Where Can I Watch?
Why Bet on Leeds?
Leeds has not been showing a good performance that deserves the bet on their team recently. The last victory came in early April, against Nottingham Forest, when playing at home they won 2-1, with goals from Luis Sinisterra and Jack Harrison.
The experienced Spanish striker, Rodrigo, is the team’s top scorer, with 12 goals, and is the main piece of the club’s offensive system, which scored 44 goals in the current season – more than Chelsea (11th).
Coach Sam Allardyce will have to reinvent himself to hold on to Newcastle’s talented team, which still has clear goals for the end of this season.
Why Bet on Newcastle?
Newcastle still has the motivation to end the Premier League on a positive note. The casting of the current season’s was highly praised and generated quick results: the team is just a few points away from securing a place in the UEFA Champions League next year.
With 65 points from 34 games, the Magpies still need a few more wins to claim third place in the Premier League. Callum Wilson is the team’s top scorer, with 15 goals, followed by Miguel Almirón (11), Alexander Isak (10) and Joelinton (6).
Even playing away from home, Newcastle has players of great technical quality who can solve the game in a few minutes.
Final Betting Analysis: Leeds vs. Newcastle
This seems like an easy matchup, but it wouldn’t be the first time that the Magpies choked against an inferior rival. However, they are in great need with so many powerful teams on their backs. Leeds is a team in need and has an experienced coach, so overconfidence can be dangerous.
Leeds is between a stone and a hard place, they have a horrible schedule that started with a loss against Manchester City and need to win at least one game to try to survive. The problem for this team ever since it ascended from Championship has been the defense. This season the issue exploded and they are the worst defense in the league, with two more conceded goals than Bournemouth. And let’s remember that the latter received nine in one game and since then has been decent.
Go for a 3-0 win for Newcastle.
If you put $100 into Newcastle’s win, you could get $68 back for a total payout of $168.
