After shocking PSV away from home, the Belgian champions now host <strong>Premier League side Newcastle United<\/strong> in a high-stakes clash at Anderlecht\u2019s Lotto Park.

Their <strong>3-1 victory at PSV<\/strong> was one of the standout results of matchday one, and they followed it up with a <strong>2-0 Jupiler Pro League win over Westerlo<\/strong>, extending their winning run to five matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key highlights for Union SG:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Top of the Jupiler Pro League<\/strong> (W7, D2).<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Unbeaten in last 7 European home ties<\/strong> (W4, D3), despite being forced to play at a neutral ground.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Strong first-half resilience<\/strong>: They have not conceded before half-time in their last nine games.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Star striker <strong>Promise David<\/strong> is in lethal form, scoring first in three consecutive matches, making him the man Newcastle defenders must keep quiet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Newcastle United: Searching for Spark<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Newcastle\u2019s return to the Champions League has been bumpy. A narrow <strong>2-1 defeat to Barcelona<\/strong> on matchday one showed their potential but also their fragility. Since then, results have been underwhelming, with only a <strong>cup win over Bradford City<\/strong> to show.
