Leeds 21/20 to beat Newcastle in Saturday’s Premier League matchup

Competition: Premier League

Market: Leeds win

Odds: 21/20 @ 888sport

In what is a real must-win showdown this weekend, Newcastle will make the trip to Elland Road when they face off against Leeds on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, managing to pick up what could turn out to be a crucial victory last weekend, there is no doubt that Leeds will be looking to keep up that momentum here. In their 20 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded five wins, seven draws and eight defeats, scoring 24 and conceding 39 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 22, the Whites open Saturday’s fixtures sat 15th in the table and holding a commanding nine-point buffer over slipping into the drop zone. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen landing an action-packed 3-2 win away at West Ham, Leeds have won back-to-back Premier League contests.

As for the visitors, in the midst of what has become a real Premier League nightmare, Newcastle are at the heart of a relegation scrap. In their 20 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have remarkably recorded just a single win, nine draws and 10 defeats, scoring 20 and conceding 43 in return. Managing to muster just a points tally of 12 and opening this weekend’s fixtures sat two points adrift of safety, it should also be noted that they hold the second-worst defensive tally in the division. As for their recent run of results, last seen playing out a 1-1 draw against fellow relegation scrappers Watford on home soil, Newcastle have recorded just a single win throughout the 2021/22 campaign. Failing to win any of their last four meetings against Leeds, we’re backing a home victory here.
