How to watch Newcastle vs Benfica online for FREE

With Bruno Guimaraes and Richard Rios stalking the midfield and Jose Mourinho searching the touchlines, we expect Newcastle’s clash with Benfica to be nothing short of full-blooded. The self-proclaimed Special One took the Eagles reins a month ago, but with any noticeable impact yet to be felt, this is his opportunity to make his mark.

Although it is early doors, Mourinho’s W3 D2 L1 record is not a step up from his predecessor Bruno Lages (W7 D2 L1) and for all the showbiz that came with it, his Chelsea reunion ended in defeat. Mourinho needs a statement result to get his Benfica effort going, so where better to secure it than at St James’ Park, where he has overseen five defeats, four draws and just three wins? The last of these ties came against a team managed by Steve Bruce.
