Command Analysis

Newcastle United

Newcastle are in search of their game. The six time champion of the Premier League finished 12th in the table last season. In the summer, the board spent 29 million on Joe Willock from Arsenal. This signing hasn't really brought any improvement yet, but Newcastle fans are patient.

After losing the first two games to West Ham (2:4) and Aston Villa (0:2), the Magpies drew with Southampton at home (2:2) and earned their first point. Last week, Newcastle fell victim to Manchester United and their returned star Cristiano Ronaldo, who scored two goals against the Magpies. Steve Bruce's men lost with the final score of 1:4. The Georgies also were knocked out of the Carabao Cup, losing to Burnley in the first round (0:1).

Newcastle will be without Dubravka, Wilson, Shelvey, and Fraser.

Leeds United

In its first season back in the top division since 2004, Leedsfinished in the Top 10. They won 18 games out of 38, which is a very solid result. In the summer Leeds bought several players, the most expensive being Daniel James (29,1 million). The Peacocks also signed Jack Harrison (12.8 million), Junior Firpo (15 million), and Kristoffer Klaesson (2 million).

Marcelo Bielsa's men had a good start in the Carabao Cuo, defeating Crew Alexandria (3:0) and progressing to the next round. As for the Premier League, Leeds only have two points: they lost two games and drew with Everton (2:2) and Burnley (1:1).

Both teams sit at the bottom of the table, which should motivate them to fight for points. We believe that will lead to an open game. In the previous three head-to-head matches, the opponents scored many goals, so we expect a high-scoring game.

Our prediction - total over 2,5 goals.
