Chelsea vs Newcastle prediction and betting tips on December 19, 2023
Chelsea and Newcastle will face off in the quarter-finals of the English League Cup. Their confrontation will take place on December 19 and quite strong teams will compete in it.
Chelsea
As usual, Chelsea have had an inconsistent performance in the new season, winning just six matches, drawing four and suffering seven defeats.
Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino's side scored 28 goals and conceded 22, finishing tenth in the standings with 22 points.
Due to the failure of last season, the Blues do not play in European cups and thanks to this they can afford to field a fairly strong squad for the national cup matches.
Newcastle
At the same time, Newcastle is in sixth place with 29 points, having scored 36 goals and conceded 21. Interestingly, in the previous stages of the tournament, Newcastle defeated the giants of English football Manchester City and Manchester United.
There is an opinion that the Magpies will not play with the main squad in the cup match, as the team sets other tasks and goals for the season. Newcastle has already been eliminated from the Champions League and was left without European competition, but the team has a good chance of breaking into the top four of the Premier League standings at the end of the season.
Match prediction
The predicted win for Chelsea is estimated at 1.82, the win for Newcastle is 4.59, and the draw is 4.05. I'll bet that the home team will win this match.
