Who will win Newcastle United vs. Benfica?
Newcastle lost talismanic striker Alexander Isak ahead of their return to the Champions League, but replacement Nick Woltemade has performed admirably so far in his debut season on Tyneside.
The German is in excellent form going into this clash having scored four goals in his last five games for club and country, and he will need to be at his best given that the Magpies will be missing Yoane Wissa.
Howe's side are also without full-backs Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall due to injury, and the hosts will need to battle hard for the three points on Tuesday.
Meanwhile, the only matches that Benfica have lost in 2025-26 have been in the Champions League, though they did show some promise against Chelsea.
Mourinho remarked that he had no time to train with his squad prior to his return to Stamford Bridge due to the tight fixture schedule, but after a few weeks together - and a 2-0 win over Chaves at the weekend - the team are sure to play more in line with his vision.
Additionally, As Aguias have kept back-to-back clean sheets on the road heading into this game, while Newcastle have alternated between victory and defeat at St James' Park across all competitions this term, so the Magpies may see a draw as a positive result.
