PSG Form
Newcastle Form
Wednesday night, January 28th, at the Parc des Princes, with kick-off at 8pm. This PSG vs Newcastle prediction dives into team news, likely lineups, and how these two match up when it matters most, along with our best betting angles.
Let’s start with PSG. Luis Enrique is running the show in Paris, and you can see his fingerprints all over this side. He’s a serial winner and will want control of the ball at all times. PSG are back on top in Ligue 1, which only adds to their confidence heading into this fixture.
In terms of availability, it’s not perfect. Goalkeeper Matvey Safonov is dealing with a hand issue, while Fabian Ruiz has a knee problem. Lee Kang-in is a doubt with a thigh issue, and Joao Neves is struggling with a muscle knock. Achraf Hakimi, fresh back from international duty, could be a late call.
There is good news too. Lucas Hernandez is back from suspension. He brings calm and bite at the back. Up top, Khvicha Kvaratskhelia looks sharp and remains a constant threat. He’s also one to watch from set-pieces drifting in from the left, while Ousmane Dembele is usually first choice for direct free-kicks when he’s on the pitch. Penalty duties typically go to Kvaratskhelia if he’s starting.
Newcastle’s man in charge, Eddie Howe, still only in his late forties, has done something special here. He’s turned Newcastle into a proper European side while juggling Premier League demands every weekend.
Injuries are a concern. Jamaal Lascelles is out, Tino Livramento and Jacob Murphy are struggling with hamstrings, and there are question marks over Fabian Schar and Bruno Guimaraes. That said, Joelinton is expected to start despite a minor knock. Tonali runs the midfield, and Harvey Barnes brings that direct threat from wide areas.
When it comes to dead balls, Kieran Trippier remains Newcastle’s main man for free-kicks and corners. Penalties usually fall to Anthony Gordon or Wissa depending on who’s on the pitch.
Paris Saint-Germain:
Chevalier; Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, Hernandez; Mayulu, Vitinha, Mbaye; Doue, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia
Newcastle United:
Pope; Trippier, Burn, Botman, Hall; Miley, Tonali, Joelinton; Barnes, Wissa, Gordon
This is where it gets interesting. PSG at home tend to lean into chaos a bit. They push numbers forward. They invite transitions. The big question is control. Can Newcastle slow the game down when PSG start flying? Or will PSG’s pace and movement eventually pull them apart?
Goals feel likely without turning this into a shootout. Rather than getting carried away, the smarter angle leans toward goals at both ends. Neither team is built to sit in a low block for 90 minutes. Mistakes happen when tempo stays high. This fixture would fit perfectly into our BTTS tips.
If you’re asking who handles the moment better, it probably edges PSG. They’ve lived this night so many times. Newcastle are still learning at this level, even though they’ve been impressive. Expect a close game, but PSG to find a way late on.
Match Prediction: PSG to win. Bet with bet365.
A narrow home win makes the most sense. Something like 2-1 feels right. Enough drama, enough quality, and just enough control from PSG when it matters.
Correct Score Prediction: PSG 2-1 Newcastle. Bet with bet365.
This doesn’t scream goal fest, but it also doesn’t feel cagey. The middle ground works here. Two or three goals total fits how both teams approach big Champions League nights.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 3.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
If you like combining angles, look at a PSG to win with goals at both ends. Add Ousmane Dembele to to score for a well-rounded bet builder. It matches the flow and expectation for how this match will play out.
Bet Builder Tip: PSG to win, both teams to score, and Ousmane Dembele to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
