Sunday Football Betting Tips
Bet of the Day: Newcastle to Defeat Chelsea @ 6/5
The Premier League is on the brink of a historic achievement, as it gears up to feature **six representatives** in the Champions League next season—with Tottenham and Manchester United already confirmed for the Europa League final.
As **Newcastle and Chelsea** prepare to battle for a coveted Champions League spot, their match on Tyneside promises to be a pivotal moment. Both clubs are neck-and-neck, but the Magpies may well use their home advantage to seize the day.
Under Eddie Howe’s management, the Magpies have been formidable at St James’ Park, maintaining a perfect home record in the league since their only loss to Fulham on February 5. In fact, they’ve celebrated five consecutive home victories, including impressive wins of **5-0 against Crystal Palace** and **3-0 versus Ipswich**.
Conversely, Chelsea, who have successfully advanced to the Conference League final, managed a noteworthy 3-1 victory against champions Liverpool in their last league outing. However, their away form leaves much to be desired, with only a single win against Fulham in the last nine Premier League matches.
Charlton to Win & Over 1.5 Goals @ 10/3
In **League One**, the playoff race has reached a fever pitch. Though Wycombe Wanderers started the season strong, a difficult stretch saw them tumble from automatic promotion to finish fifth. Their playoff rivals, **Charlton**, are riding high with **11 wins in their last 15 matches**, including a **4-0 demolition of Wycombe** on Easter Monday.
Given their recent form and historical victories against Wycombe—having previously beaten them 2-1 at The Valley—this matchup is poised for excitement. Betting at 10/3 on Charlton to claim victory with at least two goals presents a tempting opportunity for punters.
Osasuna to Triumph Over Real Betis @ 4/1
Sunday promises to be an electric day as **Real Betis** fans celebrate their side’s journey to the Conference League final at the Estadio Benito Villamarín.
However, with a strenuous extra-time battle against Fiorentina fresh in their minds, the hosts might be more fatigued than expected. Despite their strong home record, they face a resilient **Osasuna** side that had recently won three consecutive matches before a setback against Villarreal.
At odds of **4/1**, backing Osasuna to cause an upset in Seville could be a savvy play for those looking to capitalize on the uncertainty.
