St. James’ Park plays host to a UEFA Champions League<\/a> clash as Newcastle United host PSV on Wednesday, 21 January at 20:00.

PSV have been involved in open, attacking contests throughout their Champions League campaign, with both teams finding the net in all six of their matches so far. Their attacking quality was on full display in a commanding 6\u20132 home victory over Napoli, followed by an emphatic 4\u20131 triumph away at Anfield against Liverpool. Newcastle are usually formidable at St James\u2019 Park, but they cannot underestimate the threat posed by PSV, particularly as the Dutch side have won 11 of their last 12 games in all competitions.Even so, the hosts possess plenty of firepower themselves, which points towards an entertaining and goal-filled Champions League encounter. Eddie Howe\u2019s side have scored at least twice in 13 of their last 14 home matches, although defensive solidity has been harder to come by, with just one clean sheet recorded in their last nine outings on home turf.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

Sven Botman to score<\/strong><\/td>\n10\/1 @ BOYLESports<\/a>
(9.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\n\n

PSV have been very vulnerable from set pieces in the Champions League, conceding more shots and expected goals from dead-ball situations than any other side. They are facing over six shots and 0.80 xG per game from set pieces, which is a concern against a Newcastle team that carries real threat in these moments. Because of that, bigger-priced scorers are worth considering. Sven Botman to score anytime at 10\/1 stands out, with the defender having a shot in all three of his home Champions League appearances. PSV have also allowed centre-backs plenty of chances and have already conceded goals to defenders in this competition.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
