Match Preview

Newcastle United scored twice in the first half against Benfica despite conceding two early. Eddie Howe missed over ten players who could have made a record in the tie.

Joelinton was sent off in the 82nd minute after receiving a second booking. Nonetheless, the Magpies were better but could not convert their chances amid the overwhelming crowd at the 65,647 capacity Estádio do Sport Lisboa e Benfica Stadium.  

Newcastle United had an impressive performance last season in the Premier League, and Eddie Howe is expected to surpass last season’s achievement.

Bruno Guimarães was in fine form against SL Benfica and could be making the starting lineup against the Italians.

Atalanta defeated Como 4-0 in their last outing in the preseason. 

What are your expectations? Will Eddie Howe take Newcastle United to the Champions League next season with the club’s current squad?
