This EFL Cup quarterfinal matchup is a story of two sides heading in mostly opposite directions. As such, FarleyWrites's Newcastle vs. Leicester City betting picks expect Eddie Howe's defense to continue dominating en route to a victory.
Last year when Newcastle got taken over — led largely by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund — there was hope that the club could soon be challenging for trophies. Less than a year later and Newcastle face Leicester in the quarterfinal of the League Cup, with a trophy now just three games away.
This isn’t a Premier League game but it’s hard not to look at the table when previewing this game. Newcastle are third in the league, just four points behind Manchester City, while also having the best defensive record in the league. Then 10 places lower in 13th sit Leicester City, just two points clear of the relegation spots and looking like a team who could be in serious trouble this season.
While Newcastle feel like a team on that exciting upward curve of a project, Leicester feel like a team at the opposite end, a team who are past its best and in desperate need of a rebuild. The Leicester team is still made up of some remnants from the title-winning team, mixed with pieces from managers who followed Claudio Ranieri.
