So Chelsea have successfully manage to squeeze out a win from their cup tie against Newcastle. It was quite a game though but at first didn't expect Chelsea to actually qualify at the hands of Newcastle united but it seems Newcastle united are still struggling although they they had a comfortable win against Fulham during their weekend clash but this night was not good for them as Chelsea manage to equalized their first half lead and win the game on penalties.
Unfortunately, after taking the lead in the 16th minute, Newcastle were unable to maintain their lead, and Chelsea were very lucky at the end of the match that Mudryk was able to equalize. however, there were only a few minutes of extra time remaining. in this match, Newcastle had difficulty getting out of the pressure after winning first. Chelsea launched attack after attack to equalize. However, of the 15 total shots they took, only 4 were on target, 6 shots were blocked and only 1 big chance. this match seemed to be going one way, and Chelsea controlled 78% of ball possession. Newcastle just tried to withstand attack after attack that Chelsea built. what is certain is that Newcastle only had one counterattack and was able to convert it well into a goal. after that, the game was completely dominated by Chelsea. unfortunately, Newcastle also lost in the penalty shootout. and this match was according to my predictions for 90 minutes of normal running time. previously, I predicted that there would not be many goals in this match. that's why the under 3 goals option is the ideal choice. or, +0.75 handicap option for Newcastle at odds @1.90. final result, in normal time the match ended 1-1. and if anyone bets according to my prediction, congratulations on winning the bet in this match. and for Newcastle fans, they must be willing to let their team lose in the Quarterfinal match. for Blues fans, at least their favorite team has a chance to win a trophy in the EFL competition. although it seems Liverpool will be a tough opponent if in tomorrow's match they beat West Ham. and yeah, at least this match was quite entertaining even though it wasn't what I expected from both teams.
