PSG and Newcastle in a battle for Europe’s top table
Paris Saint-Germain and Newcastle enter this clash level on 13 points in 6th and 7th place respectively. This is a pivotal game for both sides and one Newcastle will be looking to repeat the shock of their Parisian performance two years ago, when the Magpies drew 1-1 in Paris two years ago. That 1-1 draw is one of two recent H2H meetings Newcastle have won or drawn, giving the Magpies some psychological edge going into Wednesday’s battle.
Luis Enrique’s PSG have been a very different prospect since he took the reins in July 2023, as they play a patient, possession-based 4-3-3 which transforms into a 3-2-5 in possession, with inverted full-backs, a rotating midfield and central overloads to control tempo and create chances. In the final third, PSG have hit their stride recently with Ousmane Dembélé scoring 4 of their last 10 goals in his last 5 games, Vitinha scoring 4 Champions League goals this season.
Newcastle, meanwhile, are a much more compact 4-3-3 team with much more emphasis on quick transitions. Eddie Howe’s side are a high-intensity team, focusing on explosive vertical attacks and wing overloads, only pressing high when necessary. Anthony Gordon is Newcastle’s top scorer in Europe with 6 goals in 7 games and they’ll look to him to lead the charge in this tough clash.
Plenty of goals expected in Paris
PSG are 27/50 favourites to win here, while Newcastle are 21/5 to upset the odds again. The visitors’ superior recent H2H record has us leaning towards the underdogs, but PSG are on a good run of form and have been excellent at home this Champions League season, scoring 10 goals in just 3 games. With the Over 2.5 goals market at 1/2, we’re tipping a few goals here with PSG edging out Newcastle.
PSG’s patient, possession-based style is going to be a tough test for Newcastle and this will be a chess match in midfield. With a fluid attacking set-up and plenty of width, PSG can do serious damage to the away side’s back line and with Newcastle shipping an average of 1.33 goals per game on the road, PSG should edge this one in a high-scoring clash.
