Newcastle seems more promising in terms of scoring: in their last 5 games, the team has an average total of 2.8 goals per match, scoring 1.8 and conceding 1. Leeds shows an average total of 2.2, scoring 1.4 and conceding 0.8. Newcastle surpassed the over 2.5 total in 3 out of 5, while Leeds did so in 1 out of 5. In the first half, Newcastle achieved over 1.5 goals in 3 out of 5, Leeds in 1 out of 5. In the second half, Newcastle had 2 out of 5 for over 1.5, Leeds 3 out of 5. Newcastle most frequently scores between the 16th and 30th minute (38%), while Leeds scores between the 31st-45th and 61st-75th minutes (29% each). Newcastle concedes most often in the first 15 minutes (33%), Leeds in the 76th-90th minutes (50%). Considering Newcastle's consistent scoring and Leeds' ability to keep up the pace in the second half, a bet on over 2.5 goals at 1.88 seems justified.
Newcastle averages 6.8 corners, Leeds 6, over their last 5 matches. The over 9.5 corners total was hit by both teams 4 times out of 5. Among the corner odds, the total of 12 (6.8+6=12.8) is closest to the average values. For the 10.5 corners total, there are two outcomes: over 10.5 is priced at 2.10, under 10.5 at 1.68. Newcastle is the favorite in the corners market with odds of 1.46. Given the high activity of both teams on corners, considering an over 10.5 total or Newcastle's advantage in this aspect makes sense.
