Match Prediction
Newcastle’s only home losses this season came against elite teams such as Barcelona, Arsenal, and Liverpool. This raises the stakes for Leeds, as they aim for at least a draw, having previously managed a scoreless tie against Newcastle in their earlier encounter this season.
The prediction tilts in favor of Newcastle winning 2-1, but Leeds has shown they can challenge top-tier teams. Key players such as Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa will need to deliver strong performances for Leeds to secure a favorable result.
