Premier League Odds: Newcastle-Leicester prediction, odds, and pick

Newcastle was struggling for most of the season. They were taken over by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund. After that, they have improved and are currently 15th in the Premier League. Leicester are 9th after finishing last season 5th.

Newcastle has been very good since the calendar turned to 2022. Newcastle has eight wins, two draws, and three defeats. The three losses came to Tottenham Hotspur, Chelsea, or Everton. They are heavily reliant on their defense this season. Their 5-1 defeat to Spurs doubled their goals conceded in 2022, as they only allowed five past Martin Dubravka before that game. Leicester will be tough, due to the fact that Jamie Vardy still has a great nose for goal.

Leicester came close to Champions League football last season but had to settle for the Europa League. Leicester has been playing good football in the past few weeks. Newcastle won just one out of their last four games. The Foxes have a lot of talent, despite missing Ndidi and possibly Vardy. Newcastle have plenty of options, with James Madison, Harvey Barnes, Patson Daka, and Ayoze Perez available.

Newcastle and Leicester are playing each other in the Premier League. Newcastle are further from the relegation zone than Leicester. The game will be a tough one. Back Newcastle to win. Back Leicester to finish the season strong.
