Hjulmand eyes pivotal Newcastle win for rejuvenated Leverkusen

Leverkusen aims to secure direct knockout qualification with a home win while Newcastle faces injury challenges including key defenders and goalkeepers, affecting squad depth.

  • On December 10 at the BayArena, Kasper Hjulmand said a home win over Newcastle United would be a big step for Bayer Leverkusen, buoyed by back-to-back away wins, with the match shown on TNT Sports.
  • Despite recent European wins, Bayer Leverkusen's domestic form shows losses in their last two Bundesliga games, including a 2-0 defeat at Augsburg, after last month's wins at Benfica and Manchester City.
  • Newcastle arrive a point above Leverkusen and include 19-year-old Adam Harrison as third-choice goalkeeper due to UEFA List A rules, with Jamaal Lascelles omitted.
  • A win in Germany would give Newcastle United a commanding position ahead of their final two matches next month, as the top eight clubs progress directly to the round of 16 while others enter a play-off round.
  • Leverkusen face Olympiacos then Villarreal next month, and Eddie Howe made six changes against Burnley, refusing to rest key players ahead of successive fixtures.
