Game Preview
In the Group F matchup, Newcastle United and Borussia Dortmund square off at St. James’ Park. The Magpies want to hold onto first place in the table. Given their outstanding display in the 4-1 demolition of PSG and their recent 4-0 thrashing of Crystal Palace, Newcastle should unquestionably have a good home advantage. While the Bundesliga team did manage a spirited 1-0 victory over Werder Bremen during this past weekend, they will have considerably tougher challenges when they face Newcastle United, who have transformed St. James’ Park into a true fortress.
After dropping 3 of the initial 4 matches this campaign, Howe’s team added 4 more points to their current domestic tally on each side of the most recent international break. With Saturday’s 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace, they have currently won 6 of their past 8 matches and scored 20 goals in that time. Newcastle is now prepared for their return to European competition, where they have never fallen to German opposition. As a result of beating Palace, Newcastle climbed up to 6th in the Premier League table. Barnes, Botman, and Willock, among others, should be out for the home team due to injuries.
The 1997 European champions, however, risk having their tournament run cut prematurely at the opening stage since a loss on Wednesday could leave their chances of leaving the “Group of Death” hanging by a mere thread with just a single point out of a potential 6 in Group F. Even so, they enter England unbeaten in the Bundesliga after recently winning their 5th straight German league match on Friday night. Julian Brandt’s goal made it 25 home matches without a loss in any competition. They currently stand in 4th place just 2 points below leading team Bayer Leverkusen in the German top-flight. Thomas Meunier, Julien Duranville, Youssouf Moukoko, and Mateu Morey all remain out of the running due to injuries.
