Newcastle welcome Athletic Club to the Toon on Wednesday evening as they look to pick up their third win in their fourth Champions League match. Athletic Club have won one and lost two of their opening three.
Newcastle’s winning run was put to an end last time out against West Ham, but they had won the three games prior to that. In the league, they’ve won three, drawn three and lost four. They’re 13th in the Premier League and eighth in the Champions League.
Athletic Club have won just two games in their last 11 fixtures in all competitions, and have won only one of their three Champions League matches.
Newcastle vs Athletic Club Bet Builder Tip
BEST BET BUILDER TIP – Newcastle to win @ 1/2
I think Newcastle are good odds to win this one at home. They have won each of their last four matches at St James’ Park, conceding just one goal in the process and keeping three clean sheets. They did lose last time out away to West Ham, but I think they’ll have enough to overcome Athletic Club, who have failed to win in any of their last five matches away from home.
Nick Woltemade over 0.5 shots on target (2/5)
Nick Woltemade has scored six goals since joining Newcastle from VfB Stuttgart in the summer. Four of those have been in the Premier League, with one in the Champions League and one in the Carabao Cup. Newcastle will create a good amount of chances here, and I think he will manage at least one shot on target.
ALTERNATIVE BET – Nick Woltemade to score @ 6/5
Taking Woltemade to score boosts this bet builder to over 13/1. He has a 100% conversion rate in the Prem, with all four of his shots on target resulting in goals, so if he does get that shot on target, there’s a good chance it’ll be a goal.
Bruno Guimaraes over 1.5 fouls (4/5)
Bruno Guimaraes is not one for shying out of a tackle, and it’ll be no different here. He has been carded three times this season – all in the Premier League – and has committed 19 fouls, an average of over two per game. He’s also been fouled 24 times in that process, so you could look at adding him to be fouled more than twice as well, which would boost the odds of this bet.
Aitor Paredes to be carded (27/10)
Aitor Paredes is Athletic Club’s right-sided centre half, who has made 10 appearances for the Basque side this campaign. He has picked up two bookings in that time, one in La Liga and one in the Champions League. He doesn’t commit a massive amount of fouls, with just four in seven league games. However, he has made five fouls in three Champions League matches, and I think he will have to make a couple here against a strong Newcastle side. He’s good odds to pick up a card.
