Newcastle Utd – Leicester For the 37th and penultimate matchday of the English Premier League, Newcastle welcomes Leicester to St James Park.
Impressive Newcastle last Thursday in a postponed match when he accepted Brighton, crushed her opponent 4-1. From the first minutes she took the initiative and imposed her dominance, while gaining a two-goal lead in the first half with goals in the 22nd minute and in the last phase before the break. In the 51st minute, she accepted the reduction, but she was not affected, she continued to be better and with 2 more goals in the last minutes, she gave dimensions of triumph to her victory.
So Newcastle returned to winning ways after 2 matches, remained in 3th place with 69 points - as many as United - and now she needs a point to mathematically ensure her participation in the groups of the next Champions League.
Under the circumstances Leicester last Monday in the home match against Liverpool, easily defeated 3-0. He was not able to look competitive at any moment of the match and practically everything ended when he conceded two goals in a few minutes in the first half (33', 36'). Her bad appearance continued in the second half as well, with a natural consequence of conceding a third goal in the 71' and shaping the final result.
Now Leicester are looking for a breakthrough to stay in the division, after 36 matches is in 19th and penultimate position with 30 points, against 18th and inside the relegation zone Leeds and minus 3 from 17th - and lifeline - Everton on 33 points.
Newcastle are coming off a big win that brings them a breath away from securing their big goal and go into the clash with morale high in their final home game of the year. Leicester, on the other hand, will only maintain their hopes of staying with a win - with a loss tonight they are relegated - having on the positive side that for the time being they are ahead of Everton in terms of chances. Newcastle's quality and ease of scoring and Leicester's need to win could lead to a high-tempo, high-scoring encounter.
Tip: Newcastle – Leicester Over 3,5 goals with odds of 2.20
