Leeds vs NewcastleSee All Odds

Leeds welcome Newcastle United to Elland Road on Monday night with both sides unbeaten in the Premier League after their opening three matches. Daniel Farke's side have made an encouraging start despite being heavily beaten by Chelsea in the Carabao Cup, while Newcastle have impressed under new boss Matthias Jaissle. The Magpies have already claimed points against Liverpool, Tottenham and Bournemouth, but their underlying numbers suggest Leeds can cause them problems on home soil. With plenty of attacking talent on both sides and several interesting player markets, there looks to be value beyond the match result.

Both Teams To Score - 4/6 with AKBets

Leeds have seen both teams score in each of their last three matches, while Newcastle have already played out two 2-2 draws in their opening three Premier League fixtures.

Farke's side have shown a willingness to attack, particularly at home, and their 6-3 defeat to Chelsea in midweek underlined how much they are prepared to commit players forward.

Newcastle have also looked dangerous in the final third under Jaissle, scoring at least twice in each of their first three Premier League matches. The Magpies have plenty of pace and quality in transition, with Harvey Barnes, Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa all capable of causing problems.

Who is the favourite to win Leeds vs Newcastle?

Newcastle head into the game as the slight favourites, but the betting suggests this is a much closer contest than their respective summer expectations might have suggested.

The Magpies are priced at 9/4, with Leeds available at 27/20 and the draw at 13/5.

Newcastle have made an unbeaten start under Jaissle, taking five points from their first three league games, but their away record from last season remains a concern.

They won only five of their previous 20 Premier League away games and suffered 10 defeats in 19 road matches last campaign.

Leeds, meanwhile, have already shown that Elland Road can be a difficult venue for opponents. Nine of their 11 Premier League victories last season came on home soil, and they have started this campaign with a 1-0 victory over Nottingham Forest and draws against Brentford and Brighton.

Leeds vs Newcastle Bet Builder Tips

 

Nico Gonzalez to be shown a card

Nico Gonzalez has wasted little time establishing himself as an important part of Newcastle's midfield, but his aggressive approach has also made him a prime candidate for another booking.

The Spaniard has committed eight fouls across just two Premier League starts, averaging 4.86 fouls per 90 minutes.

He was already booked during Newcastle's draw with Tottenham and was fortunate to avoid another caution against Bournemouth after committing six fouls.

The matchup against Leeds should provide plenty of work for Gonzalez. Anton Stach has already drawn seven fouls this season and Ampadu has won 6.

Gonzalez also collected six Premier League yellow cards from just 17 starts for Manchester City last season.

Harvey Barnes anytime goalscorer

Harvey Barnes has arguably been one of Newcastle's biggest beneficiaries of Anthony Gordon's summer departure.

Barnes has scored three goals across four appearances in all competitions this season, including a superb strike against Bournemouth last weekend.

He also has a particularly strong record against Leeds, having scored twice when these sides met at St James' Park last season.

The 28-year-old managed 16 goals in 57 appearances last season despite often playing second fiddle to Gordon, including six Champions League goals.

With Barnes now established as a regular starter and bringing momentum into this game, he looks a good price to get on the score sheet once again.

Leeds vs Newcastle Score Prediction

This should be an entertaining contest between two sides who have shown plenty of attacking intent during the opening weeks of the campaign.

Newcastle's unbeaten start under Jaissle is impressive, but their underlying numbers have been less convincing. They generated just 0.75 xG against Tottenham and 0.66 xG against Bournemouth, despite scoring twice in both matches.

Leeds should offer a tougher test at Elland Road. Farke's side have already shown they can compete with Premier League opposition and have conceded only twice across their opening four matches before the Carabao Cup collapse against Chelsea.

The hosts should be much more disciplined defensively on Monday, but Newcastle's attacking quality makes it difficult to see Leeds keeping a clean sheet.

At the other end, Newcastle's defence has looked vulnerable enough for Leeds to find a way through.
