Leicester vs Newcastle: betting tip (cf 4.40) and bets on the English Premier League match

Current form

Leicester are absolutely the worst team in the Premier League at the moment, both in terms of current results and the quality of the game. In the previous six matches in the championship, the foxes did not score a single point, and they never even managed to hit the opponents' goal, they suffered six defeats with a dry score. The gap from the saving 17th position is 15 points, there are very few left to lose even the theoretical chances of maintaining a residence permit. There is a high probability that with such a disastrous game in the coming rounds, the foxes will join Southampton, who have already officially lost all chances to stay in the Premier League for at least one more season.

Leicester's last match was away against Manchester City. In the opening 29 minutes, the townspeople scored two goals, had a few more good chances, but did not use them. Rood van Nistelrooy's men showed absolutely nothing in attack, although they had to fight back and do something ahead. The Foxes didn't land a single shot on target, had only 27% possession of the ball, and in fact didn't create a single more or less real moment. Before that, there was a 0-3 home defeat against Manchester United, where at least they scored a goal, but the implementation failed.

Disqualifications and injuries

Fatawu and Souttar will miss the match due to injuries. Vestergaard's entry into the field is questionable.

Current form

Before the break for the national team matches, Newcastle won its first serious trophy in its new history. The Magpies defeated the formidable Liverpool 2-1 in the League Cup final. On a wave of success and a positive attitude after the break, they managed to win on their own field against Burntford in the Premier League (2:1). The victory turned out to be difficult, until the 74th minute the score on the scoreboard was 1:1, Tonali scored the decisive goal.

By the upcoming match, Newcastle is only in seventh place in the table, but the density is very serious. A victory over an outsider today will allow Eddie Howe's team to match Chelsea's points from fourth place. Moreover, the magpies still have a match in reserve (against Crystal Palace) in comparison with competitors for a place in the top 4.

Newcastle is playing at a high level away this season, scoring 24 points, which is the fifth highest score in the Premier League. The Magpies know very well how to play against Leicester, as they have won four of the previous five face-to-face matches, taking into account all the tournaments. In the first round game, they didn't even notice the foxes on the field at all – a crushing 4-0 victory.

Disqualifications and injuries

Botman and Hall definitely won't play today due to injuries. At the same time, a number of players have health problems: Gordon, Joel Clinton, Isak, Trippier, Target. The appearance of these players on the field is still questionable.

• At least three goals have been scored in eight of the previous ten forty Premier League matches.
• In seven of the last ten away matches in the Premier League, Newcastle have not conceded more than one goal.

Approximate line–up: Pope – Kraft, Cher, Bern, Livramento – Guimaraes, Tonali, Willock - Murphy, Wilson, Barnes.
