Chelsea vs Newcastle 13.03.2022

Chelsea will be looking to put aside fresh off-the-pitch issues regarding their owner Abromovich when they host Newcastle at the Stamford Bridge this Saturday. With the Premier League title now down to a 2 horse race between Man City and Liverpool, Chelsea will be keen to maintain their third position on the log as we get to the business end of the season.

Newcastle meantime have had a new lease of life in the 2nd half of the season. They made key signings at in the January transfer window, taking full advantage of their new status as the richest club in the league thanks to the takeover by the Saudi Prince

This is likely to be a tough game with limited scoring chances as both teams will be keen not to drop points. We are therefore backing the game to have fewer than 4 goals scored.
