Borussia could spend this season as the reigning German champions, but the Bumblebees lost the title in the final round, and it will be highly problematic for them to reach the new one. The team is doing much worse in the current Bundesliga season and is only fourth in the standings, seven points behind the leaders. The Champions League has also started a bit hard for the Black-and-Yellows, as in the first round, they lost away to PSG - 0:2, followed by a home draw with AC Milan, but in England, they still managed to get a crucial win over Newcastle - 1:0, which allows them to occupy second place in Group F.

For Newcastle United, this season has started hard. In the four starting rounds, they collected only three points, but their opponents in this stretch were Aston Villa, Man City, Liverpool, and Brighton. After that, they had an easier calendar, which they took advantage of, winning five of their next seven games with two draws, and in the last round, they beat Arsenal 1:0 thanks to Anthony Gordon's goal. This breakthrough allowed the Black and Whites to climb to sixth place in the EPL standings. But in the Champions League, things are worse for the English, as they started with a draw against AC Milan - 0:0, then beat PSG - 4:1, but Borussia Dortmund suffered a home defeat - 0:1, which sent Newcastle to third place in Group F.

Borussia and Newcastle have four points each. Still, the German team has a strategic advantage in the face-to-face rivalry, having won the first face-to-face meeting in England - 1:0, so now the Bumblebees will be satisfied with a draw. But for the Magpies, a draw is unlikely to be a good result in fighting for a playoff spot, so they will have to take risks, trying to find their chances in attack. This scenario will allow Edin Terzic's men to run on the counter-attack, which they do superbly.

Borussia Dortmund and Newcastle are playing surprisingly cautious and close in the current Champions League. Still, gradually, the tense tournament situation will force them to take risks, and that's why there should be many more goals in the second round of the group stage. Moreover, the Bumblebees have scored 11 goals in their last three matches (3.67 average per game), while the Magpies have scored and conceded a combined 19 goals (4.75 average per game) in their previous four away games.
