Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Marseille vs Newcastle

Marseille

Marseille are struggling in the current Champions League main stage, having collected just three points from four matches. Their only success is a victory over Ajax in the second round, leaving Roberto De Zerbi's side outside the playoffs. Marseille urgently need to improve their situation in the coming matches and try to pick up points, otherwise the final matches of the main stage will become a formality for the team. Therefore, the support of their home fans should be a key factor for the hosts in their upcoming home match.

Newcastle

The Magpies lost to Barcelona on their home turf in the first round of the Champions League, but then won three matches in a row and significantly improved their standings, climbing to sixth place in the overall table. While Newcastle is currently underperforming in the English Premier League and is far from challenging for the top spots, the team has delighted fans in European competition with both good play and positive results. If the Magpies continue their progress, they could very well qualify for the Champions League round of 16 following the main stage. Newcastle's top scorer in the 2025/26 Champions League is Anthony Gordon, who has scored four goals and provided one assist.
