Newcastle have been on the wrong end of some cruel defeats this season and they'll be looking to lift morale by getting off the mark in the Champions League away to Union Saint-Gilloise.
The Magpies conceded a last-gasp goal against Arsenal on Sunday, with a tip landing for The Betting Desk in their 2-1 defeat.
It's the third time the Magpies have lost this season while playing well, with Liverpool and Barcelona also breaking their hearts at St James' Park.
Eddie Howe's men have won just two of their eight games in all competitions so they will be desperate for a victory in Belgium.
Union Saint-Gilloise are gracing the Champions League for the first time and got off to an excellent start by beating PSV 3-1 in Eindhoven, with a corners bet landing for Slips Tips.
Since kicking off the new season with a loss to Brugge in the Belgian Super Cup, Union have gone 10 games unbeaten in all competitions.
Eight of those matches have ended in wins so this is a tricky game for Newcastle to negotiate.

Head to head: Union Jack at half mast
These sides have never faced off before but Union Saint-Gilloise don't have a great record against English teams, losing three of their four games against Birmingham and Liverpool. They've also lost four times in five matches against Scottish teams.
Players to watch: Plenty of Promise
Promise David has made a storming start to the season for Union Saint-Gilloise, netting five times in seven games. The Canadian is 6/4 at Bet365 to either score or assist and that looks decent.
Nick Woltemade would have been upset not to start when Newcastle hosted Barcelona. The summer signing should get the nod here after netting against Arsenal and is 6/5 to either score or set one up.
Probable line-ups
Newcastle suffered a blow when Tino Livramento went off on Sunday and he's set to miss out along with Jacob Ramsey, Yoane Wissa and Fabian Schar.
The Belgian champions have a pretty clean bill of health with only forward Mohammed Fuseini out injured.
Union Saint-Gilloise: Scherpen, Mac Allister, Burgess, Leysen, Rasmussen, Zorgane, Niang, Khalaili, Ait El Hadj, David, Rodriguez.
Newcastle United: Pope, Trippier, Burn, Botman, Thiaw, Guimaraes, Tonali, Joelinton, Barnes, Gordon, Woltemade.
Anything else catch the eye?
Newcastle haven't been getting the rewards their play has deserved this season so I'm going to back them for a much-needed win. If you want to boost the odds a bit, adding on over 1.5 goals takes their price to 8/5.
However, Union Saint-Gilloise should pose a threat if they repeat their performance from Eindhoven and combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals could pay off at 21/20 with BoyleSports.
That match between Union and PSV produced 14 corners while Newcastle's opener with Barcelona also hit double figures on that count. So I like over 10.5 corners in this one at 5/4 with BoyleSports.
