LEICESTER VS NEWCASTLE PREVIEW & PREDICTION
In the King Power Stadium, Leicester City will be visited by Newcastle United this weekend. Both Leicester City and Newcastle United actually do not play anymore, but both teams want to win this game.
Leicester City:
Leicester City is of course long and wide safe and The Foxes also know that there is no European football next season. For Leicester City it is now important to conclude the season as positively as possible and that could still be done with a seventh place. The Foxes are now in eighth place with three points behind at number seven Burnley, but next weekend the game against Burnley is on the program and Leicester City can come up with the number seven in the rankings.
If Leicester City wants to be on par with Burnley, it is necessary to win from Newcastle United first. The results of Leicester City have been very good in the Premier League in recent weeks. The Foxes have been unbeaten for four games and also won their last two games. In addition to the 1-4 victory over the last team West Bromwich Albion, Leicester City also won 0-2 last weekend with a visit to Brighton & Hove Albion. The game against Brighton seemed to be heading for a goalless draw, but Vicente Iborra and Jamie Vardy managed to score their goals in the final minutes of the game.
Newcastle United:
At Newcastle United they are likely to maintain this season. The Magpies have already built up a seven point lead in the relegation zone and there are still so many clubs between Newcastle United and the relegation places in the rankings that it must be really crazy if The Magpies really are in danger. If Newcastle United will also be active in the Premier League next season, it is partly thanks to manager Rafael Benítez. The Spaniard does not always let his team play an attractive game, but always manages to score points with Newcastle United.
The fact that Newcastle United is currently doing so well has to do with the points that The Magpies recently caught against the competitors. Southampton got a 3-0 knock from Newcastle United a couple of weeks ago and last weekend Huddersfield Town was also set aside by The Magpies. Ayoze Pérez managed to score the only goal of the game ten minutes before time and the Spanish attacker gave Newcastle United three main points.
PREDICTION: Under 2.5 goals @ 1.80
