Newcastle vs Leeds prediction

After defeating Crystal Palace 2-0 at home on Sunday, Newcastle are once again at St. James' Park, where they are unbeaten in their last 11 games across all competitions.

In-form Bruno Guimaraes was on the scoresheet against the Eagles, with the central midfielder having found an eye for goal this season.

Leeds are now unbeaten in their last seven Premier League games, with Daniel Farke's men most recently playing out a 1-1 draw with Man Utd at Elland Road.

That run will surely be put to the test here though, given that they face an opponent who tend to excel on home turf.

With both sides enjoying a good spell of form right now, it wouldn't be a surprise to see both teams get on the scoresheet.
