Match Overview
Newcastle United host their German rivals Borussia Dortmund in a match in the UEFA Champions League on 25 October. Both these teams are very nicely matched with each other, and it will be quite challenging to figure out who will end up on the winning side at the outset. Dortmund might have a disadvantage as they are playing away from their home.
Key Highlights
It might be a clash of two equally-matched sides as we have mentioned since Newcastle United have not lost in the last 8 matches that they have played and similarly, Dortmund have been unbeaten in their last 5 matches. Newcastle have taken the Champions League by storm ever since they beat PSG at home, and now their supporters expect a lot more.
Injury Report
Sven Botman, Joe Willock and Harvey Barnes continue to be ruled out for Newcastle whereas Thomas Meunier and Mateu Morey are among some of the absentees for Dortmund.
Prediction
We expect BTTS (both teams to score) in this game. While Newcastle will feel that they can have an edge over their opponents given that they are playing in conditions that are familiar to them, Dortmund are a side that are known to push the envelope when it comes to going out of their comfort zones. This will be quite an interesting clash at St James.
