Newcastle United can secure a place in the next round with a win over Club Brugge in Belgium in Thursday's Europa League encounter.
Gabriel Obertan struck the winner against the Belgian side in the reverse fixture at St James' Park, and Alan Pardew will be keen to seal another victory. Newcastle are on top of Group D with seven points from three games, with Bordeaux second on four points. Brugge and Maritimo are third and fourth respectively.
The manager revealed Shola Ameobi and Sami Ameobi will start the game, and the brothers cannot wait to play together.
"It's great and I'm really looking forward to it," Sami told the club's official website. "It'll be an honor to play alongside Shola. Obviously I've looked up to him for so long and he's been a great player, and I'm glad I'm going to get the opportunity to start with him tomorrow (Thursday).
"I'm really looking forward to it and I know all the family will be round to watch. When I was growing up, he's been the one we all looked up to. He's been my inspiration, he's been my competition and my family have always been there for me through thick and thin. So it'll be amazing to start the game together and hopefully we'll both get on the scoresheet."
"We're both excited for each other and our parents are going to be really happy about it," elder brother Shola added. "Let's hope we can gel well together and help the team.
"At the end of the day, that's the most important thing -- making sure the team really play well. If we can do well in that then that's fantastic.
"But the family will all be watching. They're excited and I never thought I would have the chance to play with my little brother so it's a great occasion for them all and I'm sure they'll be cheering us on."
Alan Pardew has left Demba Ba and Papiss Cisse behind, but the likes of Fabricio Coloccini, Yohan Cabaye and Cheick Tiote have travelled to Belgium.
Shola expects Brugge to give Newcastle another difficult game. "We know how hard we had to work a couple of weeks ago at home against this side," he said. "They're a good side so it's going to be a tough order but every game we've played this season in Europe, we've won or drawn and we want to keep that run going.
"We know it's important to build confidence in this competition. It goes a long way. It's going to be our toughest test, I believe, but there's no reason why we can't go there and get a result. That's the aim -- to get a positive result from the game whether that be a win or a draw, which wouldn't be a bad result for us."
