St James’ Park will be absolutely rocking for this one as Newcastle United welcome two-time European winners Benfica in this UEFA Champions League clash.

Now, let’s take a closer look at some Champions League odds and betting angles for Tuesday’s fixture:

Newcastle United v Benfica – Tuesday, 8pm

Punters can bet on Newcastle United v Benfica with William Hill

Newcastle bounced back from their defeat here on Matchday one of the UEFA Champions League against Barcelona with an emphatic 4-0 victory away to Union Saint-Gilloise in Belgium, Eddie Howe will be hoping for a similar reaction here after a 2-1 defeat to Brighton on Saturday.
Victory here at St James’ Park would secure back-to-back wins in the Champions League for the first time since February 2003 for the Magpies although recent UCL home games don’t fill them with too much confidence, having lost each of their last three.
Newcastle have scored twice in just four of their first eleven games this season but with new striker Nick Woltemade scoring in five of his last six games with the Magpies, Eddie Howe will be hoping that can inspire this side on Tuesday night.
——————————–
Jose Mourinho heads back to England after already losing 1-0 to Chelsea on his return with Benfica, the Eagles drew 0-0 with Porto after that defeat and head to the North East of England off the back of a 2-0 victory away to Chaves, this is Benfica’s fourth away game in a row.
Benfica’s trips to England over the years haven’t been great, they’ve won just one of their last nine European trips here , whilst they’ve lost just one of their last fifteen away games in all competitions.
The betting odds favour Newcastle United here with their home advantage but there’s just something about Jose Mourinho in Europe that make’s him hard to beat, i’m going to back a draw in this one with both teams scoring.

Prediction: Newcastle United 1-1 Benfica, Nick Woltemade To Score Assisted By Either Anthony Gordon or Anthony Elanga (#YourOdds)
