Leeds form analysis: Difficult to beat, but goals hard to come by
Leeds come into Premier League Matchweek 4 with five points from three matches and are unbeaten in their last five overall. They have also gone eight home matches without defeat, giving them a strong base at Elland Road.
Their numbers point to a fairly controlled approach, with 42% average possession and 8.70 shots per match. Leeds are scoring 1.0 goal per game and conceding 0.7, so the margins have been fine. Calvert-Lewin, Bogle and Stach all lead the scoring with one goal each, and finding more attacking output could be important if they fall behind.
Newcastle form analysis: Strong away run, but still vulnerable
Newcastle also come into Premier League Matchweek 4 with five points from three matches, matching Leeds early on. They are unbeaten in their last five and have won three straight away games.
Newcastle average 2.0 goals scored and 1.3 conceded per match, so their games can open up quickly. They also average 9.0 shots and 3.0 on target, with 60% of their matches going over 2.5 Goals. Elanga leads the scoring charts with 2 goals, and patience could be important if Leeds sit deep.
Leeds vs Newcastle odds: Leeds given the slight edge
The Full Time Result market makes Leeds narrow favourites at 7/5, with Newcastle at 11/5 and the draw at 8/3. The Asian Handicap tells a similar story, with Leeds -0.25 at 1/1 and Newcastle +0.25 at 10/11, giving the hosts only a slight edge.
The goals market is evenly balanced, with both over 2.75 and under 2.75 priced around evens. With little separating the sides, another tight game looks firmly on the cards.
Leeds are expected to line up in a 3-4-2-1, with Trafford in goal behind Muharemovic, Elvedi and Justin. Gudmundsson and Bogle should provide the width, with Stach and Ampadu in midfield. Okafor and Tanaka are set to support Calvert-Lewin up front.
Newcastle are predicted to use a 4-2-3-1, with Hornicek in goal behind Dedic, Thiaw, Botman and Hall. Nico and Miley should sit in midfield, with Elanga, Willock and Barnes operating behind Wissa.
