Newcastle United vs Athletic Club Preview and Team News
Newcastle United Team News
After a poor start to the season, Newcastle have improved their overall play. Despite a 1-3 loss to West Ham in the last round, they were riding a three-game winning streak before that, showcasing attacking soccer.
In the Champions League, the Magpies initially stumbled in a home match against Barcelona (1-2), but then bounced back. In the second round, they defeated Royale Union 4-0 and then Benfica 3-0.
In the upcoming clash, Newcastle will be without Harrison Ashby, Mark Gillespie, Jamaal Lascelles, Valentino Livramento, John Ruddy, and Yoane Wissa. The latter hasn’t featured since his transfer from Brentford. Anthony Gordon and Kieran Trippier are questionable.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Athletic Club (4-3-3): Pope; Krafth, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Guimaraes, Tonali, Ramsey; Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes.
Athletic Club Team News
Bilbao, on the other hand, have been struggling on every front. The Basques are currently short on initiative and have serious problems with finishing. To illustrate, they’ve suffered two consecutive defeats in LaLiga against Getafe (0-1) and Real Sociedad (2-3)
Their results from three rounds of the Champions League group stage aren’t great either. They lost to Arsenal 0-2 and Borussia Dortmund 1-4. The only bright spot was their 3-1 victory over Qarabag, but even there, they had to make a comeback.
There are serious concerns in the visitors’ camp. Inaki Williams, Maroan Sannadi, Benat Prados Diaz, Inigo Lekue, and Unai Egiluz are all sidelined. Nico Williams is also a doubt with a groin injury.
Athletic Club predicted lineup vs Newcastle United (4-2-3-1): Simon; Berchiche, Laporte, Vivian, Areso; Jauregizar, Rego; Gomez, Sancet, Berenguer; Guruzeta.

Newcastle United vs Athletic Club Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Newcastle (-1.5) Handicap
- Odds: +141 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Newcastle United 3-1 Athletic Club
Bilbao are unlikely to pose a decent challenge to Newcastle. The hosts have balanced their play and improved their results. Furthermore, they’ve secured two convincing victories in the Champions League by more than two goals.
The clubs have met three times in history, with Newcastle winning two and losing only one. However, Bilbao are far from their best form at the moment.
Furthermore, Eddie Howe’s men have won four home matches in a row across all competitions. Athletic Club will be without several key players, and we expect a comfortable victory for the Magpies.
Newcastle United vs Athletic Club Betting Tip
- Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
- Odds: -120 (Tonybet)
We’ve already seen the Magpies’ hot streak. They’re averaging 2.66 goals in the tournament, while Bilbao have failed to keep a single clean sheet.
In the ongoing Champions League campaign, all matches featuring Newcastle have ended with three goals or more, and two of Athletic’s three encounters have followed the same trend.
We expect an open game, with both sides pushing for a victory. Newcastle are aiming for the top spots, and even goal difference could prove crucial. We’re also counting on the visitors scoring at least once, as they’ve netted four goals so far.
