NEWCASTLE UNITED V BENFICA PREDICTIONS

Newcastle face an uphill battle if they want to get through to the semi-finals of the Europa League after a 3-1 defeat in Portugal.

Newcastle took a shock lead in the first leg with Cisse scoring after just 13 minutes.  The lead didn’t last long though and Rodrigo equalised for Benfica after 25 minutes and from then on it looked like just one team was going to go on and win the match.  It took until the 65^th minute for Benfica to take the lead through Lima but they quickly doubled the advantage with a penalty from Cardozo to leave themselves in the driving seat in the tie.

Newcastle have more pressing worries in the Premier League but a weekend victory over Fulham has given them some breathing space.  The match looked to be finishing goalless but a 93^rd minute winner from that man Cisse got Newcastle all 3 points and moved them up to 13^th, 5 points ahead of the relegation zone.

Benfica continue to lead the Portuguese Primeira Liga after a weekend win over Olhanense.  They have a 4 point lead over Porto after 25 matches and are still undefeated.

NEWCASTLE UNITED – BENFICA BETTING TIPS

Newcastle know they need to score at least two goals to have any chance here so will be coming out and attacking.  This could play into the hands of Benfica though who are a quick side and good on the counter attack.

Benfica are small favourites here but I think the best bet is on a Newcastle win which you can find at 2.88 with bet365.  Sign up today at bet365 and get a 100% deposit bonus of up to £/€ 200.  Just click below for details!
