Expect a thrilling atmosphere at St. James’ Park when Newcastle take on Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League round 4. The Magpies produced an under-par performance in Sunday’s 3-1 loss at West Ham United, but it is well known that they produce much better showings on home soil. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but all Valentino Livramento, Harrison Ashby, and Yoane Wissa remain on the sidelines.
The Lions, on the other hand, failed to impress in back-to-back losses to Getafe (0-1) and their local rivals Real Sociedad (2-3). With influential attacker Inaki Williams remaining in the recovery room alongside Prados Diaz, Sannadi, and Lekue, we are tempted to place our bets on the Premier League outfit. As always, a man to watch in the away side will be Inaki’s brother Nico Williams, who came off the bench in Sunday's Basque derby.
This Champions League match will be played on Wednesday 5 November 2025 at 20:00.
