Leicester City hosts Newcastle United in round 35 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, May 7th at King Power Stadium (Leicester)
At the start of the 2020/2021 season, many experts and analysts predicted that Leicester City would not be able to stay in the TOP-4 following the results of the Premier League. Now we can say that the team has almost locked up a ticket to the group stage of the Champions League, which will bring the club substantial prize money from UEFA. The Foxes have practically completed the task for the season. There are four rounds left to play. And Leicester’s unbeaten streak within England lasts four matches in a row. Over the weekend, the Foxes failed to put the squeeze on Southampton, which was left with ten men. The match ended in a 1-1 draw. However, Leicester shows a quality game. Brendan Rogers cannot count only on defender James Justin and midfielder Harvey Barnes, who are injured.

Newcastle United is unstable. However, the team stepped up at the end of the season, as the relegation zone was extremely close. The Magpies took points from three representatives of the TOP-7. The unbeaten streak ended last weekend. The Black-and-Whites limply lost 0-2 to Arsenal at home, inflicting only one shot on target of the Gunners' goal. Now Newcastle is in the last saving place in the Premier League standings, having a 9-point advantage over the relegation zone. Steve Bruce has a lot more problems with the roster than his counterpart. The coach of Newcastle cannot count on as man as five key players, including regular goalkeeper Darlow and two defenders Schar and Lascelles.
Both teams need points, so we expect a goal-scoring match. The hosts want to guarantee themselves a place in the TOP-4 as soon as possible, and the visitors want to protect themselves from being relegated to the Championship. Head-to-head matches have turned out to be rich in goals lately. Two games of the previous season ended with a score of 5-0 and 3-0, and the first head-to-head match of the current season ended with a 2-1 score. All three games were won by Leicester City. The Foxes have already scored 61 goals in the Premier League, while the Magpies have managed to concede 56 goals. A top attack against the unreliable defense. The upcoming match should be spectacular.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.25 goals scored
