Leicester vs Newcastle: Top Free Betting Tips

Newcastle have been exceptional this season and we want to see if they are still that good. Here are our predictions.

Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals

This is a difficult match to predict because of the forms of both teams and their recent matches. It is a fact that every single game between them in recent years ended with less than 2.5 goals. All five most recent fixtures. However, Leicester and Newcastle have been unbelievable defensively and they almost never concede goals. Leicester kept a clean sheet in all five most recent games; Newcastle did it in four out of five. We expect a difficult match here.

Match Result Prediction: Draw

There is a good chance that this match will end in a draw even though Newcastle are the much stronger team on paper. They have just a single defeat this season, which is unbelievable, but the fact is that they also have a ton of draws. Most games have been close when it comes to the scoreline and with Leicester's recent form, we expect a draw here.

Correct Score Prediction: 0:0 Draw

Betting on a 0:0 draw is always difficult because it is hard to believe that a match like this one could not have goals. But with two extremely strong defensive teams, it is quite possible. Newcaslte are known for their 1:0/0:1 wins and it usually takes them a lot of time to score a goal. If Leicester play their game and defend like before, this could easily be a 0:0 draw. However, you can also opt for the 1:1 alternative.

Leicester vs Newcastle: Form, Recent Games, and News

Leicester Preview

Leicester had the worst possible start to a campaign but after ten rounds, they would a way out of the hole and are now one of the teams in the best form. Or at least, they were before the World Cup started. They had four wins in the last five games and generally, the team looked a lot stronger. They did not concede a goal in the majority of their games and we look forward to seeing how they perform after a month with almost no football.

Newcastle Preview

Everyone new that Newcastle will grow into one of the best teams within a few seasons but nobody expected them to be this good this soon. The team has just a single defeat in 15 games to date and the best defense in the entire league. Their goal difference is 29:11 and they almost never concede goals. They are on a streak of seven wins in a row in the Premier League, as well as 14 games unbeaten overall in all tournaments.
