In the last match, they have won in an away match against Huddersfield Town by (1-4), after in the previous match they have won (2-0) at home, against AFC Bournemouth. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In the last 10 home league matches Leicester City has a record of 5 wins and 5 losses, so they have won 15 points out of 30 possible. The team has conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, so it has not presented great defensive solidity, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 33 matches in the competition, they suffered the first goal 20 times and only managed 3 comebacks. Leicester enter this motivated match, after a 1-4 triumph on the Huddersfield field trip, adding the fourth victory in the English championship: the team's goals were scored by Tielemans, Vardy (2) and Maddison . The local team usually acts in a traditional 4-3-3, favoring a style of play of constant offensive transitions. Note that in this tactical drawing the three most advanced players are Vardy, Gray and Barnes, the first being the best score of the team, with 15 goals scored. For this game the coach can not count on Amatey and Albrighton, both with physical problems.
After 9 wins, 8 draws and 16 losses, the away team is currently in the 15 th position of the league, with 35 points won. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Arsenal, by (2-0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Crystal Palace, by (0-1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 16 conceded. In the last 10 away league matches Newcastle United has a record of 1 win, 4 draws and 5 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 30 possible. For this competition, they have not won any of the last 8 away matches. In their home league matches the most frequent result at half-time was the 0-0 (6 out of 16 matches). The team allowed goals to the opponent in 8 of the last 10 matches for this competition, so it was not very strong defensively. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 10 of the last 16 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 33 matches in this competition, they only won 2 comebacks in the 17 matches they suffered in the first goal. There is 1 period that stands out in the last 16 away matches for this competition: they have suffered 9 of their 22 goals between minutes (76'-90 '). Newcastle enter this unmotivated match, after a snub, by 0-1, in the reception to the Crystal Palace, adding in this way the third consecutive game without winning in this competition. Unlike the rival of this round, the visiting team opts to act in a traditional 5-4-1, in which the most advanced player is Solomon Rondon, which is the best marker of Newcastle, with 9 goals scored. By acting outside the home, we believe that the visiting club will adopt a more defensive posture, with the objective of not becoming unbalanced. Coach Rafael Benítez can not count on Elliot, Lejeune and Longstaff, all injured.
