Newcastle - Leeds: Form Analysis
Newcastle United reaped well from results elsewhere even as they produced the desired results in their latest two games. They claimed a 3-1 win at Burnley, then returned home to collect three points in a 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace.
Based on their performances, a third straight league win doesn’t seem to be beyond reach. The Magpies have a superb run at home, currently on nine wins in their last 11 matches there. They are unbeaten in those 11 games, and in each of the last nine, they scored exactly two goals. Heading into this match, Newcastle have only suffered two defeats in the last 10 outings.
Newcastle have only lost to Arsenal, Liverpool, and Barcelona at home this season.
Leeds United have been on the rise, though there is one piece of the puzzle still lacking in their game. They take into this encounter a seven-match unbeaten run, but with only two wins. In their latest outing, Leeds couldn’t hold on to their lead against Manchester United; that clash ended 1-1.
Though they haven't lost any of the last three away matches, performances on their travels have left a lot to be desired. Leeds’ only win on the road came against the side currently at the bottom of the standings, Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Newcastle & Leeds Squad Analysis
Though their 2-0 win against Palace looks comfortable, Newcastle had to sweat for it. Once again it was Bruno Guimaraes who inspired the late win, with the opening goal and an all-round superb performance. The Brazilian has now scored in the Magpies' last two matches and will carry a confident aura heading to this game.
The hosts will still be without Anthony Elanga and dependable defender Dan Burn, both nursing injuries. They can, however, count on Harvey Barnes, who has six career goals against Leeds.
Leeds will welcome back Ethan Ampadu, who was suspended for the last match.
Dominic Calvert-Lewin has hit top form coming into this encounter. He has seven goals in Leeds’ last eight matches, and yet Newcastle happens to be one of his favorite opponents. The English forward has scored six times against Newcastle United and will hope to extend his record here.
Former Newcastle man Sean Longstaff has recovered from a calf injury and will be pushing for game time. In the last outing, he was named among the subs.

Our Newcastle vs Leeds Prediction
Both teams take into this game unbeaten runs and are looking to protect them. While they’ve produced a combined 12 draws this season, we don’t expect this one to end in shared spoils. Newcastle United have been on a roll at home, only beaten by some of the top teams in England and Europe.
We don’t see Leeds breaking the Magpies’ recent run, especially as they haven't won a lot on the road. Our prediction for Newcastle United v Leeds United is that Newcastle United wins.
Newcastle vs Leeds - Other Interesting Predictions
BTTS
Across their last 10 matches, Newcastle United managed just one clean sheet, and they only failed to score in two. Leeds United haven't managed many shutouts either. They registered only one in their last 10 matches, in a 0-0 draw with Liverpool.
That was also the only time in 10 matches that they failed to score. As Newcastle are missing a number of their defensive players, Leeds will fancy their chances. In our second prediction, therefore, we say both teams will score.
