Newcastle United would be aiming for three points that would secure them a place in the Champions League for the first time in 20 years when they play host to Leicester City on Monday night.
The Magpies go into Monday's game with plenty of confidence after a 4-1 win over Brighton that ended a run of two games without a win. When it comes to home games, only Man City, Liverpool and Man United have a better record than Eddie Howe's men this season. They have won five of their last six home games, and considering what's at stake for them, anything other than a home win would be a surprise.
With just two matchdays to go, Leicester City, on the other hand, are fighting for survival in the Premier League. Not only have the Foxes lost their last two matches, but they have also conceded at least three goals in each of them. Having also lost their last three encounters with Newcastle United, they will need a miracle to leave St. James' Park with three points.
Newcastle United vs Leicester City Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Even Southampton, who have already been relegated, have conceded fewer goals than Leicester City in the Premier League this season. In addition to that, the visitors are without a clean sheet in their last seventeen games in all competitions.
And since eight of the Magpies' last nine matches also ended with at least three goals, we recommend betting on over 2.5 goals here.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Newcastle United vs Leicester City prediction: 2-1

Newcastle United team news
Joe Willock was forced off early in the 4-1 win over Brighton with a possible hamstring injury, making it unlikely he will be fit for this game.
The former Arsenal player is joined on the hosts' injured list by Matty Longstaff and Matt Ritchie, who both have knee injuries, and Jamaal Lascelles, who is suffering from a calf injury.

Leicester City team news
Kelechi Iheanacho, who has missed Leicester City's last three games through injury, has returned to training, meaning Dean Smith could give the Nigerian some minutes here.
Still, the visitors will have to do without at least three players due to injury. These include Jonny Evans, James Justin and Ryan Bertrand, who are suffering from calf, tendon and knee injuries respectively.
