- Leicester City is predicted to be a +0.5-goal home underdog against Newcastle.
- Newcastle United is 4-0 SU against promoted sides so far this season.
- My Leicester City vs. Newcastle prediction is Newcastle Over 1.5 Goals.
To close out the weekend Premier League action, Leicester City hosts Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium.
Despite switching managers, Leicester’s poor results have continued recently. Not including Wednesday’s trip to Man City, the Foxes have dropped six games on the bounce.
Newcastle, prior to the international break, captured a League Cup title and sit in prime position to earn a European spot. As it stands, the Magpies sit two points adrift of the top four.
Check out the Premier League odds and my Leicester City vs. Newcastle prediction.

Leicester City vs. Newcastle Prediction
Based on Newcastle’s attacking record against bad defenses, my Leicester City vs. Newcastle prediction is Newcastle Over 1.5 Goals (-190).
The juice is a touch much to lay on its own, though, so I’ll pair this in a parlay with Over 1.5 Goals in West Ham vs. Bournemouth. That brings the price down to -116.
Newcastle enjoyed an attacking renaissance recently compared to the first half of the season.
Eddie Howe’s side has cleared this number in 10 of their previous 15 fixtures, irrespective of opponent defensive quality.
Across the entire season, Newcastle finished over 1.5 goals in 13 of 28. They’ve also cleared 2.5 goals on their own eight times this year, all of which came since November 10.
In the reverse fixture against Leicester City, Newcastle blitzed the Foxes’ defense for four goals off 3.8 expected goals, their best underlying performance of the season.
Leicester, which outranks only Southampton in post-shot xGA, has struggled to keep opponents under this benchmark.
The Foxes surrendered at least two goals in 22 of 29 games, with only a single clean sheet this season.
At home, Leicester actually perform worse. Sample their last 11 home matches, and bettors will find 10 of their last 11 opponents have cleared 1.5 goals.
Pair those data points with the potential return of Anthony Gordon for Newcastle, and I like the visitors to clear 1.5 goals on Monday.
