Newcastle vs Barcelona picks and predictions
My Newcastle vs Barcelona best bet: Barcelona to win (+120 at Sports Interaction)
Newcastle have only won five of their past 13 games in all competitions, including seven defeats. More worrying is that Eddie Howe’s team hasn’t had a clean sheet in any of their previous 13 games.
Barcelona struggled defensively in the group stage, but Barca scored the second-most goals of any team, averaging 2.75 goals scored per game.
Hansi Flick has worked on his team’s defensive play, and they’ve conceded just one goal in their past three games across all competitions. These teams met in September, with Barcelona winning 2-1 at St James’ Park, having 18 shots and 61% possession.

Since mid-January, Lamine Yamal has added more goals to his game, with 10 goals in 13 games, including four in his past three appearances for Barcelona.
With 10 goals in all competitions, Marcus Rashford is a rotation option for Barca, but he started their last game. Rashford scored twice against Newcastle earlier this season and has seven goals in 16 games against them across his career.
