Newcastle vs Leicester Prediction & Betting tips
Newcastle United and Leicester City meet twice this season in a competitive context, but The Magpies and The Foxes are also linked in the second round of the Carabao Cup.
Newcastle United:
After a 0-1 defeat to Arsenal and a 3-1 loss visit to Norwich City, Newcastle United was looking for the first points last weekend and they got there. On Sunday, Tottenham Hotspur was the opponent of The Magpies in North London and the formation of Steve Bruce recorded a 0-1 win over Spurs. The only goal of the match came after a half hour of football in the name of record purchase Joelinton. Newcastle United alone does not make much progress with the 0-1 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, because The Magpies are in 19th place in the Premier League despite the victory. Only Watford, with zero points from three games, is even worse than the Bruce team.
At Newcastle United they have no best memories of the Carabao Cup tournament in recent years. Last season, The Magpies were eliminated by Nottingham Forest (3-1) in the first round they entered and Newcastle United was coincidentally eliminated by Nottingham Forest (2-3) the year before. While Newcastle United has won the FA Cup six times before, The Magpies clearly have a harder time in the Carabao Cup, although logically that is not always the priority for a club like Newcastle United. In the run-up to the cup duel with Leicester City, Newcastle United has to deal with a lot of players with minor pains and the question is whether Bruce really wants to take risks with these players.
Leicester City:
Leicester City naturally became champion of England in 2016. The chance that The Foxes will ever win the Premier League is small, but Leicester City started the current season well. The Foxes also started the champion year perfectly and the rest is history. With five points from the first three games, we find Leicester City at the top of the Premier League. The Foxes started the season with draws against Wolverhampton (0-0) and Chelsea (1-1), after which Sheffield United was overrun last weekend: 1-2. On Bramall Lane, Jamie Vardy, born in Sheffield and a fan of Sheffield United, made the opening goal and Harvey Barnes was responsible for Leicester City’s 1-2 twenty minutes before the end.
At Leicester City they have good memories of the visits to St. James’ Park in recent years. The Foxes won their last three away games against Newcastle United, so it became 0-2 last season in favor of Leicester City by a utilized penalty kick by Jamie Vardy and a hit by Harry Maguire, who has since left for Manchester United. Just like at Newcastle United, some changes are expected on the side of Leicester City on Wednesday evening, but strikingly enough, the English press thinks players like Jamie Vardy, James Maddison and Youri Tielemans will just be in the Brendan Rodgers base team.
