Barcelona vs Newcastle United Preview and Team News
Barcelona Team News
Barcelona are unbeaten in the last five matches, the latest of which was a thumping 5-2 win over Sevilla at home.
Raphinha heads into the Newcastle clash in outstanding form after scoring a hat-trick and recording an xGOT of 2.58. His passing accuracy of 82% and perfect success rate on long balls also left people impressed.

Dani Olmo also caught the eye, completing 100% of his dribbles. While the first leg of this fixture ended in a draw, the Blaugrana are now at home and brimming with confidence.
However, they are dealing with a lengthy injury list, which includes Toni Fernandez, Alejandro Balde, Andreas Christensen, Jofre Torrents, Jules Kounde, and Frenkie de Jong.
Barcelona predicted lineup vs Newcastle United (4-2-3-1): J. Garcia; Cancelo, Martin, Cubarsi, Araujo; Pedri, Bernal; Raphinha, Olmo, Yamal; Lewandowski.
Newcastle United Team News
Newcastle United have been inconsistent of late. The draw with Barcelona in the first leg only spurred them to beat Chelsea 1-0 away from home in the Premier League. Otherwise, they’ve won just two of their last five matches, alongside one draw and two losses.
Against Chelsea, the Magpies adopted a counterattacking approach, staying compact in their own half before driving forth once possession turned over. This was reflected in their 33% possession. However, they made the most of whenever they had the ball, taking five shots on target.
Emil Krafth, Fabian Schar, Bruno Guimaraes, and Lewis Miley continue to be sidelined with injuries.
Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; Hall, Botman, Thiaw, Livramento; Ramsey, Tonali; Barnes, Woltemade, Murphy; Gordon.
Barcelona vs Newcastle United Prediction
- Pick: Barcelona to win
- Odds: -175 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Barcelona 3-1 Newcastle United
Barcelona’s stronger form points toward a home win. Newcastle have been inconsistent in recent weeks and have struggled to maintain any real momentum. The Blaugrana are also unbeaten in the last two recorded meetings between these sides.
Fermin Lopez and Marcus Rashford (combined 16 goal contributions in the UCL) should both come off the bench to help Barça out in the second half. Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal (49 combined goal contributions across all competitions) are expected to start. Overall, the Blaugrana’s attacking quality is far superior to that of Newcastle.
Barcelona vs Newcastle United Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Robert Lewandowski to score
- Odds: -102 (20Bet)
We expect Lewandowski to score. One of the most experienced strikers in the world, he has already made 15 goal contributions across all competitions this season, including two goals in the UCL.
Since moving to Catalonia in 2022, Lewandowski has cemented his status as a Barcelona legend, scoring 103 goals already for the club. He’s also netted 88 goals internationally for Poland. Lewandowski is known for his poaching, timing, and shooting abilities.
