- Venue: BayArena (Leverkusen)
Newcastle this week travels to BayArena, where they will meet Bayer Leverkusen in another interesting Champions League match. Both teams were solid in the first five rounds of the competition and should have a solid chance for at least the 1/16 final phase. Will we see another high-scoring game from these two teams? Let's find out the best betting option for this tie.
H2H stats
Bayer Leverkusen and Newcastle have only two H2H matches. Both games were in 2003, when the English side won 3-1 twice.
Bayer Leverkusen team overview
Bayer Leverkusen have another good season. In the Bundesliga, they are not competitive with Bayern, but the team from BayArena should be good enough to remain one of the top four teams. In the Champions League, Bayer started poorly with only two points after the first three rounds, but they won the following two matches, and now Kasper Hjulmand's team seems in a good position to qualify for the knockout phase.
After exceptional form and four wins in a row, Bayer Leverkusen lost two of the last three matches. In the previous game, they lost 2-0 on the road against Augsburg. The guests were solid, especially in the second half, but a lack of efficiency cost them points.
Ezequiel Fernandez and Exequiel Palacios are injured and will not play on Wednesday against Newcastle. Also, Arthur and Axel Tape are questionable, and their status will be clearer closer to the game.

Newcastle team overview
Newcastle are underachieving this season. They are only a mid-table team in the Premier League, but a few good results could propel them into the Champions League positions. However, Eddie Howe's team is playing well in the most elite continental competition, where they are only one point behind the top eight teams in the competition.
Newcastle are in solid form lately. They have not lost in the last three matches in a row. In the most recent outing, Newcastle won 2-1 at home against Burnley. Excellent first half and two goals were enough for Eddie Howe's team to secure another victory.
Eddie Howe has been Newcastle manager for the last four years, and he has won only one trophy (the EFL Cup last season). After a poor Premier League performance this campaign, there are voices calling for Howe's sacking. However, the board still shows him support, but if things don't change, it will not be surprising if the manager loses his job.
Newcastle have some problems with missing players, too. Sven Botman, Will Osula, and Nick Pope are out for a trip to Leverkusen, while Emil Krafth is questionable.
