The curtain falls on Matchday 37 of the Premier League next Monday with a crucial game, since Newcastle vs Leicester will clash in a desperate search for three points.
Newcastle could secure its return to the Champions League following its convincing 4-1 victory over Brighton last week, while Leicester is on the brink of relegation after a 0-3 thrashing by Liverpool.
It’s worth noting that this will be the third Newcastle vs Leicester encounter this season, with Newcastle coming out victorious in both matches – a 0-3 win in Matchday 17, and a 2-0 triumph in the Carabao Cup quarterfinals.

Betting on Newcastle United Football Club
On Monday, a victory is all that the Newcastle needs to seal its return to the Champions League after a 20-year absence.
The Magpies are currently in third place in the standings with 69 points, just four points ahead of Liverpool in fifth place. Therefore, with just two games left to play, a win at home would secure Newcastle’s place in the top club tournament.
This is a well-deserved reward for Eddie Howe’s team, which not only has the second-best defense in the Premier League with only 32 goals conceded, but it has also lost only twice in the last 12 matches. Besides, it is fourth in goals scored in the league with 67.
Furthermore, as hosts, Newcastle has only lost two of its 18 matches, and only Manchester United has conceded fewer goals at home than the 14 conceded by Newcastle.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Nick Pope; Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schär, Sven Botman, Dan Burn; Joelinton, Bruno Guimarães, Joe Willock; Callum Wilson, Alexander Isak, Miguel Almirón.
Betting on Leicester City
After coming close to glory and winning the Premier League title seven seasons ago, Leicester finds itself on the brink of relegation to the Championship with just two games left to play.
At this point, it would be well-deserved, since the Foxes have only managed one win in the last 14 matches, drawing three times during that period. This poor performance puts the team in 19th place in the standings with 30 points, two points behind Everton, which is currently in a relegation-safe position.
To make matters worse, Dean Smith’s team has a serious problem, having conceded the second-highest number of goals in the entire league, with 67. This number has overshadowed its 49 goals scored, which is a decent tally for a team that is on the verge of relegation.
When it comes to its away form, Leicester’s sixth-highest number of goals scored in this condition (28) hasn’t helped the team much, as it has gone seven games without a win, and its 41 goals conceded away is the second-highest in the league.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Daniel Iversen; Timothy Castagne, Wout Faes, Çaglar Söyüncü, Luke Thomas; Youri Tielemans, Wilfred Ndidi, Boubakary Soumaré; James Maddison, Jamie Vardy, Harvey Barnes.
JefeBet Prediction
Although a Newcastle victory is expected this coming Monday, the match between Newcastle vs Leicester promises plenty of goals.
The Magpies are on a hot streak in front of the net, having scored 19 goals in the last six matches, but their defense has conceded at least one goal in five of those six games.
Meanwhile, Leicester is one of the teams that has conceded the most goals in the Premier League, both at home and away, but its offense has also performed well throughout the season.
In addition, in seven of the last eight Newcastle vs Leicester clashes, the scoreboard has shown at least three total goals. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict a thrilling match at St. James Park.
Prediction: Over (NEW 3 – LEI 1).
