Leicester City vs Newcastle United Prediction and Betting Tips | 7th April 2025
Leicester City host Newcastle United at the King Power Stadium in the Premier League on Monday, looking to end their horrid run of seven consecutive losses. It's been a miserable return to the top flight for the Foxes, who gained promotion back to the league after just a year in the Championship.
However, it increasingly looks like they are heading back into the second division this summer.
In 30 games so far, the 2015-16 Premier League champions have won just four times, while losing a staggering 21 games. They have accrued a meager 17 points and languish in 19th position in the league table, with only Southampton faring worse at this stage (10 points).
Head coach Steve Cooper was given the boot on 24 November with Ruud van Nistelrooy replacing him a week later. However, the Dutchman hasn't been able to anchor the sinking ship as Leicester continue to fumble.
Newcastle must be excited to face their opponents here, sensing a great opportunity to pick up their third league win in a row and perhaps move further up the charts. The Magpies are currently in seventh place with 50 points from 29 games, and won the Carabao Cup a few weeks ago against Liverpool in a stunning 2-1 victory.
