Champions League Betting Preview: Newcastle vs Athletic Club

Premier League club Newcastle host Spanish La Liga team Athletic Club in this Champions League match at St James' Park, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Wednesday 5 November. Our betting preview features expert predictions, betting tips, the latest odds, H2H stats, team news and both predicted and confirmed lineups.

Newcastle -1 on the Asian Handicap means we need a two goal or bigger margin of victory to win this bet at -127 against Athletic Club. A one goal victory for the favourites would mean money back.

Newcastle United were beaten last game and this was on the road at London Stadium. West Ham United claimed a 3-1 Premier League victory. The Magpies boasted 62% possession and had four shots on target, with Jacob Murphy registering the goal.

Athletic Club lost on the road in their previous game. Real Sociedad won 3-2 at Reale Arena in La Liga. Ernesto Valverde's team had 49% of possession and four shots on goal, while Gorka Guruzeta and Robert Navarro were both on target.
