Newcastle United play the first of two pre-season friendlies this weekend. On Saturday, they are home to Bayer Leverkusen who are in good scoring form at present. Hence our prediction here of more than 2.5 goals.
It's all-change for the Magpies with the arrival of new coach Matthias Jaissle (who has no Premier League experience) and the departure of key players such as Gordon, Tonali and Guimaraes. There have been new signings made and United will be wanting to improve on their 12th place in the Premier League.
That means no European football this season, a step back from being in the Champions League last term.
Their most recent pre-season friendly saw them lose to Everton 3-1. Before that, they had beaten Darlington (behind closed doors), drew with Gateshead, lost 4-1 at Bristol City and then had a 2-1 away win against Valencia.
Bayer Leverkusen just missed out on Champions League qualification last season. They finished sixth in the German Bundesliga and will be playing in the Europa League this season. They have enjoyed good form with five wins before losing 2-1 against Nottingham Forest.
Their first four pre-season friendlies saw them score 17 goals and they have only lost two of their last nine fixtures.
