Leicester to continue good form against Newcastle
4596

On Friday night, Leicester host Newcastle at the King Power Stadium, as the visitors attempt to secure their Premier League status for next season.

Leicester have hit form of late winning five of their last six Premier League matches, including their last four outings. In fact, new boss Brendan Rodgers has won four of his five games in charge of Leicester. Their recent good run of form has seen Leicester rise to seventh place in the table.

Last time out the team from the Midlands won 4-1 at rock bottom Huddersfield, which means the home side has now scored at least two goals in their last four league matches.

The Foxes have won their last three Premier League games on home soil, after losing their previous four home games. The side from the Midlands has also scored at least two goals in their last three matches at the King Power Stadium.

Newcastle are currently seven points clear of the relegation zone in the Premier League after a poor recent run of form.

The Magpies have suffered defeat in three of their last five league outings, including last time out when they suffered a 1-0 defeat at Crystal Palace.

The team from the north east have struggled to keep out the opposition of late, conceding at least two goals in four of their last five league games.

Newcastle have been poor on their travels in recent months in the Premier League, failing to win in eight away matches, while suffering five defeats. The Magpies have failed to keep a clean sheet in eight away matches while conceding at least two goals in their last three games.

Forebet predicts that Leicester will record a victory in a low scoring match to enhance their chances of sealing seventh spot in the top-flight.
