Newcastle vs Athletic Club Match Prediction
Newcastle and Athletic Club meet on Tyneside in a clash rich with working-class heritage and footballing pride.
Eddie Howe’s side have regained form after a slow start, combining intensity and control to earn back-to-back Champions League wins built on defensive solidity and the attacking influence of Anthony Gordon, who has scored in three straight European games.
Athletic Club, meanwhile, arrive buoyed by a win over Qarabağ but still battling defensive inconsistency, with goalkeeper Unai Simón struggling to match expected performance levels.
Their direct, wing-focused approach — led by the Williams brothers — could trouble Newcastle’s full-backs, particularly in transition.
With Newcastle unbeaten since Matchday 1 and Bilbao’s poor record on English soil, the Magpies enter as favourites to extend their momentum and tighten their grip on a top-16 spot.
Score Prediction: Newcastle 3-1 Athletic Club
