NEWCASTLE V BENFICA BETTING FORM

Newcastle bounced back from a tough opening game against Barcelona with a convincing 4-0 victory over Union SG, leaving them 11^th in the Champions League standings. Despite a mixed start to their Premier League campaign, the Magpies will be encouraged by the performances of new signing Nick Woltemade. The towering German centre-forward has already shown his class, with four goals from his first five league games. Can he get up and running in the Champions League tonight?

Newcastle Recent Form
LOSS: Brighton 2-1 Newcastle, 18^th October - EPL.
WIN: Newcastle 2-0 Nottingham Forest, 5^th October - EPL.
WIN: Union Saint-Gilloise 0-4 Newcastle, 1^st October - UCL.

Benfica have had a difficult start to their Champions League campaign, losing both of their opening two games. A lacklustre loss to Chelsea came on the back of a shock loss to Azerbaijani side Qarabağ FK, a game in which Benfica squandered an early 2-0 lead. However, the Portuguese side’s league form has been solid, and with the “Special One” Jose Mourinho back at the helm, they will be tough for any opponent.

Benfica Recent Form
WIN: Chaves 0-1 Benfica, 17^th October - Taça de Portugal.
DRAW: Porto 0-0 Benfica, 5^th October – Liga Portugal.
LOSS: Chelsea 1-0 Benfica, 30^th September – UCL.

Despite their underdog status in this tie, Jose Mourinho’s record against Newcastle will give Benfica plenty of confidence. Sides led by the veteran manager have won 11 of 21 clashes against the Magpies, a trend that Mourinho’s men will be hoping continues tonight.

NEWCASTLE V BENFICA SPREAD BETTING PRICES

Spreadex also has a number of spread betting markets for Tuesday’s clash. Our “Goal Supremacy” market has Newcastle favoured by 0.95-1.15 goals. This means if you expect Newcastle to win, you would “buy” and if you expect either a draw or Benfica to win, you would “sell”.

Our popular “Total Goals” market is currently set at 2.9-3.1. This is for the total number of goals scored in the match by both teams. If you’re expecting a high-scoring game, you can “buy” on this market. You would then need at least four goals in the game to turn a profit, with this winning 0.9x your stake, a five-goal game winning 1.9x your stake, and so on. However, if there were three goals or fewer in the match, you would lose money, with a goalless draw losing you 3.1x your stake.

If you expect a lower-scoring affair, you would “sell”. In this case, you would need fewer than two goals to turn a profit. A 0-0 draw would win you 2.9 times your stake if you sold, but if the game finished 4-2 you would lose 3.1 times your stake.
