Newport County vs Leicester Prediction & Betting Tips - FA Cup
by Steve Ashfield | in FA Cup Predictions
League Two Newport County got to Wembley in last year's FA Cup tournament. They didn't get to the semi-finals or final but did manage to get a home draw against Tottenham earning them a replay at their opponents temporarary home ground This season has seen them have to beat two non-league teams to reach the third round. They won 2-0 away at the Metropolitan Police in the first round and then had to go to a replay to beat Wrexham. Newport County are 12th in League Two (three leagues below Leicester City) and are six points adrift of the play-off positions. They have no wins in their last four games and none in their last five league games Defending is a problem for them with 42 league goals conceded in 25 games and only two other teams have conceded more. Home form has seen them lose just twice in League Two, though one happened last week when losing 4-1 to Forest Green Rovers.
Leicester City reached the quarter finals of the Carabao Cup this season and would love to go further in the FA Cup. They are in good form at present with three wins in the last four including beating both Chelsea and Manchester City. They did lose 1-0 at home to Cardiff though so won't want to lose to another Welsh team. Leicester have won their last two away games, both by a 1-0 scoreline. Only one of their last six away games in the FA Cup have been lost. Leicester are the form team and even though they will leave some players out, they can still get the win here.

Our Newport County vs Leicester Prediction
Newport County will be looking to cause an upset but aren't in the best of form going into this game. They have defensive problems too and that doesn't bode well when up against a Premier League team. Leicester City have had some good wins of late and even with a weakened side can get a win here.
All tips are fully researched and given in good faith, but profits cannot be guaranteed.
