Leicester vs Newcastle: Preview and Prediction

Saturday 7th April 2018

England Premier League
Saturday 7th April 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: King Power Stadium

Match Preview:

Even though Leicester can’t replicate their amazing title success a couple of seasons ago they have actually had a very decent season. The Foxes are in 8^th place and are chasing down Burnley just 3 points in front of them. Form has been solid with no losses since being stuffed by Manchester City 5-1 at the beginning of February.

The Foxes are full of goals too and Jamie Vardy up front continues to impress. They have scored just six goals less than Chelsea and have 47 in total so far. At home they have lost 4 games from 15, but have drawn their last 3 games in a row.

Newcastle have recently beaten Southampton and Huddersfield, teams directly below them and therefore were incredibly important victories for the Magpies. They have 35 points and will be encouraged that they have lost just 1 game in their past five. It’s been a very mixed season for the club. Their away form will be worrying for fans where the club has gone 4 matches without a win and they have won just 3 matches from 15 games.
