Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Newcastle United total goals: Over 1.5 — 1.99
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Both teams to score: YES — 1.66
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Newcastle to win in either half: YES — 1.6
There’s a chance that Newcastle could score at least two goals against Leicester City, given their recent form. The Magpies scored at least two goals in three of their last four Premier League matches and two of them came on the road, the same situation as their game against Leicester.
Newcastle United conceded at least one goal in two of their last five Premier League matches. They have a sound backline but of late, Leicester City have scored for fun. The Foxes have scored in five of their last six competitive matches, which gives rise to ideas that both teams are good going forward.
The Magpies have won in either half in each of their last five Premier League matches and for this reason, they are backed to repeat the same against Leicester City, who are in decent form as well.
The Foxes were one of the candidates to be relegated to the Championship, having endured a tough start to the season. However, they put out top performances in their recent games and for this reason, they are safe from the relegation zone.
“>Leicester City won four of their last five Premier League matches and occupy the 13th position with 17 points after 15 matches.
The Magpies headed into the World Cup break as the 3rd best team in the Premier League, having won their last five matches.
“>Newcastle United boast 30 points after 15 matches and are in the race to finish in the top-four, although the race is still a long way out.
Leicester City head into what would be a tough game against Newcastle United at home and thanks to their current form, they are somewhat evenly matched. The result could go either way but The Magpies are the favourites.
Should there be a winner at the King Power Stadium next week, then Newcastle United could likely win the tie 2-1. Both teams are decent at the back, hence goals might not exceed three.
The odds are in favour of the game ending with at least three goals but it’s safe to expect at least two goals.
