Wednesday’s Champions League slate sees every team in action, but few matches carry higher stakes than PSG vs. Newcastle. With both sides level on points, this is a true win-and-in scenario, as the winner secures a spot in the knockout playoff round.
That razor-thin margin is reflected in our PSG vs. Newcastle predictions. We expect PSG to do enough at home, but Newcastle’s attack should keep this from being comfortable, making a PSG win with both teams scoring the most logical angle.
Read on for my free betting picks for Wednesday, January 28, with kickoff set for 3:00 p.m. ET on Paramount+.
PSG vs Newcastle picks and predictions
My PSG vs Newcastle best bet: PSG to win + both teams to score (+280 at Sports Interaction)
PSG and Newcastle enter Wednesday sitting sixth and seventh in the Champions League table, with the top eight advancing directly to the knockout stage. From sixth down to 13th, eight teams are level on 13 points, meaning this match is effectively win-and-in. The winner secures a playoff spot, while the loser likely drops into the qualification round and adds unnecessary risk.
That urgency favors PSG. Despite winning only four of seven matches, the Parisians are tied for the most goals in the competition and remain relentless going forward. With multiple elite attacking options and home-field advantage, they should have enough to take all three points. Newcastle’s poor road form only strengthens that case.
Goals should come at both ends. Newcastle have scored in every Champions League match this season, while PSG’s defense has been far from airtight. A PSG win with both teams scoring fits the game state perfectly.

PSG to win + both teams to score
Bradley Barcola to score
Harvey Barnes 1+ shots on target
Barcola has started the team’s previous two games and scored the winner against Auxerre at the weekend. He’s the team’s highest scorer in Ligue 1 but has looked good in Europe, getting 1.02 shots on target per 90 minutes played. Expect him to be the difference maker here.
Barnes has been excellent for Newcastle this season and keeps getting into dangerous positions. In the Champions League, he’s had a very impressive 2.38 shots on target per 90 minutes on the field.
