Newcastle travel to Belgium to take on Union Saint-Gilloise in the Champions League on Wednesday, and our tips for the clash can be backed in a 13/2 bet builder.
MD2 of the Champions League league phase continues on Wednesday evening, with Belgian champions Union Saint-Gilloise hosting Newcastle in one of two early kick-offs at 17:45.
The Magpies head into the tie off the back of a narrow 2-1 defeat at home against Arsenal.
Summer signing Nick Woltemade gave Eddie Howe’s side the lead after 34 minutes, however the Gunners struck back to snatch all three points in the 84th and 96th minutes.
As for their league phase opener, they suffered a 2-1 loss at home to LaLiga giants Barcelona.
Meanwhile, USG defeated PSV 3-1 on MD1, and they head into continental play having gone unbeaten in 10 successive matches across all competitions since losing their season opener.
This run includes victories in each of their last five games, with Sebastien Pocognoli’s side overcoming Genk 2-1 and Westerlo 2-0 following their triumph over PSV two weeks ago.

Newcastle to Win @ Evens
Our first tip for Wednesday’s clash is for out-of-form Newcastle to come out on top.
The Magpies have won just two of their eight competitive matches thus far this term, while Union Saint-Gilloise are in excellent form with eight wins from their last 10 in all competitions.
Despite this, the visitors are favoured by bookmakers to prevail in the Belgian capital ahead of kick-off, and that can largely be put down to the quality of the Premier League.
Looking to bounce back after Sunday’s painful defeat at home by Arsenal, at evens, there’s clear value in taking a punt on the Tyneside club to claim victory in this one.
Nick Woltemade to Score at Any Time @ 15/8
Following the departure of Alexander Isak to Liverpool, Newcastle completed the signing of Yoane Wissa from Brentford, as well as Germany international Woltemade from Stuttgart.
The former is yet to make an appearance due to injury and remains ruled out for the trip to Union Saint-Gilloise, while the latter has already chipped in with two goals for his new club.
He opened his account by scoring the winner against Wolves on his debut earlier in the month, before adding a second to his tally with a fine header in the 2-1 loss to Arsenal on Sunday.
Likely to lead the line, we see value in backing Woltemade to get on the scoresheet at 15/8.
Promise David – Over 0.5 Shots on Target @ 4/6
Finally, we’re backing Promise David to register one shot on target for Union Saint-Gilloise.
The Canadian has scored in each of his last three appearances for USG, thus hitting the target in each of his last three matches, including scoring from the spot against PSV on MD1.
He is averaging 1.0 SOTs per game in the Belgian Pro League this term, having started in each of his side’s last three league outings, and we see him as a prime candidate to test Nick Pope here.
