Leeds United have won two of their last five league matches but will hope to bounce back against Newcastle.

Newcastle United vs Leeds United prediction

Eddie Howe’s side are in top form, having won nine from 16 league matches so far. They are the favourites to get the win and thanks to their current form, I’m backing them to win.

Get Rich Quick

This is a stretch but I think there’s a chance Newcastle United could beat Leeds 3-1, given the Whites’ recent form.

Safe Bet

It’s safe to back Newcastle United to avoid defeat at home to Leeds United.
