Newcastle vs. Dortmund: Preview, tips, odds, live stream

Newcastle will confirm their excellent form on Wednesday, challenging Borussia Dortmund at home. The surprise leader of the group of death is also on fire in the league, what to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Newcastle vs. Dortmund analysis, preview

Newcastle are off to a torrid start, winning six of their last eight games and drawing twice. They lead their Champions League group with four points and are sixth in the league, four points behind the Top 4.

Dortmund are managing to manage the league, but they are not staying in the big games. In the Champions League they fell in Paris and only drew at home to AC Milan. In the Bundesliga they are fourth, but the balance of the competition means they are only two points behind the top spot.

Newcastle’s key figures

Kieran Trippier is the home side’s assist champion, with seven accurate passes to his name at the moment. On the wing, speedy dribbler Anthony Gordon, author of three goals and two assists, is coming into great form.

Dortmund’s key figures

German international Julian Brandt shines in the visitors’ midfield, assisting five times in addition to four accurate shots. In attack, speedster Donyell Malen is rampant, the Dutchman also struck four times and added two goal assists.

Newcastle vs. Dortmund odds, betting tips

While last year the Magpies boasted a sophisticated defence, this year they have the best offensive line in the entire Premier League with 24 shots. In their last six games, they have netted a whopping 21 goals, an average of 3.5 goals per game.

Dortmund, on the other hand, remain behind expectations in attack. 17 league goals is the lowest number among the top 6 teams in the league table. They have scored more than once in only two of their last six games.

Considering the completely different form of the two offensives and the incredibly boisterous atmosphere at St. James’s Park in recent months, one would expect the home side to win.
