Leicester City - Newcastle United predictions

The most probable outcome of this match is Leicester City getting completely overwhelmed. They are underdogs by a considerable margin, and it’s not likely even the most optimistic of their fans are expecting them to pull off a victory.

The odds are clearly leaning in the away team’s favour, though the difference is by no means insurmountable. Leicester will have to give their all to come out on top, though, while Newcastle United merely have to make sure not to make major mistakes.

Although Leicester are coming on the back of a harsh 2:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Manchester City , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

The Magpies walked away with a 2:1 home win after their previous home game against Brentford. They were considered favourites going in, however, so it’s hard to take that match as an example of their current form.

Experts have pointed at Leicester’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 6 goals over the last 3 Premier League games.

Based on their recent performance, The Magpies’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 6 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

Well within the relegation zone, The Foxes begin to sweat. Their Premier League status is under doubt and Newcastle are coming to King Power Stadium this Monday to rub salt into their wounds. With 6.68 betting odds for a home win, it’s highly unlikely the hosts will be able to avoid anything other than another defeat.

Newcastle occupy 6th after 31 matches. They are 1 point short of a European spot which is their main goal for the season. Therefore, getting three points in King Power Stadium is their absolute imperative.

It’s clear that The Magpies are the favourites in this matchup, and they have the numbers to back that up. They faced The Foxes earlier this season and snagged a decisive victory which they’ll be looking to repeat.

With no injuries or suspensions, both teams will have their full rosters available for an exciting showdown.

An Under 3.5 Goals bet is an interesting choice for this match. It’s quite safe as you might expect, but the 1 odds offer more in the way of betting value than you would think.
