Milan vs Newcastle preview

As mentioned, it's a momentous time for Newcastle and their supporters as Champions League football has arrived.

Last season's fourth place finish was all the club's hierarchy, players and fans wanted come the turn of the year and they managed to stay on strongly to land themselves a spot in the top tier of European football.

They last dined at the top table back in 2002/03 - over 20 years ago.

Much has changed since then but one thing has remained the same - they face a Milan side in the competition.

The Toon travel to the Italian city to take on Euro powerhouse Milan in the opening group stage tie.

With PSG and Borussia Dortmund to come in the competition, a fast start is imperative and they could take a big scalp with a win here.

It's not been the best of league starts for Eddie Howe's men, though they did get the better of Brentford on Saturday to ease the early season woes.

There had been no such woes for Milan who'd started with the full nine points from their three games, before Saturday's humiliating 5-1 defeat in the derby to Inter.

They need to bounce back but Newcastle could be a tough nut to crack.

Milan vs Newcastle betting tips

Newcastle win and both teams to score at 18/5 -

As Milan showed a few days ago, they can be got at and will concede chances.

Newcastle might be a bit edgy coming into this one given the size of the task at hand, but once they settle they can show their quality from last season.

Milan have conceded seven in their last three and Newcastle's pace on the counter, should the game play out that way, could be huge.

Isak to score anytime at 21/10 -

He was rested on Saturday with this game in mind and can make a big splash here.

Isak scored a brace on the opening day before a couple of quiet outings before the international break.

Scored on Sweden duty and can hit fresh here, with pace and power set to cause big issues to the hosts.

Sandro Tonali to be carded at 23/10 -

Picked up slight injury on international duty but made the bench at the weekend.

Likely just rested for this one as he heads back to face his old team.

Will be a force on the ball and also keen to get one over his former employees.
