Champions League: Newcastle vs Athletic Bilbao 05/11/2025


Betting on Corners
Newcastle welcomes Athletic Bilbao in the Champions League with the goal of asserting their dominance at home, and their playing style clearly supports the prediction of “over 5 corners.”
Eddie Howe’s side applies high pressing, fast flank attacks, and constant crosses into the box, which regularly results in plenty of set-piece situations. The Magpies have averaged around six corners per match recently, while Bilbao often concedes more than six corners when playing away from home.
The English team plays aggressively, especially in the opening stages, so it’s easy to imagine a scenario where Newcastle, driven by the home crowd and their attacking rhythm, reaches more than five corners.
For the braver ones, over 5.5 is also an option, but I took this margin as it seems safer. If Newcastle finish with exactly five corners, the stake is refunded.
