Newcastle United Leicester City betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Given what we discussed earlier, the possibility of a match with several goals is great. By having a squad with more individual values, the visiting team should dominate and have the best chances to score goals, setting aside a possible surprise on the part of the opponent. Newcastle should propose a more offensive game, trying their best to return to the Premier League victories. Having said that and taking into account these factors, betting in favor of the "Over 2.5 Goals ’market is the best option.

Preview
Newcastle United and Leicester City meet at St. James' Park, in a match for the 17th round of the Premier League. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 3 wins and 1 draw in the last 4 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 01‑01‑2020, in a match for the Premier League, Leicester City won by (0‑3). The goals of the match were scored by H. Choudhury (87' ), J. Maddison (39' ) and Ayoze Pérez (36' ) for Leicester City. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Leicester City presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Newcastle

The home team is currently in the 14th position of the league, with 19 points won, after 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Manchester City, by (2‑0). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Liverpool, by (0‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses in away matches, with 22 goals scored and 26 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 23 conceded. In the last 8 home league matches Newcastle United has a record of 3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 11 points out of 24 possible. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 7 of the last 8 for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches for this competition, and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 10 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 5 of their 13 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Newcastle United's squad starts for this match with a draw, 0-0, in the reception to Liverpool, making it the fourth straight match without winning in this Premier League. In this match against Leicester City, coach Steve Bruce should keep the team in 5-4-1, with Callum Wilson being the team's most advanced player: this player is the club's scorer with 8 goals scored. Miguel Almirón assumes great importance in Newcastle's midfield, being responsible for creating and organizing the offensive process. For this match the home team does not have Isaac Hayden, punished, as well as Paul Dummett and Ryan Fraser, these with physical problems. Jamaal Lascelles and Allan Saint-Maximin are quarantined.

Confirmed Lineup: Karl Darlow, Ciaran Clark, Federico Fernández, Fabian Schär, DeAndre Yedlin, Matt Ritchie, Matthew Longstaff, Miguel Almirón, Sean Longstaff, Joelinton, Callum Wilson.
Coach: E. Howe.

Analysis Leicester

The away team is currently in the 3rd position of the league, with 29 points won, after 9 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses. In the penultimate match, they tied in a home match against Manchester United, by (2‑2). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Crystal Palace, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 26 goals scored and 23 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 21 goals scored and 17 conceded. In the last 8 away league matches Leicester City has a record of 6 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss, so they have won 19 points out of 24 possible. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (3 out of 8 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 16 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 2. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 12 of their 29 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

Leicester City starts for this match with a draw, 1-1, in the trip to the Crystal Palace ground, making it the third consecutive match without losing in the Premier League: the only goal of the team was signed by Harvey Barnes. In this match against Newcastle, the coach Brendan Rodgers should keep the team in 4-3-3, privileging the maintenance of the ball possession and the organized attacks through the corridors: Ayoze Pérez and Harvey Barnes should compose the wings of the team. Jamie Vardy is the "foxes" scorer with 11 goals scored. For this match the visiting team doesn't count on Ricardo Pereira, punished, and still has doubts on Wesley Fofana, James Maddison and Cengiz Under.

Confirmed Lineup: Kasper Schmeichel, Timothy Castagne, Jonny Evans, Youri Tielemans, Harvey Barnes, Marc Albrighton, James Maddison, Wilfred Ndidi, James Justin, Wesley Fofana, Jamie Vardy.
Coach: B. Rodgers.
