Newcastle United XI vs Union SG – Predicted lineup and team news

In fact, this will be Union SG’s first-ever Champions League home match in front of what is sure to be a fervent crowd.

Several injuries are limiting Eddie Howe’s selection options for the trip to Brussels. He will be without Valentino Livramento, Jacob Ramsey, and Yoane Wissa, while Lewis Hall is also a doubt. There is some positive news in defence, however. Fabian Schär is expected to win his fitness battle to start alongside Sven Botman.

In midfield, Bruno Guimarães will drive the team forward. Indeed, he led all central midfielders in high-intensity pressures on matchday one. Meanwhile, Anthony Gordon provides the main threat in attack. He will be aiming to score in a second consecutive European game, a feat last achieved by a Newcastle player in 2004-05.
