The match

Leicester City (seventh, 47 points) will be chasing their fifth Premier League win on the trot for the first time since April 2017, when they take on a wavering Newcastle United (15th, 35 points) this Friday. The Foxes have settled down to the reign of Brendan Rodgers with four straight wins, although two of them were against relegation-threatened sides. They are now odds-on favourites to finish in the top-seven, although Wolverhampton Wanderers are level on points having played a game lesser. The surge in form is evident in their home stretch too, with the Foxes winning three consecutive matches, their best run since a five-match winning run between Feb – May 2017. Newcastle start this match seven points above the bottom-three, with five matches left in the season. A fairly good buffer and a good chance to beat the drop, but Rafael Benitez’s side have been struggling to hold their end up with three losses in five league games (W1 D1 L3). With just 31 goals, only the bottom three sides have scored fewer league goals than Newcastle, while their defensive record of 43 goals conceded is bettered only by seven clubs. Playing on the road, Newcastle have failed to win in their last eight league trips (D3 L5).

Key Statistics

There have been over 2.5 match goals scored in seven of Leicester City’s last eight league games.
Leicester City have scored at least two goals in each of their last four league games.
Newcastle United have lost six of the last seven matches against Leicester City (W1 L6) in all competitions.

The bet of our experts

While Leicester City have been all about up and rising, Newcastle United continue to keep their fans on the tenterhooks. There is no visible threat of relegation yet, but if the visitors are looking to pick up points from this match then they are in for a shock. The Foxes should hold their own and continue their dream run.
