Premier League Quick Preview: Leeds United Vs Newcastle
The final fixture of the weekend takes place at Elland Road as Leeds United welcome Newcastle.
Both sides are unbeaten with the same record of one win and two draws, but victory for either will send them into the top four and possibly into third spot.
Home advantage makes Leeds favourites to win on betting apps, but Matthias Jaissle has made his Newcastle side very hard to beat.
Goals For Both Teams
So far this season, Leeds have scored in every league game they have played, and so have Newcastle.
While Daniel Farke's side have netted exactly one goal in all three contests, the Magpies have scored exactly two in all three of their outings.
Using that logic, we'll be looking at a 2-1 win for Newcastle, but to be on the safe side, either BTTS or over 2.5 total goals might be a safer bet.

The last two meetings at Elland Road have ended all square, 2-2 in May 2023 followed by a goalless draw last August.
Let's hope this game is more like the 4-3 meeting at St James' Park in January, which was won by Bruno Guimaraes' last minute penalty, rather than the 0-0 draw.
