Team News

Newcastle
Borussia Dortmund
  • Newcastle could remain without the likes of Sven Botman, Harvey Barnes and Joe Willock for their third Champions League group clash.
  • Callum Wilson made a scoring return to the starting XI against Crystal Palace at the weekend, and should keep his place.
  • Sandro Tonali is set to be banned from football for 10 months after tonight's game, and he should start what is expected to be his final appearance until next season.
  • Thomas Meunier, Mateu Morey, Youssoufa Moukoko and Julien Duranville are all sidelined for the trip to Newcastle.

Prediction

  • Newcastle extended their unbeaten run to eight matches with a 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon.
  • The Magpies have now won five consecutive home matches, including victories over Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain.
  • Eddie Howe's side currently top Group F, with four points from their two matches so far.
  • Borussia Dortmund continued their fine recent form with a win at home to Werder Bremen at the weekend.
  • BVB are now five games unbeaten, and last tasted defeat in their group opener against PSG.
  • If the hosts perform at a level even close to that which they did in their last European fixture, a home victory can be the only outcome.

  • Dear administrators! In your statistics, you missed a shot on target from Shakhtar's player Zubkov at 11:15 of the match. Please correct this information. In UEFA site Zubcov made 2 attempts. In your site only 1 at 79 minutes. But first his shot on target was at 11:15.

  • Looks like a lot bets went down the drain. No btts / over / Newcastle win.

  • Less than two goals

  • Tonali is on the subs bench looking at his phone -)

  • should be more fun, from 2-1, 2-2 to 3-2. all range of scores

  • Over 2.5 goals.

  • Newcastle v Dortmond (GG)

  • 3-0 or 3-1

  • 3-2

  • Dortmund are running out of time if they don’t show any result here. While it’s a mountain climbing task to win against Newcastle but they will attack and try to find back of the net at least once. Both teams to score & o2.5 - 1.92

  • Another home win for Newcastle in the UCL. It wouldn't surprise me if Newcastle reach the semi finals this season.

  • Both teams have scored in 6 of Dortmunds last 8 away matches.

  • Newcastle to win.

  • 1-1
