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.
