Can Magpies Continue Unbeaten Home Run?

The race for Europe in the Premier League is heating up, with only four points separating third-place Manchester City to seventh-place Aston Villa. Newcastle are sitting pretty in third, ahead of Chelsea on goal difference.

Last weekend, the Magpies drew 1-1 with Brighton & Hove Albion, with Alexander Isak rescuing a point from the penalty spot late on. As for the Blues, they picked up an impressive 3-1 home victory over Liverpool.

Newcastle have been in sensational form of late, winning seven of their last ten Premier League fixtures. United also ended their long wait for a trophy in March, beating Liverpool at Wembley Stadium to win the EFL Cup.

Chelsea are on their way to the UEFA Conference League final, but getting back into the Champions League remains the priority. The London side are unbeaten in six league games (four wins, two draws) and have won the last three. Enzo Maresca and his troops would love all three points at St James’ this weekend.

With both sides level on points and evenly matched on paper, this is tricky to call. Newcastle will fancy their chances on home soil, but in-form Chelsea will be no pushovers.

Sunday’s St James’ showdown could go either way, but we are backing the sides to play out another score draw – 4.30 is your price for the draw and both teams to score. We also like the look of 1.17 for over 1.5 goals to be netted.
