Newcastle vs Athletic Club Prediction (05.11.2025)

After a series of strong home performances, Newcastle once again looks like a team that is hard to stop at "St. James' Park." The team has gained confidence with four consecutive home wins, demonstrating an excellent balance between solid defense and aggressive attack during this period. The English side not only manages to maintain a high tempo throughout the match, but often decides the contests before halftime.

For Athletic, the situation is different – the team comes off two consecutive losses in La Liga and is finding it increasingly difficult to gain confidence away from home. Away games are a serious problem for the Basques, who concede goals too easily and often fall apart after an early deficit. Their recent visits show a lack of organization in pressing and difficulties in moving the ball, which could be decisive against Newcastle's intense style.

The difference in form and confidence is obvious. Newcastle feels comfortable on their home ground, and the energy with which they start matches often puts their opponents under serious pressure. Given that Bilbao is struggling away from "San Mamés," the hosts look ready for another convincing victory. I expect a controlled performance and three points for Newcastle, likely with an advantage even by halftime.
