Newcastle United F.C. vs Chelsea F.C. Prediction 11 May 2025

Locked on 63 points apiece, Newcastle currently hold fourth place thanks to a marginally better goal difference (66:45), while Chelsea trail just behind in fifth with a tally of 62:41. With only three matches left, every point is vital in what’s shaping up to be a tight finish.

Newcastle’s recent run has been somewhat inconsistent. They’ve produced explosive performances at times, thrashing Manchester United 4–1 and Crystal Palace 5–0, and comfortably seeing off Ipswich 3–0. However, they also suffered a heavy 1–4 loss to Aston Villa and were held to a 1–1 draw by Brighton—proof that their form still fluctuates. The Magpies’ home advantage could prove critical here, as St. James’ Park has often been a fortress this season.

Chelsea, meanwhile, seem to be hitting their stride at just the right time. After back-to-back draws with Brentford (0–0) and Ipswich (2–2), the Blues bounced back with three straight wins, defeating Fulham (2–1), Everton (1–0), and most impressively, Liverpool (3–1). Their late surge has reignited hopes of finishing in a European spot, with a more stable backline and sharper finishing.

Given both teams’ attacking potential and recent form, this matchup promises intensity and quality. However, Newcastle’s strong home performances and slightly more potent frontline may just tilt the balance in their favor.
