LiontipsNewcastle - Benfica: betting tip (cf 2.15) and bets on the Champions League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Newcastle had a difficult start to the season, and it took a long time to resolve the issue of Isak's transfer to Liverpool, whom the management did not want to let go. Nevertheless, we should pay tribute to Eddie Howe, who stabilized the game of his players, and the results came. In the Premier League, the Magpies have scored seven points in the last five rounds, and they still occupy a modest 13th place. In the Champions League, after the opening defeat against Barcelona (1:2), they managed to defeat Union with a score of 4 in the second round.:0. With three points in the asset, Newcastle is in 11th position in the table. On the eve of the European Cup game in the Premier League, the Magpies lost on the road to Brighton (1:2).

Current form
Benfica started in the Champions League with a sensational home defeat against Qarabag (2:3). After that failure, there was a change of coach, but it cannot be said that with the arrival of Jose Mourinho, the results immediately went up sharply. In the second round of the Champions League, the Eagles lost to Chelsea on the road with a minimum score of 0:1. Next was a goalless draw in the main match in the Primeira with Porto. In the national championship standings, Benfica is in third place after eight rounds and is already four points behind the leading Porto. In the Champions League, the team is on the 33rd line without a single point.

7.60Tip and bets
Benfica lost in the opening two rounds and put themselves in a difficult position.: another setback will significantly complicate a possible exit to the playoffs. Undoubtedly, the experience of Jose Mourinho and his ability to set up his players for such important matches can come to the fore today. Newcastle has improved noticeably lately, but the defeat the day before against Brighton with two goals conceded clearly demonstrated that there are still plenty of problems. We believe that the bookmakers in this pair somewhat overestimate the possibilities of the magpies.
Our prediction is that Benfica will win with an Asian handicap (+1) for a coefficient of 1.84
Bet on the total
The tournament position obliges Benfica to play reliably in defense. Basically, everything is fine with that now: we conceded only one goal from Chelsea, and we played zero against Porto. Newcastle is also unlikely to take an unjustified risk, even one point, in general, will be quite a decent result for the magpies today. We are not expecting any scoring extravaganza in this match.
The betting tip is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.15
Betting on corners
According to the statistics of the corners, we note that in three of the four previous matches of Newcastle, more than nine corners were completed. There is a high probability that there will be at least nine innings from the corner flag in the match today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.80
