Leicester vs Newcastle United

Current streaks

Recent form

Leicester

Leicester City's recent form has been nothing short of abysmal, with the Foxes enduring a dismal eight-match losing streak across all competitions. Their current position of 19th in the Premier League table reflects their dire situation, having amassed a meagre 17 points from 30 games. The team's offensive woes are particularly striking, as they have failed to find the back of the net in their last six matches, scoring a total of zero goals whilst conceding 14. This barren run includes a heavy 4-0 defeat at home to Brentford, highlighting their defensive frailties. Leicester have also struggled to keep clean sheets, with their last coming an astonishing 26 games ago. With 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals, the team's performances have been characterised by low-scoring affairs, further emphasising their lack of attacking prowess. The Foxes' current form paints a bleak picture, with the team seemingly unable to halt their alarming slide down the table.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United are currently enjoying a strong run of form, having won their last three matches across all competitions. The Magpies have shown resilience in their recent fixtures, bouncing back from consecutive losses to secure victories against tough opponents like Liverpool and Brentford. Their attacking prowess has been particularly noteworthy, with the team scoring 10 goals in their last six games, including a thrilling 4-3 victory over Nottingham Forest. Despite conceding nine goals during this period, Newcastle have managed to maintain a positive goal difference. The team's ability to score consistently is evident, with both teams finding the net in 67% of their recent matches and over 2.5 goals being scored in two-thirds of these games. Currently sitting 6th in the Premier League with 50 points from 29 games, Newcastle United are demonstrating their potential to challenge for European qualification.

Recent home/away form

Leicester

Leicester City's recent home form has been alarmingly poor, with the Foxes suffering a dismal run of five consecutive Premier League defeats at the King Power Stadium. This woeful streak has seen them fail to score a single goal in their last five league matches at home, conceding 13 in the process. The only bright spot in their recent home fixtures was a resounding 6-2 victory over Queens Park Rangers in the FA Cup, which stands out as a particularly high-scoring game. However, this win has done little to mask their league struggles, as Leicester have kept no clean sheets in their last six home games and are currently languishing in 19th position in the Premier League table. Their defensive frailties are evident, with an average of 2.5 goals conceded per game across their last six home matches, contributing to a concerning goal difference of -9.

Newcastle United

Newcastle United have shown mixed form away from home in their recent fixtures, with a current run of two consecutive away victories following a pair of losses. The Magpies have been particularly impressive in cup competitions, securing wins against Liverpool in the League Cup and Birmingham City in the FA Cup. Their goal-scoring prowess has been evident, netting nine times in their last six away matches, including a high-scoring 3-2 victory at Birmingham. However, Newcastle's defence has been somewhat leaky, conceding 10 goals in these games, with a notable 4-0 thrashing at Manchester City. Despite this, they've managed to keep one clean sheet and have seen over 2.5 goals in 67% of these matches, suggesting their away games tend to be entertaining affairs.
