Leeds against Newcastle will be the EPL opener this week and I think it should be an easy game for Newcastle. We know that in the previous game Newcastle failed to get 3 points at home against Arsenal and made them fail to widen the gap back from Manchester United. This will be an opportunity for Eddie Howie's squad to be able to lock their position in 3 standings so that no other team can replace it.
Meanwhile, Leeds are still in poor form with consecutive defeats and as the new coach of Leeds Sam Allardyce is targeted to be able to bring Leeds out of the relegation zone this season and he doesn't have much time because there are 3 games left.
The match against Newcastle is the most decisive match for Leeds United this season. whether he will be relegated or not will probably depend on this one match. Because there are only 3 matches left in this season it is not easy to get out of the relegation zone. so Leeds cannot lose in the remaining 3 matches if they want to get out of the relegation zone and I think it will be difficult. Because Newcastle will indeed be favored in this match. I wonder what strategy Sam Allardyce will use to save Leeds, who are currently in a critical state, to get out of relegation.
However, even though Leeds has suffered successive defeats, the fact is that Leeds at least always has the ability to minimize losses by being able to score a goal in every match. Therefore, playing at home should Leeds be able to get points even if only through a draw.
Because after all, Leeds still has a chance to get out of the relegation zone, even though it's not easy but if Leeds is consistent to be able to score goals then this can be a good supporter for Leeds to get points. It will be interesting to look forward to, because Leeds is certainly not easy to play well when the pressure increases, so there is no guarantee for Leeds to win.
The high motivation of the Leeds players in this match might also make the Leeds players more aggressive in that match. Because this match is like life and death for Leeds in the Premier League this season. Somehow even though Newcastle looks superior but I have a hunch that Leeds will make a surprise in this one game. At first, to be honest, I wasn't too interested in this fight. I'll just bet and see the end result. But now I'm curious to watch this one game.
