Match Preview and Team Form
Since their return to the Champions League, Newcastle has yet to find their rhythm. Eddie Howe's side has collected only one point from their opening two matches, drawing 0-0 with Feyenoord and losing 1-0 to Real Madrid. The 'Magpies' are yet to score a single goal in this year's competition. In their domestic league, Newcastle has also been inconsistent, alternating between wins and losses. The match against Benfica is key to keeping their hopes of advancing from the group alive.
Benfica is also in a difficult position. The Lisbon 'Eagles' started their Champions League campaign with two draws: 0-0 against Atlético Madrid and 1-1 against Union Saint-Gilloise. In the Portuguese league, the team has also shown some instability, currently sitting in the middle of the table. This away match will be a serious test for Benfica and an opportunity to secure their first win in the group.
Head-to-Head History
The history of official confrontations between these teams includes two matches, which took place in the quarter-finals of the 2012/13 Europa League. On that occasion, Benfica came out on top: after a 3-1 home victory, the Portuguese side drew 1-1 in Newcastle to advance to the next round.
Newcastle United vs Benfica Prediction
Experts give a slight edge to Newcastle due to the home-field advantage. St. James' Park is renowned for its incredible atmosphere, which should help the 'Magpies' in this decisive match. However, both teams have been struggling in attack, which could lead to a cagey and cautious game.
- Likely Outcome: A victory for Newcastle. The motivation to secure their first win and the support of the home crowd should help the hosts break down the resistance of the Portuguese club.
- Total Goals Bet: Considering that both teams have only scored one goal between them in the current Champions League campaign, a bet on 'Under 2.5 goals' looks highly probable.
- Key Factor: A battle between two teams in desperate need of a win. The home-stadium factor could be the decisive advantage for Newcastle.
