My Prediction
Newcastle United by 2Ladies and gentlemen, let's delve into this delicious English Premier League matchup between Newcastle United and Leicester City.
In goal, we see Newcastle United's Nick Pope, a man who's proved his worth with a rating of 6.95 and 4 saves, going head-to-head with Leicester City's Mads Hermansen who sports a lesser rating, at 6.67, but a superior number of saves with 12. Now isn’t that entertaining!
Looking at the heavy hitters from each squad, there is a stark contrast. Newcastle's top dogs, Harvey Barnes and Kieran Trippier, both hold impressive 7.60 ratings, yet are as barren as the Sahara desert when it comes to goals. However, their passing accuracy certainly makes up for their lack of sharp shooting. Leicester, on the other hand, sees its best player, Wilfred Ndidi, with a rating of 6.93 and no stellar performances to boast about.
Diving into history, most recent memory takes us back to December '24 where Newcastle United walked away with a 4-0 victory. How's that for nostalgia? Also, give me a moment for this one, the regular season records have Newcastle sitting pretty at 15 wins, 5 draws, and 9 losses, while Leicester apparently thought they were playing golf with an overwhelming score of 4 wins, 5 draws, and a startling 21 losses. I won't even mention their recent results because it's equally as grisly as a bad horror movie.
Nothing says a certified win like having the odds and the record - both past and present - significantly in your favor. This game feels to me as predictable as a fast food burger.
