For Newcastle United vs Leicester City prediction, we way Newcastle will win the match 3-0 comfortably and this is why. The Magpies have won five of their last six home matches including Thursday’s 4-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion. Eddie Howe’s side need a win over the Foxes to book their place in the Champions League next season and hence we’ve backed them to win the tie, despite Leicester’s urgent need of points to avoid relegation.
Because Leicester City are shambles in defence, we predict Newcastle United to score at least three goals before the final whistle. The Magpies scored at least three goals in three of their last four home matches, including Thursday’s 4-1 win over Brighton.
Newcastle United are one win away from finishing in the top four following Thursday’s massive 4-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion. If the Magpies beat Leicester City on Monday night, they will definitely play in the Champions League next season, irrespective of whether both Manchester United and Liverpool win their remaining games. They have three wins from their last five PL games and are in 3rd with 69 points after 36 games.
Leicester City lost their last two matches and are on course to get relegated to the Championship next season. Leicester need to win their last two matches to stand a chance to remain in the top flight for next season. However, their horrid form this season means they are more likely to get relegated.
