Newcastle v Leeds Betting Tips
A big game for both of these in the race to try and secure promotion to the top flight. Newcastle suffered a defeat at play-off hopeful Sheffield Wednesday last weekend and that was a blow to them because title rivals Brighton won their game to move two points clear of the Magpies at the top. Newcastle’s home form reads W13 D2 L5 this season in the Championship and they are on a two-match winning streak at home. But they have only won two of their last four on home soil (D1 L1). Newcastle went to Elland Road earlier in the season and secured a good 2-0 win and up in the Bet365 correct score market, a Newcastle 2-0 correct score is trading at a price of 13/2. The Magpies have won three of their last four at home against Leeds (L1), winning their last two home games against them with a clean sheet. Newcastle to win to nil at Bet365 is trading at a price of 13/8. There is a trend there as Newcastle have taken a clean sheet in four of their last five home wins. Newcastle are unbeaten in five games in all competitions against Leeds and Dwight Gayle is going as 20/21 outright favourite in the anytime goalscorer market.
Leeds have Chris Wood as a 15/8 option in the Bet365 anytime goalscorer market. The Whites had put together a good seven-match unbeaten streak of form in the Championship, but they have gone W1 L2 in their last three. Last weekend they romped to a good 3-0 home win over Preston, but it is out on the road where their problems have been. Leeds are winless in their last five league games away from Elland Road and they have lost their last two, one of them at play-off rivals Reading. Both teams to score at Bet365 is running at a price of 10/11. Overall this season in the Championship, Leeds have posted a W8 D3 L9 away record and their home form far surpasses that of their away form. They are in the play-off zone with five games left of the regular season but they still have just a little more work to do to secure a shot at getting up to the top flight. Leeds have failed to score in their last three overall against Newcastle, including on their last two visits to St James Park.
