Leeds vs Newcastle predictions
Both Teams to Score – 1.62 – A shuffled Leeds side scored three times but conceded six at Chelsea in the Carabao Cup in midweek, marking the third fixture in a row involving the Yorkshiremen where BTTS landed. Leeds have registered at least one goal in all five of their competitive matches across league and cup since the summer, and they can maintain their 100% strike rate on Monday.
Newcastle have also scored in all five of their assignments since the start of the campaign (Premier League & Carabao Cup), netting at least twice in four of those. The Magpies won a seven-goal thriller (4-3) when they last tackled Leeds in January, and the BTTS market looks like a great fit again here.

Newcastle to Get the Most Cards – 2.15 – The Magpies have been biting into tackles and pressing with aggression under new hire Matthias Jaissle. As a result, they rank third in the division for average fouls committed per 90 minutes (14.7).
Unsurprisingly, that output has drawn attention from match officials and Newcastle have collected nine yellow cards in the Premier League already. Only Liverpool (10) have picked up more, while Monday’s opponents Leeds have earned just four yellow cards in comparison.

Harvey Barnes over 0.5 shots on target (1.64) — Newcastle’s winger scored from a shot on target against Bournemouth last weekend and landed another accurate attempt against Millwall in the Carabao Cup in midweek. Barnes also excelled when the Magpies last faced Leeds in January, notching four attempts, three shots on target, and two goals.
Nicolas Gonzalez over 1.5 fouls (1.73) — The no-nonsense destroyer has been averaging a staggering 5.0 fouls per 90 minutes since joining Newcastle. The 24-year-old gave away six free kicks on his last Premier League start (vs Bournemouth) and another three in midweek against Millwall in the Carabao Cup.
Ethan Ampadu over 1.5 fouls (1.70) — Leeds’s skipper will be one of several bristly characters skirmishing for dominance in midfield at Elland Road. The Welsh international conceded two fouls against Chelsea in the cup on Wednesday evening and gave away four free kicks when Leeds last played Newcastle in January.
Anton Stach over 1.5 shots (1.77) — An excellent sleeper in this market, Stach had two shots against Chelsea on Wednesday and has had at least one attempt in all five of his appearances for Leeds since the summer. Only Dominic Calvert-Lewin (6) has had more shots in total in the Premier League for Leeds so far than Stach (5), and the German also let fly twice when Leeds last crossed paths with Newcastle in January.
