Newcastle hosts Benfica seeking their second victory in the competition. Benfica is seeking their first.

Newcastle, after winning two games, lost at Brighton over the weekend. Now they return to play at their home stadium, where they are a strong team. Barcelona won at this stadium in the opening round of the Champions League but struggled. The Magpies held on for a decisive 4-0 victory over Union SG in their most recent continental outing.

Newcastle, with Isak's departure to Liverpool, has weakened in attack and is having a weaker season than last season. If they want to finish in the Champions League spots, they need to play more and better.

Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall are out due to injuries.

Benfica played two Champions League games and lost both. With the defeat against Qarabag, the team significantly complicated their chances of advancing to the next round. They also lost against Chelsea but put in a better performance. José Mourinho arrived a few weeks ago to coach Benfica, but the truth is that under him, the team isn't playing well and is playing too defensively. Against Porto, he used a defensive tactic and played to avoid defeat. In this game, Benfica has to win, and even so, he won't change his defensive posture. He did so against Porto and will do the same in this one.

Last weekend, they played for the cup and defeated Chaves, but once again their performance was poor.

There are no new injuries to the team.

Benfica will give the ball to Newcastle. Benfica isn't very strong defensively and i don't see how they'll be able to take points from the English team because Benfica's style of play isn't convincing. Newcastle's coach says his team desperately needs a win to boost his players' confidence for the upcoming matches. Newcastle will dominate the match, have more chances, and will win.

纽卡斯尔主场迎战本菲卡，寻求他们在联赛中的第二场胜利。本菲卡正在寻求他们的第一个。

纽卡斯尔在赢得两场比赛后，在周末输给了布莱顿。现在他们回到了他们的主场，他们是一支强大的球队。巴塞罗那在这个球场赢得了冠军联赛的首轮比赛，但表现不佳。喜鹊在最近一次欧洲大陆的比赛中以4-0的比分决定性地战胜了联合SG。

随着伊萨克转会到利物浦，纽卡斯尔在进攻端有所削弱，本赛季的表现比上赛季更弱。如果他们想晋级欧冠，他们需要踢得更多更好。

利夫拉曼托和路易斯·霍尔因伤缺阵。

本菲卡打了两场欧冠比赛，都输了。由于输给了卡拉巴格，这支球队进入下一轮的可能性大大增加了。他们也输给了切尔西，但表现得更好。穆里尼奥几周前来到本菲卡执教，但事实是，在他的带领下，球队踢得不好，而且打得太守了。在对阵波尔图的比赛中，他采用了防守战术，避免了失败。在这场比赛中，本菲卡必须赢，即使如此，他也不会改变他的防守姿势。他在对阵波尔图的比赛中做到了这一点，在这场比赛中也会如此。

上周末，他们为杯赛而战，击败了查韦斯，但他们的表现又一次很差。

球队没有新的伤病。

本菲卡将把球传给纽卡斯尔。本菲卡的防守不是很强，我不知道他们怎么能从英格兰球队那里拿分，因为本菲卡的打法不令人信服。纽卡斯尔的教练说他的球队迫切需要一场胜利来增强球员们对即将到来的比赛的信心。纽卡斯尔会控制比赛，有更多的机会，并且会赢。
