With the Joseph Marien Stadium not meeting UEFA requirements, Union St Gilloise will play their UEFA Champions League games at Lotto Park in Anderlecht, they’ll welcome Premier League side Newcastle United on Wednesday evening.

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

Union St Gilloise v Newcastle – Wednesday, 5.45pm

Punters can bet on Union St Gilloise v Newcastle with William Hill

Not many people gave Union St Gilloise a chance when they travelled to PSV in their UEFA Champions League curtain raiser but the Belgian side impressed and fully deserved their 3-1 victory and three points.
It’s now ten games unbeaten for Union SG in all competitions whilst they’ve not lost any of their last seven group/league phase games on home soil in Europe.
Sebastien Pocognoli’s side have kept just one clean sheet in their last eleven European games at home so more goals here in Anderlecht seems like a likely possibility.
——————————–
Newcastle United have won just two of their first eight games in all competitions which has been such a disappointment for Eddie Howe and co, in a season where so much was expected given their performance last season.
The Magpies were less than ten minutes away from a victory over Arsenal on Sunday afternoon but instead left St James Park with nothing to show for their efforts after conceding two late goals.
Eddie Howe’s side have only kept one clean sheet in their last twelve UEFA Champions League away games, so this one should be an entertaining affair and i’ll back the scoredraw, 2-2.
