Leeds vs Newcastle: Premier League Prediction (30.08.2025)

On Saturday, August 30 at 18:30 CEST at the Elland Road Stadium in Leeds, Leeds will host Newcastle in the third round of the 2025–2026 Premier League. The hosts collected three points in their first two matches, beating Everton 1–0 at home and losing heavily 0–5 away to Arsenal. The visitors so far have only one point: a 0–0 draw away to Aston Villa and a 2–3 home defeat against Liverpool.

Bookmakers slightly favor the visitors in the Leeds vs Newcastle clash. Odds: 3.30 for a Leeds win, 3.50 for a draw, and 2.16 for a Newcastle win. Expected scoring: over 2.5 goals is set at 1.78, while both teams to score is offered at 1.64.

Leeds

After winning the Championship and making significant squad investments, Daniel Farke’s side made a decent start in the Premier League. The home win over Everton gave fans hope for a solid season. The heavy loss to Arsenal reminded everyone of the challenges ahead, but the squad has enough depth to aim for mid-table security rather than mere survival. New signing Lukas Nmecha, a 26-year-old striker from Wolfsburg, is still easing in, mostly coming off the bench.

Newcastle

Eddie Howe’s team made expensive but targeted attacking reinforcements this summer. Anthony Elanga arrived from Nottingham Forest as a right winger, while Jacob Ramsey joined from Aston Villa in midfield. Their impact has not yet translated into results, but both can significantly boost the team’s creativity. Ramsey is still adapting, having played preseason matches with his old club.

Head-to-head statistics

Between 2021 and 2023, the teams met five times. Each side won once, while three matches ended in draws. Meetings between the Peacocks and the Magpies are usually tight and evenly contested.

Prediction

Both teams will push hard for victory. Leeds will count on home support, while Newcastle seeks their first win of the season. Expect an open game with plenty of action.

Bet suggestion: over 9.5 corners at odds of 1.70
