Newcastle United will be hoping there's no European hangover when they return to Premier League action with a visit from Fulham.
St James' Park was rocking on Tuesday night as Eddie Howe's men claimed a thrilling 3-0 Champions League win over Benfica.
It was a good night for me as all three recommended bets landed and the Magpies will now be looking to spark their domestic campaign into life.
A disappointing 2-1 loss to Brighton last weekend saw Newcastle drop down to 14th, having won just two of their eight Premier League games.
Howe will be desperate to climb the table but Fulham also badly need a win after three successive defeats.
Marco Silva's side started the season well but they are now in the midst of a slump and have lost 3-1 in their last two Premier League road trips.
How the bookies view it: Magpies to soar at St James
Newcastle are usually strong at home and BoyleSports make them 8/13 favourites for this one. Fulham are 9/2 outsiders and the draw pays 14/5.
Recent head to head: Fulham eye a hat-trick
Fulham did a Premier League double over Newcastle last season, with a 3-1 victory in London followed by a 2-1 triumph at St James' Park. But the Magpies had dominated this fixture before that, winning six games in a row.
Players to watch: Woltemade to measure
Nick Woltemade has made the Newcastle fans forget about Alexander Isak and his classy backheel finish last weekend was his fifth goal since moving from Stuttgart. He's 7/5 at BoyleSports for another strike here and 6/1 with Bet365 for an assist.
Alex Iwobi chipped in with nine goals last term for Fulham but only has one to his name in the new campaign. The midfielder could be due a goal and he's 5/1 at BoyleSports for anytime scorer.
Probable line-ups
Howe will probably freshen things up for Newcastle after such a draining game in midweek. Harvey Barnes will be hoping to start after his double off the bench against Benfica.
Fulham will be hoping striker Raul Jimenez can shake off a knock while Rodrigo Muniz, Anthonee Robinson, Saka Lukic, Joachim Andersen and Tom Cairney could miss out.
Newcastle United: Pope, Trippier, Schar, Botman, Burn, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Barnes, Gordon, Woltemade.
Fulham: Leno, Castagne, Bassey, Diop, Tete, Berge, King, Smith-Rowe, Wilson, Iwobi, Jimenez.
Anything else catch the eye?
Fulham failed to get a shot on target against Arsenal last weekend but have generally carried a threat, scoring in eight of their 10 games this season.
So BTTS could stand a decent chance here at 5/6 with BoyleSports, while adding on over 2.5 goals boosts the odds to 11/8.
We've seen double figures for corners in five of Newcastle's last six games so over 10 flag kicks looks decent value here at 10/11 with Bet365.
Sander Berge should provide the muscle for Fulham in midfield and I like the evens on offer at Bet365 for the Norwegian to commit over 1.5 fouls.
