PSG vs Newcastle Preview
Rejuvenated PSG
It could be a short European return for Newcastle unless they can get a result here against PSG. The Magpies, under the guidance of Eddie Howe, dealt a stunning blow to the French giants last month at St James’ Park, cruising to a convincing 4-1 victory that for a brief few weeks, put them top of the most competitive group.
However, the narrative takes a different turn in the City of Lights. PSG, led by Luis Enrique, have been on a rampant run since that humbling defeat, notching seven consecutive victories in Ligue 1, showcasing an impressive scoring spree with three or more goals in each encounter. The Parc des Princes faithful can expect a reinvigorated and hungry Parisian side. Without the distractions of celebrity players, they look a much better and more balanced side.
Crucially, the French powerhouse boasts an imposing record on home turf, having dismissed the challenges posed by Borussia Dortmund and AC Milan in their previous Champions League fixtures. Their fortress in Paris has witnessed them lose just one of their last 35 group-stage games, accumulating maximum points from an impressive 28 outings.
A Last Hurrah for the Magpies?
In contrast, Newcastle’s recent European journey has been less smooth. While their draw at the San Siro and a resounding victory over Chelsea in the league showcased their resilience, a subsequent defeat to Dortmund in Germany exposed vulnerabilities. Moreover, injuries have plagued the Magpies, with a notable list of absentees challenging their depth and resolve.
Newcastle’s escape from the San Siro with a point seems like a distant memory as they now face the daunting prospect of navigating the Parc des Princes—a venue where PSG has historically been a dominant force. However, they are a side ravaged by injuries and this could well be a defining factor in this one.
As the stakes escalate in Group F, this clash is not just a test of footballing prowess but a battle for survival in the prestigious Champions League. Will PSG exact revenge and cement their authority, or can Newcastle defy the odds once again and make a real statement for this side, growing with confidence and capacity for success.

PSG vs Newcastle Betting Tips
Bet Builder: PSG to win, both teams to score and Kylian Mbappe to score anytime @ 3.60
PSG have been on a rocking run of form and they have also been brilliant at home. Although Newcastle have also been on a run and will likely strike their own blow, Mbappe and PSG will have too much for the Toon.
Bet Builder: PSG to win, over 1.5 goals and 8.5 corners @ 2.63
With two keepers who are great shot-stoppers, there could well be a lot of corners in this one. Both sides have potent attacks and PSG’s home form has been incredible up to this point.
Under 2 goals @ 3.58
The away side, Newcastle, have been one of the best defensive teams in Europe. Could we see them once again keep out one of the best attacks on the continent?
