Currently riding a four-game home winning streak, Newcastle aims to extend this success against Athletic Club, who face significant challenges ahead of the match.

Borussia Dortmund vs. Manchester City

Manchester City, under Pep Guardiola, has been equally prolific, scoring at least two goals in every Champions League match so far. Expect this game to showcase plenty of offense.

FC Barcelona vs. Club Brugge

Despite being shorthanded, FC Barcelona remains favorites to overcome Club Brugge. They will likely miss key players Robert Lewandowski, Lamine Yamal, and Raphinha. However, Marcus Rashford has been instrumental, scoring three goals in recent games. Barcelona will rely on his form to secure an important victory.
