Every team still has a chance to secure a ticket to the round of 16. But I think Milan will not participate in this competition. They are fully focused on Serie A at the moment. Their main target is the Serie A title this season. Despite poor performances in the Champions League, the team has continued to perform well in Serie A.

Predictions about Dortmund and Newcastle are difficult. The Dortmund team is strong. However, their performance is quite erratic. I am sure PSG will secure the round of 16 from the top of the table. Now, although the Newcastle team can perform well enough, this team is not very experienced in the Champions League. Whether they will be able to do well in the upcoming matches of the Champions League cannot be said for sure. So Dortmund team seems more likely to finish second in the table.

Dortmund, PSG and Milan are teams that have experience in the Champions League compared to Newcastle. Their mentality is good even though they always have difficulty qualifying for the final, but I really think that Newcastle are the underdogs in this group.

If the points obtained are a reference for analyzing who will qualify, then Milan will certainly lose to the other 3 teams. But if experience is the benchmark, then Milan has a good chance of coming back and winning several of the next 3 matches. Milan is not completely focused on Serie A because basically they also want to reach the highest point in the Champions League. I don't agree with that assumption because they are still in the group stage. The opportunity is there, it just depends on how they take advantage of it.

Absolutely right, and we agree, if our reference is experience in this competition as you said. a more experienced team should have great potential. However, experience will not provide any guarantee, if in question one of the teams plays a bad performance.

Talking about Milan, I won't say much about this team. In fact, they have experienced 3 defeats when playing their matches in the Group F phase. However, the only away match they have is against Newcastle. the rest, they will play as the home team. If I may say from my point of view, Stefano Pioli's system style and tactics are outdated. btw, just based on personal opinion.

On the other hand, if we talk about Dortmund, they will play their match at the Signal Iduna Pack when they host Newcastle later. a tough match for the away team, considering that they lost at their own base when they hosted Dortmund. Ahead of this match, Newcastle has two tough matches in the domestic league, namely visiting United and hosting Asenal.
Likewise with Dortmund, they will first host Bayern Munich.
For PSG, their chances of qualifying for this group phase seem quite wide open. and if I may assume, Dortmund will accompany Paris Saint-Germain to the next round. But, whatever it is, this is just based on personal assumptions.
