We are well into the league phase of the 2025/26 Champions League and are delighted to bring you our Newcastle vs Benfica prediction. Both teams will see this as a crucial match and one they simply cannot afford to lose if they are to increase their chances of progression to the knockout phase. The Benfica vs Newcastle odds with bet365 have Newcastle at 33/1 (34) to win the Champions League and Benfica at 200/1 (201). That suggests Newcastle United are the team who should come out on top in this match and they will start as the Newcastle vs Benfica favourites.
1. Newcastle vs Benfica Betting Predictions
We waste no time and begin our Newcastle vs Benfica preview with the best Newcastle vs Benfica predictions. Starting with the match winner, Newcastle lost their opening home fixture in the Champions League 2-1 to Barcelona but could easily have taken a point from the match. That means Newcastle have lost each of their last 3 home games in the competition, with the additional defeats coming against AC Milan and Borussia Dortmund.
Benfica are returning to England following a 1-0 loss in their game against Chelsea and a disappointing 3-2 home loss to Qarabag. However, prior to the match at Chelsea, Benfica have won 5 of their 6 away trips in the Champions League. While Newcastle at home is always a tough prospect, the Newcastle United F.C. vs. Benfica stats suggest this could be close and our Newcastle vs Benfica prediction is a draw.
In the three previous meetings between these clubs, two in the Europa League and one a friendly, both teams have scored. Both teams have scored in 3 of Newcastle’s last 4 home Champions League matches and the Newcastle vs Benfica odds suggest we could see more of the same in this fixture. Prior to their game at Chelsea, Benfica have seen both teams score in 3 of their last 4 games in the Champions League. Therefore, our next Benfica vs Newcastle prediction is for both teams to score. If you disagree and predict a clean sheet, read our clean sheet betting 101 guide for some useful tips.
If you would like to improve your Newcastle vs Benfica betting odds, you can combine the two markets above into one Newcastle vs Benfica prediction bet. You can bet at bet365 for the game to end level and both teams to score.
Next, we come to the correct score Newcastle Benfica prediction. The correct score offers bigger Newcastle Benfica Champions League 2025 odds but that is because the correct score is more difficult to predict. If we consider our previous Benfica vs Newcastle predictions, we have a draw and both teams to score. That makes both the 1-1 and 2-2 score an option, with 3-3 being least likely given Benfica have seen under 2.5 goals in each of their last 3 away Champions League matches prior to the trip to Chelsea. You can back the 1-1 correct score with bet365.
