The Magpies are fresh from an impressive 4-0 victory over Union Saint-Gilloise in their last clash. They will look to continue their momentum, while the visitors are still searching for their first point of the campaign.<\/p><p>Eddie Howe&rsquo;s side have had a mixed start to the season but showed their best version in Europe last time out. After falling 2-1 to Barcelona in their opener, Newcastle bounced back emphatically in Brussels. They produced a dominant performance that reignited their hopes of reaching the knockout rounds for the first time in their history. With confidence high and a passionate home crowd behind them, the Magpies will be eager to build on that success and make St. James&rsquo; Park a fortress.<\/p><figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you for your incredible support this afternoon &#128420;&#129293;<br><br>We'll see you at St. James' Park on Tuesday in the Champions League &#128170; <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6orVVMk6C8\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>pic.twitter.com\/6orVVMk6C8<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Newcastle United (@NUFC) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NUFC\/status\/1979595216756830419?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>October 18, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newcastle United vs Benfica Best Bets<\/h2><figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><td><strong>Bets<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Moneyline<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>Moneyline<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Full Time Result<\/td><td>Newcastle United: -165, Benfica: +425<\/td><td>Draw: +320<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Draw No Bet<\/td><td>Newcastle United: -450<\/td><td>Benfica: +275<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total Goals<\/td><td>Over 2.5: -145<\/td><td>Under 2.5: +105<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Newcastle United to Win and Both Teams to Score<\/td><td>Yes: +220<\/td><td>No: +170<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Benfica to Win and Both Teams to Score<\/td><td>Yes: +750<\/td><td>No: +750<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure><p>(Odds via&nbsp;<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-BetMGM\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>BetMGM<\/a><\/strong>)<\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newcastle United vs Benfica Preview<\/h2><p>Consistency remains an issue for Newcastle. Their recent 2-1 Premier League defeat to Brighton ended a short winning streak and highlighted defensive vulnerabilities that Benfica could look to exploit. Howe&rsquo;s men currently sit mid-table in Premier League but know that a win here would place them firmly in contention for qualification.<\/p><p>On the other hand, Benfica enter the contest under pressure after back-to-back defeats in the Champions League, including a narrow 1-0 loss to Chelsea and a shock 3-2 home defeat to Qarabag. Under new manager Jose Mourinho, the Portuguese giants are still finding their rhythm, though a recent 2-0 cup win over Chaves and a hard-fought draw against Porto in the league have steadied the ship somewhat.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/marc-guehi-set-to-leave-crystal-palace-next-year-after-rejecting-new-contract\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Marc Guehi Set To Leave Crystal Palace Next Year After Rejecting New Contract<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newcastle United vs Benfica Over\/Under Predictions<\/h2><h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/go-betmgm-sportsbetting-us-en\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Over 2.5 Goals @ -145 as per BetMGM<\/a><\/strong><\/h3><p>Over 2.5 Goals looks like a strong pick for Newcastle United vs Benfica, given both teams&rsquo; recent form and attacking tendencies.

With Newcastle eager to dominate at home and Benfica desperate to get their first Champions League points, this clash is likely to open up quickly, making three or more goals a strong

The German forward has been in excellent form since joining Newcastle, netting four goals in five Premier League matches and adding another in the Champions League. His sharp positioning and aerial presence make him a consistent threat inside the box, especially against a Benfica defense that has kept just one clean sheet in their last five games across all competitions. With Newcastle creating plenty of chances at home and Woltemade emerging as their focal point in attack, I am backing him to find the net again here.<\/p><p><strong>Also Read: <a href=\"https:\/\/theplayoffs.news\/en\/ange-postecoglou-sacked-after-record-39-day-nottingham-forest-spell\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" class=\"trk-cta-link\" data-cta-trk='{\"ctaType\":\"Link\",\"ctaSubType\":\"main\"}'>Ange Postecoglou Sacked After Record 39-Day Nottingham Forest Spell<\/a><\/strong><\/p><h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newcastle United vs Benfica Final Scoreline Prediction<\/h2><p>With Newcastle&rsquo;s attacking firepower and Benfica&rsquo;s renewed determination under Mourinho, this clash promises to be an intriguing tactical battle.
