Monday action in the Premier League takes place at St James’ Park, as Newcastle United could secure their return to the Champions League. However, it is also a huge fixture for Leicester, as they must pick up something from their trip to Newcastle to remain in with a chance of avoiding relegation.
Before Betting On Newcastle vs Leicester
There will be an important match for both Newcastle and Leicester in the Premier League on Monday. The hosts will be looking for a vital point that will secure their Champions League qualification, while Leicester will desperately need something from this match ahead of the final weekend of the season.
The Magpies come into the match in solid form, as they have won three of their last five matches. Meanwhile, they have suffered just a single defeat over their previous five outings. Only Man City have lost fewer matches than the Toon this season, and they will be looking to complete a first league double over the Foxes since 1995-95.
It will be a massive game for Leicester, as defeat would leave them on the brink of relegation. The Foxes sit 19th in the standings, but a victory against Newcastle would see them move out of the bottom three on goal difference ahead of the final round of matches. But, they come into this match having lost their last two.
Leicester also has a poor record against Newcastle, as they have lost three of their last four against the Magpies. That comes after winning eight of their previous ten against Newcastle. But, the Foxes have struggled on the road in their final away match of the campaign in recent seasons, as they have failed to win in their last eight.

There’s no denying Leicester has the quality to put in a big performance on Monday, but we have seen little from the Foxes to suggest that they are capable of landing maximum points on Monday. Therefore, the preference remains for the Toon to secure their Champions League qualification with maximum points.
