting the Londoners' advantage in this head-to-head: in 11 of the last 12 league meetings at Chelsea's ground, the hosts have come out on top (1 draw).
Given the current form of both sides, the hosts' attacking potential and the visitors' vulnerability, the most likely outcome is that the Londoners win or, at the very least, avoid defeat. At the same time, Newcastle United are quite capable of scoring at least once.
Prediction: Both teams to score + Chelsea, double chance
