Leicester City welcome the visitors Newcastle United in the English Premiere League – Round 29. The match will be held on Friday, April, 12th, at the King Power Stadium (Leicester).
Leicester City’s incredible move under Claudio Ranieri was followed by a painful crash. No other developments were possible, as in their championship season, the ‘Foxes’ made the most of themselves, featuring frugal performers (as per the Premiere League’s standards). When Craig Shakespeare headed the team, the fall stopped, and now the hosts keep their solid middleclassers’ status. The present season is tough for the side, especially given the club’s owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha died. The players сame together at some moment, but the results deteriorated soon. Anyways, Brendan Rodgers keeps it under control – Leicester won 3 latest clashes. They presently sit 8th in the standings, so, keep claiming the Europa League zone. The current manager has been reigning for about a month. We recall that Claude Puel was dismissed in light of the ‘Foxes’’ poor results. The team well received Rodgers; considering they hope for the Europa League, the management and the players look in one direction and move towards a common goal. There are no injured performers in Leicester’s squad now, so, Rodgers may resort to his key men.

Despite Newcastle United’ local failures, the manager Rafael Benitez is content with his players. This calendar year, the ‘Magpies’ even managed Manchester City, which proves they are plucky. Newcastle practically solidified their place in the league for the next campaign. They currently sit 14th with a tally of 35 points attained in 31 rounds. This season, the side look rather confident at home, especially lately – they won 5 latest clashes held on their soil. Benitez brought the forward Jose Salomon Rondon’s talent to light – his effectiveness has been impressive throughout the campaign. Miguel Almiron was probably expected more though. Actually, he joined just in winter, so, he did not adapt to the local football yet. The man looks active on the pitch but cannot fit into the system properly so far.
The opponents’ first-term meeting on Newcastle’s side, held in September, ended in the ‘Magpies’’ 0:2 loss. In the first half-time, Jamie Vardy scored a penalty, and after the break, Jacob Maguire salted a game away. Though hosted the game, Newcastle couldn’t oppose Leicester anyhow – the visitors then bettered in organized attacks, pressing, and attempts on target. The outcome was fair. After the ‘Foxes’’ comeback to the elite division in 2014, the sides met 8 times. Leicester celebrated 6 wins, Newcastle did 2. Interestingly, 3 latest head-to-heads saw wins of the travelling outfits. In terms of motivation, Leicester surpass the guests. Rodgers’ men seriously look to take the 7th tier and reach the Europa League. If the manager succeeds in this, he will be much welcomed by the team’s fans who adored Ranieri a few seasons back. Newcastle look worse both in the attack and the defense; moreover, they struggle on the road lately.
Prediction for the match: Leicester City to win home.
