Leeds vs. Newcastle: Match Prediction
Daniel Farke's side surprisingly sits above Newcastle in the league table. However, the visitors faced tough fixtures in the first two rounds, which explains their lack of wins so far. Easier matches against weaker opponents are ahead, so Eddie Howe's side is expected to either secure a win or score several goals. In the previous round, Newcastle managed to score twice against the reigning English champions.
The hosts are also likely to find the net in the upcoming match. Leeds has scored in their last 9 home Premier League games, although they have also conceded in 8 of these matches. Newcastle has scored in 12 of their last 16 away games, while Eddie Howe's side has conceded in 7 of their last 10 away Premier League matches.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
