I am worried about how the Newcastle team will play against Cheslea. The Chelsea team has shown great dominance in their last two matches. On the other hand it is Newcastle's home match. Newcastle at home will not want to drop points. And so it will be a tough task for Chelsea to get points in this match.
It looks like the bookies are starting to see Chelsea as a strong team and not underestimating them anymore, thanks to their performance in the early part of the season, which was pretty rough. The odds offered suggest that Chelsea is slightly favored over Newcastle, especially since the match is happening at St James Park. If it were at Stamford Bridge, Chelsea's odds could easily be around x1.8 or a maximum of x2.0.
This match is really hard to predict... Chelsea still hasn't completely won me over, even though their performance is gradually getting better. The return of some players from injury might be the key to the top-notch performance Chelsea could display.
