Our Match Prediction

This is a difficult pick as both teams are evenly matched up and past matches prove this. The fact that the game will be at Elland Road gives an edge to Leeds, but the attacking threat of Newcastle is greater than the threat from Leeds. Our betting prediction is total goals under 2.5 at odds of 21/20.
