Newcastle vs Barcelona Tips - Newcastle to get a point on return to Champions League
Newcastle and Barcelona enter this match with contrasting forms—Newcastle steady at the back but struggling in attack, while Barcelona are prolific in front of goal but leaky on the road. Newcastle recently ended their winless run, while Barca remain tough to beat but have dropped points away. A competitive contest is expected, with a score draw the best value prediction and both teams likely to find the net. BTTS and a 1-1 correct score are favored options for bettors.
- Newcastle solid in defense but inconsistent in attack.
- Barcelona strong offensively but struggle defensively away.
- Prediction: Score draw likely; both teams to score (BTTS).
Newcastle vs Barcelona Predictions
Newcastle have been reasonably solid this season and have not conceded in three of their last four games. That said, Barcelona are very attacking but leave spaces at the back. A score draw is my best bet.
- Newcastle have drawn 4 of their last 7 matches (including pre-season).
- Newcastle have scored 17 goals in their last 7 home matches.
- Barcelona are winless in their last 2 away matches (UCL).
- Barcelona are unbeaten in 17 of their last 18 matches.
- Barcelona have seen BTTS in their last 2 away matches.
Head to Head
Barcelona have a 3-1 advantage against Newcastle in 4 matches.
Newcastle Form
Newcastle are having a rough start to the new Premier League season, securing just five points in four games.
After the initial goalless draw against Aston Villa in Birmingham, they were beaten by Liverpool 3-2 in front of the home crowd, conceding third goal deep in stoppage time.
After another goalless draw against Leeds in third round, The Magpies ended the winless run last weekend by defeating Wolves 1-0 at St James’ Park, Nick Woltemade being the sole scorer, finding his first goal since moving from Stuttgart.
Barcelona Form
Barcelona started this season with back to back victories against Mallorca 3-0 and Levante 3-2, both on the road, Ferran Torres scoring twice in these encounters, while Lamine Yamal added one goal and two assists.
In their third consecutive La Liga game on the road, Hansi Flick’s side had to settle for a 1-1 draw against Rayo Vallecano, Yamal being their sole scorer.
They returned to winning ways last weekend at home, demolishing Valencia 6-0, Fermin Lopez, Raphinha and Robert Lewandowski scoring two goals each.
Verdict
Barcelona are tagged warm favorites, but couldn’t keep their net intact in last two road games. Newcastle’s spirits are high after ending their winless run last weekend, so I am predicting these two sides to share the spoils in a scoring draw.
