Leeds to win
Leeds have won their last two Premier League matches with Jack Harrison scoring four goals in those two matches, including a hat-trick against West Ham United.
Leeds to win and over 2.5 goals in the match
There should be plenty of goals to go with a Leeds win in this one. Their matches produce over 2.5 goals 60% of the time. Leeds’ last six Premier League games have all had over 2.5 goals in them.
Handicap – Leeds -1 goal (3-way handicap)
With Newcastle struggling to bring reinforcements in as we get towards the end of the transfer window, the Magpies still look suspect in defence and this Leeds side in goal scoring form can exploit that.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Leeds United vs Newcastle United
Leeds’ 3-2 win away to West Ham last time out gave them a nine-point cushion between themselves and 18th placed Norwich City. A win against Newcastle could see them within touching distance of the top ten and firmly away from trouble.
With Patrick Bamford continuing to miss action, Harrison has stepped up to the challenge, netting a hat-trick in the win over the Hammers.
Harrison should fancy himself to add to his goals tally against the league’s second most generous defence. Harrison to score any time is priced at 3.3.
That being said, Leeds hardly covers themselves in glory defensively either and their 39 goals conceded for the third worst total is only just in front of Newcastle’s 43.
New £25 million signing, Chris Wood couldn’t get off the mark in his debut last weekend but with an extra week of training with his new side, maybe Saturday’s match will see the Kiwi net his first goal for the Magpies.
Wood is priced at 2.7 to score anytime in a match that should have plenty of goals on offer.
Safe Bets
A safe bet for this one would be to back the over 2.5 goals market on its own. In addition to the stats above, over 2.5 goals also occurs in 50% of Newcastle’s matches including in three of their last five Premier League matches. Over 2.5 goals is priced at 1.67.
Quick Rich
As well as breaking the 2.5 goals barrier in Leeds’ last six league matches, all of these games have also had over 3.5 goals.
Overall, this has occurred in 40% of both Leeds and Newcastle’s matches, making the odds for this to happen of 2.63 quite generous.
Leeds United vs Newcastle United Team News
Leeds will have several players missing including, Joe Gelhardt, Kalvin Phillips, Tyler Roberts, Charlie Cresswell, Liam Cooper and Jamie Shackleton. Diego Llorente returns from suspension and will likely slot straight back into the team.

Starting Lineups
Leeds United: Meslier, Ayling, Llorente, Struijk, Dallas, Koch, Raphinha, Klich, Bate, Harrison, James
Newcastle United: Dubravka, Trippier, Lascelles, Schar, Manquillo, S. Longstaff, Shelvey, Joelinton, Fraser, Wood, Saint-Maximin
Highlighted Player – Raphinha
Raphinha has been missing from the scoresheet in his last two Premier League matches but is among multiple players in fourth position on the top scorer’s chart with eight league goals so far.
Last season comparisons were drawn between Raphinha and Newcastle’s Alain Saint-Maximin and the pacey Brazilian winger will want to show all in attendance that he is the more influential player for his side.
