Football Predictions
Newcastle United return to the Champions League on Tuesday night as they welcome Borussia Dortmund to St James’ Park.
Less than a month after thrashing Paris Saint-Germain 4-1, Eddie Howe’s side are ready to face another sterner test in Dortmund who are unbeaten in their last five games in the Bundesliga. The host have also turned St James’ Park into something of a fortress too and have now won five games in a row there and only conceded one goal.
Dortmund have yet to score in the group after a 2-0 defeat in Paris and a goalless draw against AC Milan in their next game.
H2H / Stats
The two teams have never played against each other
Team News
Due to injuries, the team will miss Sven Botman, Joe Willock, Harvey Barnes, and Lewis Miley. On the other hand, Alexander Isak, who withdrew from international duty due to a knee injury, played limited minutes vs Crystal Palace and should be ready for the Champions League game.
Players who missed the previous games due to injuries will also miss the upcoming game vs Newcastle: Youssoufa Moukoko, Mateu Morey, Thomas Meunier, and Julien Duranville. Still, those players are primarily backup options for this team.
Probable Line Up
Newcastle United XI: Pope (GK), Trippier, Schar, Lascelles, Burn, Longstaff, Guimaraes, Joelinton, Almiron, Isak, Gordon
Dortmund XI: Kobel (GK), Wolf, Hummels, Schlotterbeck, Ryerson, Malen, Nmecha, Can, Reus, Brandt, Fullkrug
Verdict
Beating Newcastle at St James’ Park looks like one of the biggest tests in European football right now. And with their vociferous home fans, this will be another huge test for Dortmund.
