Newcastle welcome Leeds to St. James’ Park with confidence growing, while the visitors arrive unbeaten but still struggling to turn draws into wins.
Prediction: Both Teams to Score – Yes
This matchup points toward goals at both ends. Newcastle’s strong home attacking output and Leeds’ recent improvement suggest a lively game with chances for both sides.
Newcastle Strong and Confident at Home
Two consecutive victories have pushed Newcastle into the top half of the table, capped by a convincing 2-0 home win over Crystal Palace at the weekend. Eddie Howe’s side continue to be particularly reliable at St. James’ Park, where they have not lost since September, when they were beaten 2-1 by Arsenal. Newcastle have scored at least two goals in 11 consecutive home matches in all competitions, underlining their attacking consistency and confidence in front of their own fans.
Leeds Stabilising but Still Vulnerable Away
Leeds are clearly moving in the right direction, extending their unbeaten run to seven matches. However, five of those games ended in draws, which explains why they remain down in 16th place. Away from home, Leeds continue to struggle, having managed just one win on their travels this season and losing six of their ten away matches so far. Despite that, their recent performances show more structure and belief, especially going forward.
