Newcastle travel to Belgium to face Union Saint-Gilloise in the second matchday of the Champions League league phase tonight.

The Magpies are looking for their first win in Europe this season after falling to a 2-1 loss to Barcelona in their opening match, and Eddie Howe will be targeting a deep run in the competition this season.

Newcastle’s performances have been far more impressive than their league position of 15th suggests, and the Magpies will travel to Brussels as favourites to beat RUSG, who are currently first in the Belgian league and finished as champions last season.

But despite their tags as favourites, Howe will be wary of the threat possessed by the hosts, along with the need to pick up points quickly if his side are to automatically qualify for the knockout stages.
