Newcastle United vs Barcelona Preview and Team News

Newcastle United Team News

Newcastle United are not going through their best form. They have won just two of their last five matches, the latest of which was a 1-3 loss to Manchester City in the FA Cup on Saturday. Newcastle were thoroughly outplayed by their opponents and kept only 37% of possession. 

They took 11 shots, and also ended the evening with an xG coefficient of 1.10, but a passing accuracy of 73% let them down. 

The Magpies also won just 48% of all aerial duels they entered into, with centre-back Sven Botman winning none of the ground duels he was challenged into by his opposite number. 

Midfielder Bruno Guimaraes has been ruled out with a muscle injury till next month at least. Lewis Miley, Fabian Schar and Emil Krafth have also been sidelined.

Newcastle United predicted lineup vs Barcelona (4-2-3-1): Ramsdale; Hall, Botman, Thiaw, Trippier; Willock, Tonali; Barnes, Woltemade, Elanga; Osula.

Barcelona Team News

Barcelona come here on the back of four consecutive victories. The year 2026 has started on a bright note for them, keeping a total of 8 clean sheets across all competitions. A passing accuracy of 89% underlined their stellar 1-0 win over Athletic Club Bilbao in La Liga on Sunday. 

However, they created just one big chance all evening, and this might cause them some discomfort before meeting Newcastle. Interestingly, Barca have conceded no headed goal this season – the only club in Europe’s top five leagues to do so. 

For Barca, the injury list is long. Alejandro Balde, Jules Kounde, Toni Fernandez, Frenkie De Jong, Jofre Torrents, Andreas Christensen and Gavi have all been ruled out with various ailments.

Barcelona predicted lineup vs Newcastle United (4-2-3-1): J. Garcia; Cancelo, Martin, Cubarsi, E. Garcia; Pedri, Bernal; Rashford, Lopez, Yamal; Lewandowski.

Newcastle United vs Barcelona Prediction

  • Pick: Barcelona to win or draw
  • Odds: -256 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Newcastle United 1-2 Barcelona

Barcelona have the advantage in this match. They have a much stronger attacking unit than their hosts, with the likes of Robert Lewandowski and Lamine Yamal (8 combined goal contributions in this tournament) in prime form. 

The Magpies will try to keep the Barcelona attackers in check, but the visitors have scored 12 goals in their last five games across all competitions. In the UCL, Barcelona have already scored 22 goals this season, with 9 of them coming in away matches.

Newcastle United vs Barcelona Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Barcelona to score the first goal
  • Odds: -123 (20Bet)

We expect Barca to open the scoring. As mentioned, the likes of Lewandowski and Yamal will thrive on taking the Newcastle defenders on in 1v1 situations. Barca are second in the table with the most goals per match (2.8 average), and they also have an average possession of 64.4% in this tournament. 

Fermin Lopez is their leading goalscorer in this tournament this season (5), while Marcus Rashford has the most goal contributions (8). Overall, their attacking unit looks deadly and will likely score first.
