2023/2024 Champions League: Borussia Dortmund Vs Newcastle, The Moment The Host Repeated Victory

JAKARTA - Borussia Dortmund will host Newcastle in the fourth match of Group F of the 2023/2024 Champions League. This match will be used by the host to repeat the success of the previous away match.

Dortmund will host Newcastle at Signal Iduna Park Stadium on Wednesday, November 8 at 00.45 WIB. The mission to maintain the lead over Newcastle seems a little shaky as Dortmund's last record is not good.

Edin Terzic's team just got injured because last weekend an unbeaten record for eight games (Win 6, Series 2) stopped. The record was broken after Dortmund lost 4-0 at home to Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

Even though Dortmund's domestic record was tarnished, they still had the capital to face Newcastle. Because when they visited St James Park Stadium, Die Borussen won 1-0 through Felix Nmecha's goal which made Newcastle receive their first defeat from the German team.

However, Dortmund should not be happy with the capital they have. Because Newcastle's record in the domestic league is also quite convincing.

The Magpies have just successfully ended Arsenal's unbeaten record this season. During a meeting in the Premier League week, Newcastle managed to take the lead because of Anthony Gordon's goal which led them to a 1-0 win at St James' Park.

On the other hand, Newcastle also had promising performances both at home and away, this England team only lost three of their last 17 European matches.

One gap that Dortmund can take advantage of this time is through the condition of the Newcastle squad who was hit by a storm of injuries. It seems that Jacob Murphy, who could be a mainstay, will not be played because his shoulder injury relapses when he enters as a substitute in the match against Arsenal.

While Dan Burn had a problem on his back after falling hard and had to be replaced in the first half. Elliot Anderson (chaotic), Matt Targett (hamstring), Harvey Barnes (leg), Alexander Isak (peelhead),tank Botman (lutut), and Javi Manqullo (pinggul) are also under the care of Newcastle's busy medical team.

That moment Edin Terzic, Dortmund's coach, realized that from the start their steps would not be easy. But he believes there are many opportunities open to continuing the fight on a good track.

"When we saw the draw, we knew it would be a difficult fight to the end. Everything is still open and now it's up to us to be able or not trying to continue like this (there is a winning path)," Terzic said.
