Newcastle vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath in Premier League Predictions
A stuttering Newcastle United will be looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they welcome Leicester City to St James’ Park on Saturday. The Magpies are now 12th in the league standings with 20 points, while the Foxes are six points behind them in 16th place. Check out our match prediction below!
Newcastle have only managed one win in their last seven Premier League home games against this opponent (W1 D1 L5), though both times they avoided defeat were with Eddie Howe at the helm. Leicester have won six Premier League matches against the Magpies - more than they have versus any other opponent. Notably, five of those wins came in their last seven visits to St James’ Park.
Despite the recent history, the hosts are inserted as short-priced favourites in this one, but can the visitors muster up a plan to upset the odds? Let’s get into the key stats and try to find out.

Newcastle - Leicester: Form Analysis
Newcastle United come into this match off the back of suffering their heaviest defeat of the season last week when they were thrashed 4-2 by Brentford on the road.
That result extended the Magpies’ current winless run to four in a row (W0 D2 L2), while it was the third time in that period that they conceded two or more goals in a match.
The hosts will now return to their home patch, but their record at this venue has been poor of late, with just one win in their last five (W1 D2 L2). They are now aiming to avoid a third straight home game without victory.
Newcastle have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five Premier League matches!
Meanwhile, Leicester City will arrive in Newcastle upon Tyne with confidence after pulling off a dramatic late comeback to salvage a point in a 2-2 draw against Brighton last week.
With that, the Foxes have now opened a five-point gap between themselves and the dotted line and have scored 21 goals this season - the second-most of any team in the bottom half of the table.
On the road though, the visitors have only managed one win in seven matches this season (W1 D2 L4), while they have yet to keep a clean sheet and are winless in their last three.

Newcastle & Leicester Squad Analysis
Callum Wilson has only made four substitute appearances for Newcastle this season, and the England international is now set for another spell on the sidelines.
The 32-year-old striker was reported to have felt a problem when he came on against the Bees last week and scans later revealed a hamstring strain that will keep him out until February.
Wilson adds to an already lengthy casualty list which currently features the likes of Jamaal Lascelles, Emil Krafth and Sven Botman, while Joe Willock is flagged as a major doubt.
Alexander Isak and Jamie Vardy have both scored in each of their last two games!
Leicester City also have a fair few squad concerns at present, including three long-term absentees in Abdul Fatawu, Ricardo Pereira and Jakub Stolarczyk. The trio are only expected to return in the New Year.
Boubakary Soumare is suspended after crossing the yellow card threshold against the Seagulls, while the Frenchman’s midfield partner Wilfred Ndidi is a doubt owing to a thigh injury.
Harry Winks and Odsonne Edouard are also listed as questionable for this weekend’s trip.

Our Newcastle vs Leicester Prediction
After that painful defeat to Brentford last time out, Newcastle slipped to their worst league position this season, and the pressure is mounting on Eddie Howe to get a few positive results, quickly.
The Magpies are expected to come out guns blazing this week, but the Foxes are a plucky group, unbeaten in their last two, and have only been shut out once in the league this season. Therefore, our Newcastle United vs Leicester City prediction is both teams to score.
