Leeds United vs Newcastle United Prediction and Betting Tips | 22 January 2022

Leeds United will look to make it three wins in a row in the Premier League as they host Newcastle United at Elland Road on Saturday.

Leeds United produced one of their best attacking displays of the 2021-22 Premier League season to beat West Ham United 3-2 at the London Stadium last weekend. Jack Harrison scored a brilliant hat-trick for Marcelo Bielsa's men as they moved nine points clear of the relegation zone.

Leeds beat Burnley in their first fixture of 2022 at home and the team seems to have found their attacking zeal once again. Jack Harrison has scored four goals in his last two Premier League outings. The exciting Raphinha has been in good form too. They will fancy their chances against Newcastle United on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Newcastle United conceded a late equalizer against Watford and ended up sharing the spoils in their latest Premier League encounter. The Magpies have strengthened in January but they remain 19th in the table, just a point clear of Burnley, who have three games in hand over them.

Anything less than a win will compound their misery and Eddie Howe will be hoping that his side's away form gets better as they travel to Elland Road on Saturday.
