Dortmund is leading by a goal as the first half just ended, after several attempts they finally got a goal, Newcastle has shown so much resilience in this game as they in their last five games won four and drew on same with Dortmund as well they not share stats in their recent five games. Dortmund dominated with more goal attempts .
Newcastle has a major part of the ball possession and this first half was really not an easy one as both team have uncommon matching strength going by their style of play so far. I'm hopeful Newcastle may get a goal and end up sharing point with Dortmund but then it's very possible they exploit their home advantage enough to get a win, but then Dortmund may most likely step up their performance I'm the second half to hopefully secure a win
I didn't expect that it was Dortmund who was superior in this heated match and maybe if Dortmund could maintain their advantage they could win. The additional 3 points are very important for Dortmund because at least they can breathe a sigh of relief in 2nd position and it also means that Newcastle will have to be eliminated from the previous top position if they lose. There are still 30 minutes left in the match and anything can still happen, from Newcastle equalizing or turning things around. Of course, this is something Dortmund doesn't want to experience and what is certain is that Dortmund must increase their advantage if they want to ensure their victory.
If Dortmund should win Newcastle,I will really be surprised because I know how good Newcastle are,and for Dortmund to win them shows that they are a big threat in this Champions league.Newcastle defeated PSG who we thought had advantage,but they got a big win their to show you how good they are.
This group is one of the toughest groups in the champions league groups,they all want to get the points and qualify for the next round which is very impossible because almost all the teams in this group are very good.
But I think Newcastle will qualify from that group despite the odds that they won't qualify,I tip them to qualify.
