Newcastle United Preview
In their most recent encounter against Leicester City, Newcastle managed to win by a score of 3-0 playing as visitors. The game was settled in the first 45 minutes, as Newcastle’s attackers did just that from the third minute. Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton, like in the tale of the three musketeers, eventually teamed up to beat Leicester with authority.
The team managed by Eddie Howe is in third place in the Premier League with 33 points from their 9 wins, 6 draws and their only defeat, which was against Liverpool. For this new clash, the Magpies are expected to continue with their good unbeaten streak, which already completes 10 consecutive matches.
Possible Newcastle lineup (4-3-3): JNick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Fabian Schar, Sven Botman, Dan Burn, Joe Willock, Bruno Guimaraes, Sean Longstaff, Miguel Almiron, Chris Wood, Joelinton.
Leeds United Preview
Leeds are currently in fifteenth place in the Premier League standings. So far this season, Jesse Marsh’s team registers 4 wins, 3 ties and 8 losses.
In the last five rounds, the Whites have managed to get only two wins, and will surely come into the Newcastle vs Leeds match looking for the three points to overtake at least Bournemouth and Leicester City in terms of positions in the standings. Each game is more crucial than ever, considering that the team is very close to the relegation zone.
In their last match against Manchester City, Leeds lost 3-1 thanks to a great night for Erling Haaland, who scored a brace in just 13 minutes.
Possible lineup (4-3-3): Illan Meslier; Rasmus Kristensen, Robin Koch, Liam Cooper, Pascal Struijk, Adam Forshaw, Marc Roca, Sam Greenwood, Rodrigo, Brenden Aaronson, Wilfried Gnonto.
JefeBet Prediction
In view of its latest results, we believe that it will be the home team who will take the victory in this Newcastle vs Leeds. Throughout the season, Newcastle has been one of the surprise teams, just a few points behind the leader (Arsenal) and undefeated in 10 consecutive matches.
Prediction: Newcastle United wins 3-1.
