Overview of Leeds V Newcastle
This is not an easy summer for Newcastle, but their fortune could be about to change when we enter the last days of the transfer window.
Having been snubbed by Joao Pedro, Liam Delap, Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko and James Trafford, they could finally be about to bring a new central center – the German international Nick Woltemade.
Woltemade is about to join Stuttgart for fees in the region of 65 million pounds sterling, despite the Swabian move 12 months ago on a free transfer and a disappointing record in the Bundesliga.
At 6 feet 6 inches, however, he will integrate into the direct play style regularly used by the boss Eddie Howe.
Newcastle used the long ball with a big effect against Liverpool on Monday evening, but it was not enough to postpone a 3-2 defeat. Their season’s opening match was a blank draw at Aston Villa.
A trip to Elland Road is never simple and Howe accepts that visitors will have to silence the crowd.
He said, “I think each time we go to Elland Road, we have experienced the atmosphere and the feeling in the stadium that Leeds supporters are trying to create. I think it is a very strong home support, so we know that the start of the game will be really important for us.
“Against Everton, they very well played very well and even the first parts of the Arsenal game, I thought they were strong. They have invested well, they have good players and Daniel [Farke] did well there.
Leeds has three points of their first two matches, a controversial victory 1-0 against Everton with the kind authorization of the late penalty of Lukas Nmecha and a Dubbing 5-0 in Arsenal. They also crushed the EFL Cup in the middle of the week after losing against Sheffield on Wednesday.

Leeds is undoubtedly lower than it was at that time last season, especially with Tanaka and Ampadu sidelined.
Newcastle is without several key players and it is a big request to William Osula to direct the line in the absence of Gordon and Alexander Isak.
We do not expect a classic here, although it should be fiery.
Prediction: Leeds 0-0 Newcastle
