Leeds United cautioned over Newcastle counters as Elland Road draw or away win tipped | OneFootball

Leeds United host Newcastle United under the Elland Road lights on Monday, yet leading pundits are not backing a home win.

Daniel Farke’s side are unbeaten with one win and two draws from three, the same as Newcastle, who edge them on goal difference by one. According to Metro, Alan Shearer is going for a Newcastle away win, highlighting the ferocious atmosphere and the sizeable travelling support the nearby journey invites.

Chris Sutton, meanwhile, is calling a draw. He portrays Newcastle as a stand-out counter-attacking outfit and expects Farke to adjust to that threat.

Sutton notes Leeds look more robust and well organised, but questions whether their attacking edge has dipped. He still marginally leans towards Leeds at home, yet settles on a draw after Newcastle’s fight at Bournemouth last week.

With both sides unbeaten and separated only by a single goal on the table, a tight, testy night at Elland Road is being forecast.
