Leeds vs Newcastle prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-08-29 16:30.
[p]After two Premier League rounds, all three newly-promoted sides have a win to their name, which Leeds United will look to build upon when they host Newcastle United.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]After the highs of beating Everton 1-0 on matchday one, Leeds were reminded of the harsh realities of the Premier League when they were thumped 5-0 by Arsenal last weekend. That was Leeds’ sixth successive top-flight away defeat so they’ll undoubtedly be glad to return to Elland Road, where they’re unbeaten in 21 league games (W18, D3). Considering 14 of those matches saw them keep a clean sheet, defensive solidity could once again hold the key to victory for a side who’ve found the net in nine successive Premier League home games. [/p]
[p]With the Alexander Isak situation still rumbling away in the background, Newcastle have made a slow start to the season and are still winless after two rounds (D1, L1). The defeat was handed out to them on Monday night, as a Liverpool winner in the 100th minute consigned the ten-man Magpies to a fourth successive winless league outing (D1, L3). Boss Eddie Howe’s selection headache wasn’t helped by Anthony Gordon’s dismissal in that game, but the opposition here could provide a bit of welcomed respite, as Newcastle have won their last eight Premier League games against newly-promoted opposition.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]The overall H2H balance is almost perfectly split between these two sides (LEE: W39, D21, L40), but Leeds have dominated this fixture of late, losing just one of the last seven meetings (W2, D4). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Leeds have scored exactly once in five of their last six Premier League home games.[/p]
[p]Seven of Leeds’ last eight Premier League home games saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Newcastle have conceded an average of 14 fouls per game across their first two Premier League outings. [/p]
[p]Six of the last eight league goals Newcastle have scored arrived after half-time.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Joël Piroe, last season’s Championship Golden Boot winner, has helped Leeds win with an accompanying clean sheet in 12 of his last 15 scoring appearances for the club. With few striking options available, Newcastle may look to Harvey Barnes for inspiration, especially as he’s scored in five of his six Premier League appearances against Leeds. [/p]
[p]Ethan Ampadu missed Leeds’ trip to Arsenal last weekend through injury, while Newcastle’s forward options aren’t helped by the absences of Alexander Isak and Anthony Gordon.[/p]

[p]Betting Analysis[/p]
[p]Although Newcastle are winless, they’ve been a little unlucky in their two league games so far, but against slightly inferior opposition on paper, we’re backing the Magpies to get their first win here.[/p]
