The Blues to take the day
Mauricio Pochettino and his boys warmed up for this cup tie with a comfortable 2-0 win over Sheffield. Meanwhile, the Magpies defeated Fulham 3-0 at home.
On the other hand, Newcastle have been terrible on the road. That should boost the Blues’ confidence as they head into this fixture. Chelsea are also unbeaten in their last four games, with over 1.5 goals scored in each. The Magpies haven’t won an away game since the win over Man United in the last round of this competition.
Realistically, there are no clear favourites, but Chelsea hold a slight advantage because of the home support.
Bet 1: Chelsea win & over 1.5 @ 2.05 with Bet9ja
Both teams to score
Here is an area where the two teams look quite similar. Chelsea have kept just two clean sheets in their past five games at home. The Magpies have been without a clean sheet in their last five away trips.
In the head-to-head, the Premier League fixture at St. James’ Park ended with both teams scoring (GG). Our expert believes a similar outcome is on the cards in this match.
Bet 2: GG @ 1.67 with Bet9ja
Chelsea to keep scoring form going
The Blues have a decent home run. They have not lost in four games and they have scored at least two goals in all of them. This includes a 2-0 win over Blackburn in the previous round of the EFL Cup.
In addition, Eddie Howe’s side have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five away games. The Blues might want to capitalize on that to get one over their visitors and move forward.
Considering the unpredictable nature of cup competitions, a lot of things are quite possible.
Bet 3: Over 1.5 Chelsea goals @ 1.74 with BetKing
Chelsea to avoid defeat
Newcastle might have been unbeaten against Chelsea in their past three head-to-head meetings. However, this cup fixture is an entirely different ball game.
On the other hand, the Blues have not lost at home to Newcastle since 2012. Considering the poor form of the visitors, our expert believes the London side can extend that unbeaten run.
Bet 4: Chelsea win or draw & under 4.5 @ 1.41 with BetKing
