The results Newcastle need to qualify from Group F after Milan beat PSG & Dortmund defeat

After last night’s results, the bookies now believe Newcastle (5/2) to be the team least likely to advance from Group F into the Champions League knockout stages.

We were beaten 2-0 by Dortmund, but AC Milan’s 2-1 victory over PSG at the San Siro opened up the group to further attack. Milan’s performance puts PSG back in jeopardy and increases our chances of qualifying, even though it may lessen our chances of finishing in third place and earning us a spot in the Europa League.

 . If we beat PSG (A) and AC Milan (H) we will qualify.

 

• If we beat PSG and draw with Milan (taking us to eight points) we’d need Dortmund to avoid defeat in their remaining two games.
• If we drew at PSG and beat Milan, the Italians could not finish above us (securing at least Europa League football), but Dortmund would only need a point to finish above Newcastle, while PSG would need to beat Dortmund in their final game to finish above us and qualify.

 

 

Here’s Sky Bet’s latest odds on qualification for the last 16 from Group  F, followed by the remaining fixtures for all four teams and the latest standings:

 

1. 1. PSG – 1/3 (1.33)
   2. B Dortmund – 4/9 (1.44)
   3. AC Milan – 6/4 (2.50)

 

4. Newcastle – 5/2 (3.50)
