Leeds vs Newcastle Match Preview

Leeds is ranked at 14th place with 14 points and is not in their best shape after a single win a draw and three losses over the last five matches. They have seen a drop in results when comparing to how they started the season but still, their offensive side has been scoring despite the negative period.

With 17 goals scored so far, they have one of the best offensive sides of the bottom half teams and in the last five matches, they have scored four goals managing to find the back of the net at least once in four outings including scoring against teams like Chelsea and Everton. At home, they will seek to end this two-game losing streak and climb in ranks.

Newcastle, on the other hand, is ranked at 13th place with 17 points and comes in a better run after three wins and two losses over the last five matches. Finally, they have created some distance from the relegation zone, but even this position should not make them happy considering the players they signed.

In the last five matches they have scored six goals, averaging at least a goal per game and Wilson has found his best shape scoring three goals in the last five duels. Even on the road, Newcastle has scored at least a goal in four out of five games played so far.

In conclusion, I think this match can have over 2.5 goals. Leeds is known for playing quite an offensive football under Bielsa and they deserved more against West Ham in the recent game. Losing twice in a row should be more than enough motivation to bounce back. Newcastle has got quality up front with players like Joelinton or Wilson and I fancy them to score here too. Leeds has been averaging 3.3 goals per game until now, while Newcastle is on 2.7 per game.
