Team News & Form Guide

Newcastle United Form

Newcastle are unbeaten in their last 11 games at home, dating back to late September as St James’ Park has turned into a fortress for them this season. Coming off back-to-back wins against Crystal Palace and Burnley, Eddie Howe’s men will be full of confidence coming into this one.

Leeds United Form

Leeds United themselves have hit a rich vein of form and are unbeaten in their last seven. Despite winning only two of those, they have picked up credible points against Sunderland, Liverpool and Man United last time out. Away from home, they haven’t picked up a win since beating Wolves in September, so Daniel Farke and his side travel to Newcastle hoping to change those fortunes.

Head-to-Head Record: Newcastle vs Leeds

Leeds held Newcastle to a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture back in August with all three of the last meetings ending all square. Goals might not be on the cards as only one of the previous five meetings have seen over 2.5 scored.

Tactical Overview

Heading into the match, Newcastle are expected to control possession and territory and are likely to use the wingers in wide areas and set pieces to apply sustained pressure. Leeds will try to press aggressively and look to disrupt Newcastle’s build-up, with striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin hoping to continue his goal scoring form of which he’s bagged seven in his last eight.

Newcastle vs Leeds Betting Tips & Predictions

Best Bet

Newcastle to Win – 8/11 with Betfred

Newcastle look to make home advantage count despite Leeds’ recent results. They should be too strong for a travelling Leeds side who might see a draw as a good result. Because of this, they may not be forthcoming in attack and I predict Newcastle will have too much creativity for them and will win the match.

Stats Tip

Both Teams To Score (No) – 1/1 with BetVictor

As mentioned above, previous meetings between the sides haven’t resulted in loads of goals and I could see this one going in a similar direction. A Newcastle win by either one or two goals would be the way to bet this match.

Bet Builder Tip

Newcastle to win
Under 3.5 goals
N. Woltemade to score
A. Gordon 1+ shot on target
P. Struijk 2+ tackles – 12/1 with Tote

Combining the above selections and adding some player markets to a bet builder gives us a tasty price of 12/1. Woltemade has been one of the standout Premier League signings so far this season with seven league goals to his name already and he can get on the scoresheet again.

Anthony Gordon is always a threat from out wide, liking to have a shot at any opportunity he gets and Pascal Stuijk made four successful tackles in their last match vs Man United pointing to him hitting the 2+ mark here.

Who is favourite to win Newcastle vs Leeds?

Newcastle United are favoured by UK bookmakers to win the match and can be backed at 8/11 best priced for victory.
