Leicester vs Newcastle prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 7, 2025
The 31st round of the English Championship will conclude on Monday at the King Power Stadium, where Leicester will host Newcastle. I propose a bet on the outcome of this clash with good chances of success.
Match preview
Leicester continues to sink into crisis, suffering another defeat, and once again failing to find the back of the net. This time, Ruud van Nistelrooy's team fell to Manchester City with a crushing 0-2 scoreline. This marks the club's seventh consecutive Premier League loss.
Particular attention should be paid to the stats, which show that Leicester conceded first in 25 of 30 matches this season, highlighting serious issues in game organization and defense. Currently, Leicester sits in 19th place in the standings, trailing the safety of the 17th position by a whole 12 points.
Newcastle has demonstrated excellent results in recent matches, securing two consecutive victories. Eddie Howe's men managed to snatch an important away win against West Ham (1-0) and then overcame Brentford at home with a narrow 2-1 scoreline.
Notably, the Magpies have not drawn in their last 15 Premier League encounters, securing 10 wins and suffering 5 defeats, which underscores their determination to win every game. Currently, Newcastle occupies sixth place in the table, but the gap to the Champions League zone is minimal — just two points.
Probable lineups
- Leicester: Mads Hermansen – James Justin, Victor Kristiansen, Wout Faes, Luke Thomas, Conor Coady – Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumare, Bilal El Khannous – Jamie Vardy, Patson Daka
- Newcastle: Nick Pope – Kieran Trippier, Valentino Livramento, Fabian Schar, Dan Burn – Jacob Murphy, Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali – Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes, Joelinton

Prediction
Leicester is in crisis and even a draw seems difficult for them. We believe a motivated Newcastle will secure the win. In their last seven away matches, the Magpies have secured five victories. Our bet for the match is "Newcastle to win with a handicap (-1.0)" at odds of 1.80.
