Newcastle United vs Benfica match prediction 21 October 2025

Newcastle may be slightly overrated, as the Magpies have had a poor start to the season and sit in the lower part of the Premier League table. Benfica, on the other hand, urgently need points. While a loss to Chelsea in London was expected, their home defeat to Qarabag was a real shock.

We expect the upcoming match to be tight and not very high-scoring, but both teams should manage to find the net. As for the result, a draw wouldn’t come as a surprise.
