Newcastle United: Team form, news and statistics
The team prepared by Steve Bruce started the current season quite well and due to the points obtained in the first stages, they are not in the hot zone of the ranking.
With 19 points accumulated in the 19 stages, it occupies the 16th place and it did not feel the taste of the victory of ten matches.
A few days ago he played an overdue match with Aston Villa, which he lost 0-2.
In the 90 minutes he played very weak, having only one shot on the goal area.
The purchase of Callum Willson was an extremely good deal. He is the only one who matters in the attack.
So far he has eight successes in the championship, followed by Jeff Hendrick, with only two goals.
Brazilian Joelinton is not doing very well.
Sometimes he was also used as a midfielder, where he did not do very well.
Allan Saint-Maximin was injured for almost two months.
He returned to the match with Aston Villa, in which he played for 20 minutes.
He was eliminated from the League Cup by Brentford, and from the FA Cup by Arsenal at the beginning of the month.
It is clear that during this period it is necessary to bring a few players, with whom they will not have emotions regarding the relegation. No one has arrived yet, but Rolando Aarons has left for Huddersfield, being free of contract.
Dwight Gayle, Federico Fernandez and Ciaran Clark are injured.
Leeds United: Team form, news and statistics
During the summer, after being promoted to the Premier League, the club’s management invested over 100 million euros, so as not to have emotions regarding the relegation.
Marcelo Bielsa made a pretty good selection, and so far he has done quite well.
He is currently in 12th place with 23 points, a reassuring distance from the last places.
The previous stage suffered a surprising defeat, right on Elland Road, with Brighton.
The only goal of the game was scored in the 17th minute, and in the remaining 73 minutes of the game it didn’t matter much in attack. He played a very weak match, and I don’t think that will happen again soon.
The elimination from the FA Cup, by a team playing in League Two, was difficult for the players to digest, but they have to get over this unpleasant moment quickly.
The main problem is defense. On average, he received almost two goals per game, which is a lot, even if the game played is an offensive one. Both Liam Cooper and Luke Ayling do not have a weak season at all, but they need the help of those in the middle, in defensive phases. In attack, Patrick Bamford is mainly responsible for the goals.
In the championship he has ten successes and two decisive passes.
Bielsa set his sights on Riqui Puig, who plays for Barcelona.
He only caught 182 minutes in the first team and has great chances to reach the Premier League.
Illan Meslier and Robin Koch are unavailable.

Football Prediction of the Day Newcastle United vs Leeds United
According to transfermarkt, Newcastle United have a more valuable team than Leeds United, but this is not seen in the Premier League.
Marceloa Bielsa has managed to build a spectacular team, playing an offensive football.
He has only two draws, which means that he really fights in every match, regardless of the opponent, for the three points at stake.
He shouldn’t have big problems with Newcastle and I expect an unbalanced match, just like it was on the tour.
Betting tip: Newcastle United to win at least one half? NOT!
Stake: 5/10
Odds: 1.58
