Welcome to our Newcastle vs Ath Bilbao prediction, where we break down everything you need to know ahead of this UEFA Champions League encounter at St. James’ Park on November 5, 2025. Whether you’re here for sports betting tips, the latest betting odds, or just want to know who’s likely to come out on top, you’re in the right place. Let’s dive into the head to head stats, recent form, and our expert view on what to expect from this intriguing match-up.
Newcastle United, or simply Newcastle as most fans call them, have been a bit of a mixed bag lately. In their last six Premier League matches, the Magpies have chalked up three wins, one draw, and two defeats. That’s seven goals scored and five conceded, which puts them ninth in the Premier League form table. Across all competitions, though, things look brighter: five wins in their last six, including a tidy 2-0 win over Tottenham in the Carabao Cup. But it’s not all sunshine—just ask anyone who watched their 3-1 loss to West Ham on November 2.
Athletic Bilbao, or Ath Bilbao for short, have had their own ups and downs in La Liga. With four wins, two draws, and five losses, they’re also sitting ninth in their league. Their recent form isn’t exactly confidence-inspiring: a 1-0 defeat to Getafe and a loss to Real Sociedad have left fans wanting more. Despite a solid Champions League display against Qarabag, consistency has been a problem—just nine goals in ten La Liga matches tells its own story.
On the tactical front, Newcastle’s high-energy pressing and attacking full-backs have been key, but injuries are starting to bite. Big summer signing Yoane Wissa is still sidelined with a knee issue, and Tino Livramento is out for up to eight weeks. The Magpies’ squad depth will be tested, but with new faces like Nick Woltemade, Anthony Elanga, and Aaron Ramsdale, there’s still plenty of quality on the pitch.
Ath Bilbao, meanwhile, are known for their disciplined, hard-working approach, but with only two wins in their last five across all competitions, they’ll need to find some extra spark if they want to trouble Newcastle at home.
Let’s talk numbers—because that’s what sports betting fans really want. The current betting odds put Newcastle as strong favorites at 1.55 for a home win, while a draw is priced at 4.2, and an away win for Ath Bilbao is a long shot at 6.25. The market clearly expects the Magpies to make the most of their home advantage.
Digging deeper into the stats, Newcastle are forecast to dominate possession (64% vs 36%), rack up 15 shots (with 6 on target), and win six corners. Ath Bilbao, on the other hand, are expected to muster just 7 shots and a single corner. The home side’s squad value of €751.83m dwarfs Ath Bilbao’s €369.70m, which says a lot about the resources at Eddie Howe’s disposal.
For those who like to bet on cards and corners, here’s a quirky stat: Newcastle are expected to finish with zero yellow cards, while Ath Bilbao might pick up just one. Not exactly a feisty affair, if the predictions hold true!
To sum up, our Newcastle vs Ath Bilbao prediction points to a comfortable night for the Magpies, with plenty of action for fans and punters alike. Whether you’re backing the favorites or hoping for an upset, this match promises entertainment—and hopefully, a winning bet or two!
