Monday night’s English Premier League action comes from Elland Road, Leeds host Newcastle and both sides are unbeaten in the league this season
Leeds
Leeds began with a 1-0 win away to Forest thanks to a late goal from Stach and they followed up with a 1-1 at home to Brentford with Calvin Lewin finding their equalizer. They kept their unbeaten record in tact with a 1-1 draw at Brighton last weekend with Bogle grabbing their goal early on. They were beaten in the EFL Cup in midweek, eventually going down 6-3 away to Chelsea with a much changed side but they did lead that match 2-0 early in the second half.
On the team news from Joe Rodon remains on the sidelines through injury
Newcastle
Newcastle have also taken 5 points from 3 matches. It could have been more had Liverpool not forced a 2-2 draw with a 99th minute equalizer in their only home game so far and next time they were full value for a 2-0 win at Spurs. A very late equalizer salvaged a 2-2 draw from a home fixture with Bournemouth and in midweek they made it through to the next round of the EFL Cup with a 1-1 win away to Millwall
Amar Dedic [icked up a knock at Millwall and is a doubt for this game.
The Betting
Leedsh are trading at 13/10 with the draw at 5/2 and Newcastle can be backed at around 39/20
A game of 3 goals or more is 15/20 and it’s 6/10 for both teams to score.
Price boosts from Sportingbet include Wissa tto score the first goal at 15/2 (from 13/2) and over 3.5 total goals at 21/10 (from 15/8)
Verdict:
This fixture fnished 0-0 last season but the return at St James Park ended 4-3 to Newcastle and I think we should see a few goalss here.
I’m with goals for both sides and then at least 1 more.
Bet: Both teams to score and over 2.5 toal goals> yes at even money with Sportingbet
