The match of the 16th round of the English championship “Newcastle” – “Chelsea” is scheduled for Saturday, November 12, from 19:30 at the stadium “St. James’ Park”, and will be broadcast live on Digi Sport 2 and Prima Sport 2.
The most anticipated match of the 16th round of the Premier League will take place between the teams Newcastle United and Chelsea, who are fighting for a place in the “Top 4” that will ensure their presence in the upcoming draw of the UEFA Champions League.
Newcastle have been running almost flawlessly under Eddie Howe and await Chelsea on the back of four straight league wins: 1-0 at Everton and 4-0 at Aston Villa at home, 2-1 at Tottenham and 4 -1 with Southampton in relegation.
“Kofenele” are in 3rd place with 27 points in 14 matches and have not lost a single home match, the only defeat in the championship was recorded away to “Liverpool” (1-2 on August 31). Newcastle scored 28 goals and conceded 11, with Almiron top scorer with eight.
Newcastle United are virtually the richest Premier League club after the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund (PIF) bought an 80% stake.
The PIF, overseen by Mohammed bin Salman Al Saud, the crown prince of Saudi Arabia, manages €368 billion (by comparison, City Football Group, the company controlled by Sheikh Mansour bin Zayed Al Nahyan and which owns Manchester City, is based on “just €27 billion) .
Chelsea, on the other hand, are not recovering even under Graham Potter, with the Londoners on a four-game winless run in the Premier League and losing their last two, 1-4 at Brighton (d) and 0-1 at Arsenal (a).
Moreover, in the middle of the week, “Chelsea” lost in the 1/8 finals of the English League Cup with a score of 0:2 on the field of “Manchester City”.
Chelsea are only in 7th place with 21 points from 13 matches but have won three of their seven away games this season.
Instead, Graham Potter’s team went “behind the scenes” in the UEFA Champions League, where they won their last four matches and reached the 1/8 finals of the competition, where they will meet Borussia Dortmund.
Chelsea also has a rich patron – American Todd Boley, who bought the Stamford Bridge group from Roman Abramovich for 4.68 billion euros.
The new Blues boss also owns the Los Angeles Lakers basketball team and the Los Angeles Dodgers baseball team with an associate.
Chelsea won both legs against Newcastle last season, 3-0 away (tour) and 1-0 at home (second leg).
Superbet offers odds of 1.75 on the prediction GG: Both teams will score in the match Newcastle – Chelsea.
