Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n4\/5 @ Bet365<\/a>
(55.6%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThe data strongly favours both teams scoring. Leeds have a high Both Teams To Score (BTTS) rate of 65% in the Premier League this season, with their matches seeing 13 BTTS results in 20 games. Newcastle’s BTTS rate is also high at 60%. Furthermore, Leeds concede an average of 1.65 goals per game, while Newcastle concede 1.2. Both sides possess attacking threats, with Newcastle averaging 1.4 goals per game and Leeds 1.3, making a clean sheet for either side unlikely.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Nick Woltemade Anytime Scorer<\/strong><\/td>\n5\/4 @ Midnite<\/a>
(44.4%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nNick Woltemade is Newcastle’s top scorer, having netted 7 goals in 17 Premier League appearances this season, with an Expected Goals (xG) of 5.89. His average xG per match is a solid 0.35. Leeds’ defence is vulnerable, conceding an average of 1.65 goals per game. Crucially, Leeds have one of the worst records for conceding goals from set-pieces, an area where Woltemade’s aerial presence and Newcastle’s delivery could prove decisive, making him a strong candidate to score.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
