Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Newcastle vs Barcelona

Newcastle

The Magpies finished the last season of the English Premier League in the top 5 of the standings and earned the right to play in the main stage of the Champions League. For Newcastle, participation in the main European Cup tournament is always a big event and Eddie Howe's charges are definitely not going to just sit there and do their best to reach the playoffs. In the last days of the summer transfer window, the club signed two star forwards: Yoan Wyss from Brentford and Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart, who should definitely help the Magpies strengthen their squad and their attacking potential.

Barcelona

The Catalans, however, have consistently performed in the main round of the Champions League, and this season is no exception. Last campaign, Hans-Dieter Flick's team performed successfully in the domestic arena and won the La Liga title, but failed to achieve success in the European Cup. The Champions League is traditionally considered a very important tournament for Barcelona, in which the Catalans will play with their strongest lineup and will try to secure a direct entry into the 1/8 finals as early as possible. Although the first away match against a representative of the Premier League should be a difficult test for the guests.

Game Totals Prediction

A very interesting match in the first round of the main stage of the Champions League, in which the favorite will have to really try hard to take all three points. Newcastle at their home stadium with local fans is capable of putting up serious resistance and on a good evening may well claim all three points in a confrontation with a more famous opponent. Barcelona will try to play first number in the upcoming match, but both the hosts and the guests will have scoring chances. A working choice seems to be a bet on Total Over (3) for 1.73.
