A match that decides the fate of two teams, two teams that have not seen the light of the Champions League RO16 in quite a while. With both standing at four points with the same results (a win, a loss, and a draw) in the group stage, the ‘Group Of Death’ lives up to its name. Newcastle United remains in second place following their victory against Paris Saint-Germain, which ended in a 4-1 triumph and gave Howe’s men a +3 goal difference. This position is maintained despite their last defeat against Dortmund, owed largely to their favourable goal difference. That is indeed the tiny but important thread that separates Dortmund and Newcastle, a decider for a Champions League or Europa League spot.
Additionally, the table can still change much in the group depending on how AC Milan performs against Paris Saint-Germain. AC Milan might only have two points and is last in the group, but a victory brings them to 5 points, therefore surpassing the possible defeated side of tonight’s Dortmund vs Newcastle clash. Talk about fun calculation in the group of death, a Champions League classic!

Borussia Dortmund vs Newcastle United Prediction and Odds
- Pick: Newcastle United to win
- Odds: +159 (Tonybet)
At the Signal Iduna Park, you never know what to expect. Dortmund’s fortunes have been a tale of contrasts; they secured a win against Newcastle away from home, only to suffer a heavy defeat due to costly mistakes in Der Klassiker against their eternal rival, Bayern Munich, with a scoreline of 0-4. That’s the magic of Dortmund.
Newcastle United unexpectedly put up a strong fight to secure three points against Arteta’s Arsenal, capitalizing on minor errors to turn them into a significant advantage. Morale will be high, and these are probably the ‘easiest’ three points Newcastle can take home, though the Signal Iduna Park is always noisy, and Howe’s men will have to prove they’ve learned a lesson from their previous defeat (0-1).
Borussia Dortmund vs Newcastle United Betting Tips
- Pick: Callum Wilson to score
- Odds: +152 (Tonybet)
There are many reasons to believe that Newcastle has learned its lesson, and Howe’s analysts certainly did take notes from Borussia Dortmund’s defeat against Bayern Munich to see how to dismantle and isolate Schlotterbeck, often prone to errors under pressure.
Callum Wilson has not scored yet in the Champions League, and he didn’t score against Arsenal either (Gordon being the only scorer). So it’s likely to see him score, full of hunger, as he did previously score two against Wolves and one against Crystal Palace. He’ll have learned from the mistimed positioning in the previous game against Dortmund. With Bruno Guimaraes driving Newcastle’s chance creation and their pressing scheme poised to stifle Dortmund, Callum should receive improved service. This could be his opportunity to justify the #9 jersey for Newcastle United by scoring his first goal in the Champions League and redeeming his earlier performance.
