Newcastle must not miss their chance to end the league in 3rd place in the standings. Leeds is an easy opponent if we compare as a whole, so there should be no reason for Leeds not to be able to win this game. Although they will act as guests, their strength is far above Leeds. This is their big chance to get 3 full points and keep their distance from Manchester United who are in 4th position. Indeed, the remaining matches in the Premier League are very crucial for teams that do not have the right distance from their competitors.
If I saw at the standings currently and the last five matches of both teams, I'll agree that against Leeds is an easy match for Newcastle, because they are also currently better rather than Leeds. And yeah Newcastle must not miss their chance to stay away from Manchester United, but the both teams leeds and Newcastle need a win to get three points. Especially Leeds they need points to stay in the premier league, so maybe Leeds will do effort very well to not lose points in this match, in my opinion there is a possibility this game will end in a draw result.
It's a shame that this match was passed by Newcastle because they really failed to maximize playing against a club whose performance was far below them.
The match ended with 1 point for both teams which of course although this is still quite good but it's a shame for Newcastle because they could have been more than that.
Their mastery in attack dominance and possession was very good but Leeds also played very well in this match even though they had to lose 1 player in the last minutes but they were really good at maximizing 1 point against a club that was actually better than them.
