Leicester City vs Newcastle United Prediction

Leicester City Form

Leicester City swept all aside in their last three matches and started off by winning 3-0 against Newport. They went on to defeat West Ham 0-2 and made it three on the spin against Milton Keynes Dons in a 0-3 victory. Leicester City only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored seven and conceded four goals.

Leicester City were dreaming of a comfortable mid-table finish, but abysmal form sees them punching far below expectations.

Newcastle United Form

Newcastle United look well suited to take on any opponent with seven points to show off from three matches. They started off drawing 0-0 with Crystal Palace, before downing first Chelsea by 1-0, then Bournemouth in a 1-0 win. Newcastle United won half their previous six away matches in the Premier League, as well as seeing two draws and suffering one defeat. They scored 12 goals whilst conceding six.

While perhaps not quite strong enough for a podium finish, Newcastle United should have no trouble finishing the upper half of the Premier League.

Both sides seem very focused on keeping things tight and, we believe a low scoring match is on the menu, as Newcastle United travel to King Power Stadium to face Leicester City.

Leicester City so far pulled off a record of five wins, two draws and eight defeats in the Premier League this season. Newcastle United enjoy a record of eight wins, six draws and one defeat in the Premier League.
