Command Analysis
Newcastle United
EnglandCurrent form
Newcastle had a three-game winning streak at the end of October and beginning of November, after which they slowed down considerably. The Magpies have not won a single game in the last four rounds of the Premier League. The only positive moment in this period was a 3-3 draw with Liverpool. Otherwise, there were only negatives, considering that the schedule was not the most difficult. Based on the results of matches with West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brentford, they managed to take only one point. The defense began to constantly fail, but four goals conceded by the Bees is clearly too much (2-4). Newcastle is only in 12th place in the league table, and Eddie Howe seat is increasingly shaky.
Disqualifications and injuries
Wilson, Lascelles, Kraft and Botman are all out with injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Newcastle have failed to win in the first half in four of their last five matches
- The Magpies have won just two of their last 11 Premier League games
Estimated line-up: Pope - Livramento, Scher, Burn, Hall - Tonali, Guimaraes, Joelinton - Murphy, Isak, Gordon.
Leicester City
EnglandCurrent form
The change of coach has clearly benefited Leicester. Under Ruud van Nistelrooy, the team has played two games, won at home against West Ham (3:1) and tied with Brighton (2:2). The result is solid, even if the Foxes were lucky in some places. Much is going well in attack, there are no problems with implementation. At the same time, not everything is perfect in defense, here the new coach still has a lot of work to do. In the tournament table, Leicester is only in 16th place, but the gap from the relegation zone is quite comfortable - five points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Soumare will not play due to disqualification. Stolarczyk, Pereira, Fatavu are injured. Winks and Ndidi are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Leicester have lost in the first half in four of their last five matches
- Both teams have scored in 14 of Leicester last 16 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Hermansen - Justin, Coady, Vestergaard, Christensen - Skipp, Choudhury - Ayew, Buonanotte, El Hannous - Vardy.

17.00Tip and bets
We believe that the most optimal bet in the upcoming game will be an exchange of goals scored. Newcastle and Leicester have obvious problems in defense, which are very difficult to solve in one fell swoop. Plus, the Magpies and Foxes have individually strong players in attack who are capable of creating and realizing a moment on their own.
Our prediction is both teams to score at odds of 1.80
Bet on the outcome
The bookmakers' odds are questionable, with Newcastle as the clear favourites. The Magpies have not won in four rounds in a row, and are not particularly stable, although they are capable of playing one particular match in terms of their potential. Leicester have perked up with the arrival of Ruud van Nistelrooy, have not lost in two rounds, and with a decent emotional upswing the team could well fight for points today.
The second bet is Leicester to win with an Asian handicap (+1.5) with odds of 2.14
Bet on corners
Undoubtedly, Newcastle will play first number on their home field, will spend a lot of time at the opponent goal. There is a high probability that the "magpies" will win with a margin on corners.
Prediction: Newcastle win on corners with a handicap of (-3.5) with odds of 1.81
