LiontipsNewcastle United vs Leicester City. Prediction and Betting Tips for English Premier League (April 17, 2022).
Command Analysis
Newcastle had a very slow start to the season. The first match in the FA Cup saw them eliminated by Cambridge United. The Magpies recorded their first victory in the Premier League only in December.
Under Eddie Howe, the team has strengthened their standings. After 31 matches, Newcastle sit in 15th place on the log with 34 points from eight victories and 10 draws. In the last game, the Magpies beat Wolverhampton (1:0) at home.
Howe won't be able to call upon the services of Wilson, Fraser, Hayden, Trippier, and Lewis.
Leicester City started the season with a victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield match, but the Foxes haven't had much success since then. For instance, the current holders of the FA Cup were knocked out of the tournament by the Championship residents Nottingham Forest.
Brendan Rogers' team is currently in 9th place in the Premier League table with 40 points from 29 games. After a draw against Manchester United (1:1), Leicester beat Crystal Palace (2:1) at home.
Ward, Ndidi, Bertrand and Vardyhave been ruled out of this game.
