Prediction: Borussia Dortmund vs. Newcastle United – Champions League Preview and Analysis – Nov 7, 2023
In a highly anticipated rematch in Champions League Group F, Borussia Dortmund faces Newcastle United on November 7, 2023, at 5:45 pm UK time. Revenge is on the agenda for Newcastle United after their 1-0 loss to Dortmund in the previous encounter.
Dortmund’s Defensive Solidity:
In their last meeting, Borussia Dortmund’s rock-solid defense stifled Newcastle United, leading to a 1-0 victory for the German side. Felix Nmecha scored the decisive goal, and Dortmund’s defense showed their mettle by thwarting Newcastle’s attacks. With both teams now level on four points in the group, the head-to-head record gives Dortmund the edge.
Despite a recent 4-0 loss to Bayern Munich in Der Klassiker, Borussia Dortmund has been historically strong at home in the Champions League. They have lost just one of their last 16 home group games in the competition, providing them with confidence ahead of this crucial match.
Newcastle’s Resurgence:
Newcastle United has undergone a resurgence since their loss to Dortmund. They secured impressive victories over Manchester United and Arsenal, marking two years since Eddie Howe’s appointment as manager. Their solid away form this season, with a five-game unbeaten run, adds to their confidence.
Historically, Newcastle has performed well in UEFA group stages, losing just three of their last 21 such games. Their strong form matches up well with their historical record of never losing away to German opponents.
Team News:
Dortmund has only three players in the treatment room, with Emre Can, Mateu Morey, and Julian Duranville dealing with injuries. They have several attacking options, with Karim Adeyemi and Felix Nmecha competing for starting spots.
Newcastle United, on the other hand, has several injury concerns, including Jacob Murphy, Dan Burn, Matt Targett, Alexander Isak, Harvey Barnes, Elliot Anderson, Sven Botman, and Javi Manquillo. With defensive issues, Tino Livramento could feature at left-back.
Borussia Dortmund holds the advantage in terms of historical home form in the Champions League, but Newcastle United’s recent resurgence and strong away record make this clash highly competitive. Both teams are on four points in the group and will be eager to secure a crucial victory.
Key Battle:
Julian Brandt’s potential return for Dortmund and Miguel Almirón’s attacking prowess for Newcastle could be key factors in this matchup. Brandt has a history of making an impact in important games, while Almirón has been instrumental for Newcastle.
