Newcastle Team News

Newcastle dismantled Brighton 4:1 in the last round. They also had a bit of luck in the 22nd minute when Brighton’s Deniz Undav scored an own goal. Newcastle led 2:0 in first-half stoppage time, but the match still needed to be decided. Unlucky Undav redeemed itself in the second part of the match and scored a goal to reduce the score. However, at the end of the game, in just three minutes, Newcastle scored two more goals and remained in the competition for the Champions League.

Only some things looked great in the previous round when Newcastle drew with Leeds 2:2, especially after losing the match against Arsenal 2:0.

Newcastle was considered the team with the best defense for a long time, but they managed to spoil that statistic, so Manchester City is now better than them.

Now they have two matches ahead of them. They are favorites against Leicester; the only question is how many goals they will score. It will not go smoothly with Chelsea, and it is clear that Newcastle needs points in the next match. Now they have 69 points, the same as Manchester Utd, while Liverpool is behind both with three points less.

Leicester Team News

Leicester City fans and players thought they had a much better chance against Liverpool at their home stadium. Last week Jurgen Klopp’s team scored two goals in the first half and one more in the second to outclass the home team. The fans were visibly disappointed and angry, primarily because of their team’s poor performance. Leicester only had four shots on goal in that game.

Leicester have been on a three-game unbeaten run of late, giving them some hope to fight for Premier League survival. They beat Wolves 2:1, drew with Leeds 1:1 and Everton 2:2.

Then came the match against Fulham, which filled Leicester’s net with five goals. Leicester scored three goals but needed more strength for more.

Leicester regularly hits the opponents’ nets, but the offense cannot compensate for the losses the defense allows. They have gone seven matches without a win away from home and are now on the verge of survival. They have 30 points, just three less than Everton, the first team above the danger zone.

Until the end of the season, they will also play against West Ham, Tottenham, and Liverpool. They will look for a way out of the crisis in those matches.

Newcastle vs Leicester Prediction

Newcastle is undoubtedly a better team than Leicester, which will be shown again in this match. After this one, the home team has only one more chance to secure the Champions League and will throw all their cards at this match. Leicester will try to defend, but they have not shown any confidence this season. We predict a victory for the home team with less than five goals.
