Score prediction for Newcastle - Chelsea match: The advantage of the home team at St James' Park

Alexander Isak (left) is a big threat to Chelsea's goal when he scored against The Blues three times in a row before.

This decisive confrontation will take place at 8:00 p.m. today, May 11.

The Magpies have had a mixed run of form recently, losing to Aston Villa, beating Ipswich Town and drawing with Brighton, but they are certainly capable of beating Chelsea at a packed St. James' Park. Newcastle have 43 points from their last 20 Premier League games - winning 14, drawing 1 and losing 5 - only behind champions Liverpool (46).

In the last 11 times hosting Chelsea in the Premier League, Newcastle won 7. This season, Mr. Howe's team beat Chelsea 2-0 at home on the way to winning the English League Cup (final victory over Liverpool).

One notable figure for the hosts will be Alexander Isak, who scored the equaliser in the 1-1 draw with Brighton. Since December 2024, the Swedish striker has scored 19 goals and had a hand in 23 in total, second only to Salah (30 goals and assists).

Notably, Isak's ability to choose position and finish makes him a top transfer target for big teams when of the 19 goals mentioned above, only 4 are from the 11m mark.

He has scored three consecutive goals against Chelsea, so the Blues' defense must be on high alert for him.

Meanwhile, striker Anthony Gordon is pushing for a start, with Joelinton, Jamaal Lascelles and Matt Target still in the recovery room.

Chelsea will head into this crunch clash on the back of a comfortable win over Djurgarden to book their place in the Conference League final. Manager Enzo Maresca has kept several key players on the bench to save them for the weekend's clash. But facing the Magpies at this point is easier said than done.

With Newcastle turning St. James' Park into a veritable fortress, the visitors are likely to return to London empty-handed. Marc Guiu is a major doubt, while Wesley Fofana remains sidelined through injury.

Chelsea hope Cole Palmer and N. Jackson will shine at the right time like in the first leg 2-1 win over Newcastle, in which Palmer made a wonderful assist for Neto to pass the ball to Jackson to open the score. It was Palmer who scored the winning goal in the second half with a shot from 16.50m.

Chelsea's No. 20 recently ended a 20-game goal drought after scoring from the penalty spot in a 3-1 win over Liverpool. That win will surely give The Blues a lot of motivation ahead of the remaining 3 tough rounds, including 2 tense away trips to Newcastle and Nottingham Forest (the final round).

The initial odds of the match were Newcastle giving Chelsea half a goal (win 9, lose all), by yesterday afternoon it had returned to Newcastle giving Chelsea half a goal, for choice. Even this morning the odds have not changed at all.

The market's silence is rare in the Premier League's top matches, and it also promises unpredictable surprises. But anyway, with strong potential and home field advantage, the "Magpies" will fly high again this time.

1-1 is the most likely score with the lowest price, betting 1 wins only 7.9, then 2-1 with the price of 8.8, while 1-0 wins 11 and 2-0 wins up to 13. Chelsea's chance of winning is also not underestimated when 1-2 bets win 10, 0-1 wins 13 and 0-2 wins 18.
