Newcastle take on the visitors Leicester in the quarterfinal match of English Football League Cup. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 10th at St. James Park (Newcastle).
Newcastle continue to claim the title of the main breakthrough of this season. On the other hand, it showed excellent results in the 2nd round of the last draw, and if it weren't for the disastrous starting half, the Magpies would already be playing at least in European competitions. On the other hand, they are so focused on the domestic arena, and continue to make the most of the simple but powerful combination of Eddie Howe's talents as a coach and the financial ability of investors from Saudi Arabia. Having confidently spent the starting segment and gone on vacation 3rd in the table, in winter the “black and white” do not slow down. Yes, they failed to score against Leeds and played 0-0. But then the same score was repeated with Premier League leaders Arsenal, extending their unbeaten streak to 15 matches in a row. All the more shocking were 1-2 with a modest “Sheffield Wednesday”, with a double Josh Windass.

Leicester still cannot show a decent level of football this season on a stable basis. It seems that quite recently it was a strong team that seriously fought for the 4th place in the Premier League, took trophies (the Cup and the Super Cup of England) and played well in international tournaments. And then suddenly only 8th place in the last Premier League draw! And, most importantly, now the results are only worse. Of course, after a disastrous start, with a draw against Bournemouth in the 1st round and a series of defeats, it turned out to add in October-November. Often winning, the wards of Brendan Rodgers were able not only to break away from the bottom of the standings, but also to rise to the middle there ... And, perhaps, this calmed them down now. Indeed, in the winter, frankly, little happened - more precisely, there was a confident, 3-0, victory over the modest “MK Dons” in the last round of the League Cup. After that, they lost in the Premier League just to Newcastle, and then to Liverpool (due to a couple of own goals), and even to Fulham. And only with the modest “Gillingham” in the cup it turned out to finally win – Iheanacho scored the only goal.
Newcastle have won 3 out of 4 head-to-head matches. But if in the spring he pulled out a 2-1 victory in the very end - Bruno Guimaraes scored a double in the 95th minute, then on Christmas Day, December 26, there were already a solid 3-0 at King Power. We don’t expect Newcastle to allow the 2nd misfire in a row. And Leicester, although they won in the cup, were not at all impressive. We recommend betting that the Magpies will be able to win this match.
Prediction for the match: Newcastle to win.
