On Saturday afternoon, Leicester host Newcastle at the King Power Stadium, as the visitors look to move closer to securing their Premier League status.
Leicester heads into this clash with hopes of a top-seven finish and a potential place in the Europa League next season. Claude Puel’s side are currently eighth-place in the table three points behind seventh-place Burnley.
The team from the Midlands are now four games unbeaten in the top-flight, having recorded two wins and two draws. Last time out the home side won 2-0 at Brighton.
Leicester City’s most recent league games have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four league outings.
The Foxes are unbeaten in their last six Premier League games on home soil. However, their last three home games in the top-flight have finished all square.
Those recent home games in the league have been low scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their last four games at the King Power Stadium.
Newcastle United has started moving away from the relegation zone of late. The Magpies are now seven points clear of the bottom three, although 18th place Southampton have a game in-hand.
A run of just one defeat in their last seven league games has enhanced the visitor’s chances of staying up this season. Rafa Benitez’s side has also won three of their last five league games.
The visitors have struggled for away wins in recent weeks though, as they have failed win in their last four games on their travels, picking up just two draws and suffering two defeats.
The Magpies will need to tighten up at the back to get a result in the Midlands, as the side from the north east have conceded at least two goals in three of their last four away games.
Forebet predicts that the home side will enhance their chances of claiming a Europa League spot with a victory in a low scoring clash.
