Newport vs Leeds Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Newport vs Leeds predictions and betting tips for the FA Cup fixture on Sunday lunchtime. Can Newport upset the Championship outfit at Rodney Parade?

These two sides may be two divisions apart but they are becoming used to one another and this is their second meeting of the season. The pair were drawn together in the Carabao Cup earlier in the campaign here but due to the pitch being relayed at Rodney Parade, it was moved to Elland Road. Leeds will have to travel to South Wales on this occasion and they may be tempted to rotate heavily for this tie. The hosts have been decent on their own patch this season and will see an upset as a distinct possibility. See our Newport vs Leeds predictions below and see if we fancy an FA Cup upset in Lancashire.

Leeds stuck five past Newport when these sides met earlier in the season as Kemar Roofe ran riot against the League Two side. The West Yorkshire side have improved their form recently but arrive here off the back of an away defeat to Birmingham. Thomas Christiansen’s side should be able to edge this tie but Newport could easily get onto the scoresheet. They’ve already beaten Walsall and Cambridge in this competition and another bold showing is expected. The first of this weekend’s Newport vs Leeds predictions is Leeds to Win and Both Teams to Score.

Leeds failed to net against Birmingham but they found the Blues far too resolute. Newport should offer a little more generosity at the back but they also offer plenty of punch going forward. For our final Newport vs Leeds prediction, we’re looking at Over 2.5 Goals.

 

Newport vs Leeds Preview

Whilst Newport don’t have the luxury of being able to make sweeping changes, they are likely to give Shawn McCoulsky a game after he’s extended his loan from Bristol City. Michael Flynn’s side are unbeaten in three matches at home and have already knocked League One Walsall out of the competition here.

Leeds could make a number of changes for this game but will be aiming to avoid yet another FA Cup upset. They were knocked out of the competition by Sutton at this stage last season. Jack Clarke could be given some game time with the 17 year pushing for a start. Despite being linked with a return to Manchester United, Cameron Borthwick-Jackson is likely to feature alongside Pierre-Michel Lasogga.
