- Leicester City haven’t played a single 0-0 game.
- Newcastle United have the fewest points (3) away in Premier League
These are hectic days for the host team, as they played only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was an away game at Napoli, so at least Leicester are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Leicester City form and stats
3-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Premier League numbers at home for Leicester City so far this season.
Leicester lost their last game at Napoli after a 2-3 scoreline. James Maddison (midfield was the top team player in that game with a rating of 7.4/10. Maddison hit the woodwork once, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 30 successful passes (of 35 total).
A Premier League defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Aston Villa.The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Leicester's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won four matches, drawn one and lost one.
Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Premier League game versus Tottenham Hotspur in only four days. This game is also played here at King Power Stadium.
A decent goal production from Leicester in their home games so far, with 11 goals from 7 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 12 goals have been conceded.
Newcastle United form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Newcastle United so far with only 3 points returning home. The records show 0-3-4 (win-draw-lose).
Newcastle had fun at their own home (King Power Stadium) last time out, beating Burnley 1-0. Wilson scored. Midfielder Jonjo Shelvey was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.84. Shelvey hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 35 successful passes (of 43 total).
A 1-1 draw was the result before that, hosting Norwich City.As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Newcastle playing away, we found four games. Results were one away win, zero draws and three home wins.
The schedule is very tough for Newcastle now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Premier League game at Liverpool is waiting in only four days.
The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Newcastle's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 13 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
