Newcastle – Leeds: Magpies out to keep the comeback rolling 
Newcastle have two big wins under their belt and want to back it up at St James’ Park. Leeds arrive riding a seven-game unbeaten run and they’ll make life awkward for Eddie Howe’s men.
Newcastle: momentum to protect 
The Magpies’ season’s been patchy, but wins over Burnley and Crystal Palace bought them some breathing room. They’re up to ninth, just two points off the top five. January is stacked — Premier League, FA Cup, EFL Cup and Champions League — and Newcastle know one slip could drag them back into midtable. Recent meetings with Leeds don’t help: one win in the last seven, and three home games without beating the Whites. Leeds are still the last promoted side to win at St James’ Park.
Leeds: a run that flips the script 
Since a 3-2 loss to Manchester City at the end of November, Leeds haven’t lost. Two wins, five draws, including two against Liverpool and one against Manchester United — Daniel Farke’s men have found real steel. The table looks deceptive (16th), but Leeds sit eight points clear of the drop and travel without heavy pressure. They’ll follow this with an FA Cup tie before another congested run of league fixtures.
Likely lineups
Newcastle :
Pope ; Miley, Thiaw, Schar, Hall ; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton ; Murphy, Woltemade, Gordon
Leeds :
Perri ; Bijol, Bornauw, Struijk ; Justin, Stach, Aaronson, Ampadu, Gudmundsson ; Calvert-Lewin, Okafor
What to take away
- Newcastle are on two straight wins.
- Leeds haven’t lost in seven.
- The Whites haven’t been beaten at St James’ Park in three matches.
- Calvert-Lewin has already scored eight goals this season.
Football Prediction Newcastle vs Leeds
Newcastle to win
Leeds are hard to play against at the moment, but Newcastle look like they’ve found some rhythm. At home, the Magpies can make the difference in a game that could stay tight.
First off, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot reading, never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, nothing truly is. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best to stay reasonable. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live. And don’t chase losses — it almost never ends well.
- Betting should be a game, not a job or a source of income. If it’s taking over, annoying you or putting you under pressure, take a break. If needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- Ultimately, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and won’t vanish, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: gambling is forbidden to minors and must comply with your country’s laws. It can go wrong fast (financial losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions aren’t contracts. They carry no legal weight. Plain and simple: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info that can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. In the meantime a lineup (like Newcastle’s) can change, a player gets hurt, the weather turns… and the analysis can become out of date. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, just check that gambling is legal where you live. If it’s not, that’s on you, not us.
Responsible gambling comes first
We can’t say it enough: gamble responsibly. If you’re struggling to keep control, don’t wait to seek help. We can’t be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the info published on the site.
