Newcastle are starting to climb the table after two straight wins and have a real chance of moving into genuine Champions League contention. Leeds might be 16th in the Premier League table, but a seven-match unbeaten run has seen them move eight points clear of the relegation zone.
The data suggests Newcastle will control the game in the opposition's half, and there will be a low number of cards shown. Also, Leeds will make a comeback if they go behind.
The match forecast predicts a 2-1 victory for Newcastle. The home side have been excellent at home, collecting 17 points from the last 21 available, whereas Leeds have struggled away from home this season.
