How to watch Newcastle vs Benfica for FREE online

With Bruno Guimaraes and Richard Ríos stalking the midfield and José Mourinho prowling the touchline, we expect Newcastle’s clash against Benfica to be nothing short of intense. The self-proclaimed Special took the reins of the Eagles a month ago, but with no discernible impact yet to be felt, this is his chance to make a mark.

While it’s early days, Mourinho’s record of three wins, two draws and one loss is no step up from that of his predecessor Bruno Lage (seven wins, two draws and one loss), and despite all the showbiz that came with it, his meeting with Chelsea ended in defeat. Mourinho needs a decisive result to kick-start his time at Benfica, so what better place to secure it than at St James’ Park, where he has recorded five defeats, four draws and just three wins? The last of those ties came against a team coached by Steve Bruce.
