Marseille Form
Newcastle Form
Tuesday night football under the lights at the Stade Vélodrome always feels special, and on 25th November at 20:00 BST, Marseille host Newcastle United in a Champions League clash that already feels huge. So, if you’re trying to work out the best Marseille vs Newcastle prediction, you’re in the right place. Eddie Howe’s side head to France looking comfortable in Europe, while Roberto De Zerbi’s team want to make this home advantage count.
Well, team news matters a lot here, especially with both sides juggling a busy schedule.
Marseille might have to cope without Amine Gouiri, who’s dealing with a back issue. On top of that, Emerson is suspended after a recent red card. That means De Zerbi could be forced into tweaks at the back and up top, where finding rhythm without Gouiri might be tricky.
For Newcastle, there’s a bit more optimism.
Anthony Gordon, who’s been massive in the Champions League this season, should be available after recovering from a hip problem. There’s also a chance Yoane Wissa could make his debut — and that alone adds an interesting dynamic.
Newcastle come into this with serious European momentum:
That attacking consistency gives them confidence heading into a notoriously hostile stadium.
Rulli; Murillo, Pavard, Aguerd, Emerson; Højbjerg, Vermeeren; Greenwood, Gomes, Barbosa da Paixão; Aubameyang.
Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes.
This is the first Champions League meeting between these two clubs. Historically, Marseille have struggled at home in this competition, winning just 3 of their last 12 home matches. Newcastle, meanwhile, have been in strong continental form but haven’t always been convincing on the road.
Still, the feeling around Howe’s squad is positive, especially with their recent European run and the way they’ve been finding goals consistently. Marseille, though, can’t be underestimated at home — the Vélodrome atmosphere can tilt matches all on its own.
Here are the angles that make most sense when you look at the rhythm of both sides:
Both teams score regularly in Europe. Newcastle have found the net in six straight Champions League matches, while Marseille have failed to score just once in their last eight games in the competition. You’d expect at least two goals here.
Newcastle have been clinical in Europe recently, and even though they’ve only had one away win this season in the Champions League, their three-match winning streak gives them a slight edge heading into this tie.
Given the attacking talent on both sides — Gordon, Aubameyang, Greenwood, Murphy — it feels likely both nets bulge at least once.
Here’s what I think: Newcastle come into this with more rhythm, more confidence, and more consistency in both boxes. Marseille still carry threat, especially at home, but their form in this competition has been unpredictable.
So, my Marseille vs Newcastle prediction is a Newcastle win — but a competitive one.
Match Prediction: Newcastle to win. Bet with bet365.
I’d lean toward something tight but lively.
Correct score prediction: Marseille 1–2 Newcastle United
Newcastle’s recent defensive record looks great, but Marseille tend to score at home, and this isn’t the easiest place to park a clean sheet. Still, the Magpies have shown more cutting edge overall.
Correct Score Prediction: Marseille 1–2 Newcastle. Bet with bet365.
Hard to back an Under here with the way Newcastle keep scoring and how Marseille typically play at home.
Over 1.5 goals feels almost nailed-on based on how both teams attack.
If you want something bigger, Over 2.5 also has a strong case.
Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a simple but realistic builder:
Bet Builder Tip: Newcastle double chance, both teams to score, over 2.5 goals. Bet with bet365.
