Equipment Analysis

Newcastle

Current Form: Newcastle has had a difficult start to the season. Although Alexander Isak's transfer to Liverpool created uncertainty, coach Eddie Howe has managed to stabilize the team. In their last five Premier League games, they have accumulated seven points, currently occupying 13th place. In the Champions League, after losing to Barcelona (1-2), they achieved a resounding victory over Unión (4-0). However, they were defeated by Brighton (1-2) in their most recent participation.

Doubts and Injuries: For this match, Newcastle will be without key players such as Vissa, Livramento and Hall, which could impact their performance.

Betting Trends

They have won in the first half in three of their last five games.
They are winless in six of the last eight games in the Champions League.

Benfica

Current Form: Benfica started their Champions League campaign with a surprising home defeat against Qarabağ (2-3). After the change of coach, José Mourinho has not been able to reverse the situation, with another 0-1 defeat against Chelsea and a goalless draw against Porto. In the Primeira Liga, they are in third position, but four points behind the leader Porto.

Doubts and Injuries: On the physical side, Benfica faces significant absences, with players like Bada, Bruma and Manu out of action, and Prestianni's status is still uncertain.
