Best Tip: Newcastle to win

As the stadium fills and the Newcastle players prepare themselves for this game, the bookies are predicting a win for them. The odds and our pre-match statistics below suggest the same, as does the historical head-to-head (H2H) information we factor into our predictive algorithms. The St. James' Park hasn't been a successful away day for A.Bilbao in the past, and we we'd back more of the same on Wednesday night. A win / draw / win home win is the bet.

If you’re looking for a winner in this match, we think Newcastle are the most likely. Our predictive algorithm gives them a 63% chance of victory, and the bookies have them at a best price of 1.55.
