Prediction and Preview

Newcastle United 3 - 2 Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen possible starting lineup:

Flekken; Quansah, Bade, Belocian; Poku, Garcia, Maza, Grimaldo; Tillman, Kofane; Schick

Newcastle United possible starting lineup:

Ramsdale; Livramento, Schar, Thiaw, Hall; Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton; Elanga, Woltemade, Gordon

Leverkusen’s marquee summer signing Jarell Quansah is expected to slot straight into the XI, with the centre-back set to form part of a back three alongside Loïc Badé and Jeanuel Belocian.

In midfield, the absence of Exequiel Palacios due to a groin problem opens the door for Aleix García or Ibrahim Maza to earn starting berths.

Further forward, Patrik Schick should lead the line as the central striker, flanked by Christian Kofané and Malik Tillman.

At the other end, Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale is almost certain to keep his place behind centre-backs Fabian Schär and Malick Thiaw, with Nick Pope still sidelined.

Despite the team’s mixed performances, Bruno Guimarães has continued to shine in midfield and may once again be partnered by Sandro Tonali and Joelinton.

Up front, Nick Woltemade is a guaranteed starter, while Anthony Gordon and Anthony Elanga are pushing hard for inclusion. Yoane Wissa is also expected to provide an impact option from the bench.
