A thrilling final game in Group F is set for Wednesday, as Newcastle and AC Milan both chase a victory that could secure their place in the next round of the competition. However, both will be relying on a favor from Borussia Dortmund, as the German side hosts PSG.
Before Betting On Newcastle vs AC Milan
A massive match in the Champions League is set for Wednesday, as Newcastle welcome AC Milan to St. James’ Park. The hosts will need a victory in their home match to stand any chance of a place in the knockout round. Newcastle have won just once in their five matches in the competition this term, with their only success being recorded against PSG on matchday two.
Milan will also still have hopes of reaching the next round of the competition, as they could finish second if they claim a victory in England this week. However, both sides will also be relying on a Dortmund win in their final match in the competition against PSG in Germany.
This will only be the second time that these two sides have clashed, with the previous encounter ending in a 0-0 draw on matchday one. Milan are the first Italian visitors to St. James’ Park since Inter landed a 4-1 success in the Champions League in November 2002. However, Milan’s record away from home against English opposition is poor, as they have landed just one victory on their previous 21 visits.
Newcastle will also be looking for a response this week, as they suffered defeat against Dortmund in their previous home match in the competition. They have never lost consecutive home matches in the major European competition. Meanwhile, Milan will be looking to avoid finishing bottom of the Champions League group standings for the third time in their history.
Newcastle vs AC Milan Offshore Odds & Pick
Milan’s record in England is hard to ignore this week. Newcastle’s injury issues continue to pile up, and that would be a concern. Therefore, we could see both sides missing out on a place in the next round, with a draw being a likely outcome.
