The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

Leeds United has scored 13 league goals at home this season, in 10 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Leeds United defense is not exactly impregnable. 16 goals conceded from 10 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Newcastle United form and stats

There's been little loot from Newcastle United's travels as they have only collected 3 points from 9 away games in the Premier League. Newcastle United only have 0 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 3 draws. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Newcastle United's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Newcastle United played 1-1 against Watford in their previous match. Attacker Saint-Maximin got a player rating of 7.44 in the game. "Man of the match" Saint-Maximin scored one goal, hit one key pass, dribled past the opponent 7 of 10 times and had 20 successful passes (of 24 total).

A 0-1 loss hosting Cambridge United before that.

We have checked recent matches where Newcastle United have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those nine games were two victories, four draws and three defeats.

The attacking power of Newcastle when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 9 league matches away. The Newcastle United manager Howe has some worries about the defense as 20 goals have been conceded in these travels.
