Leicester is in second place in the Premier League. In 20 matches held, the Blues managed to earn 42 points. They defeated the opponent in 13 meetings, tied three times and failed in four matches. To date, the goal difference is 43:19. The Foxes defeated West Ham in the last match (2:1). They scored 19 points in 10 away rounds. Let’s recall that in the quarterfinal round of the English League Cup, Leicester gained victory over Everton (3:2).
Since 1894, clubs have played 125 head-to-head matches. Newcastle United gained victory in 52 meetings, Leicester won in 45 matches, and 28 meetings ended with the same score. The Magpies show a very good game at home, but as the match with Everton showed, the team cannot compete with rivals of the top level, and the current Foxes are more solid than the Toffees. Bet: Leicester's victory.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win
