Marseille vs Newcastle Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds

Newcastle will seek to build on Saturday's impressive victory over Manchester City in Marseille, where another win could potentially put the Magpies within touching distance of a place in the Champions League last 16.

Eddie Howe's men would move on to 12 points from five games with victory in the south of France, with 16 points having been enough to secure a top-eight spot last season. Marseille have work to do to avoid an early exit as they are down in 25th on three points, although they are in good company with Napoli one place above them and Juventus one below.

They also boast a good home record this season, which, combined with Newcastle’s struggles on their travels, gives them hope. We think the points could be shared and a score draw @ 3/1 is our tip.

Head To Head

The two clubs have only previously met in the 2004 UEFA Cup, and it was an experience Newcastle fans will not want to revisit, with Marseille denying the Magpies what would have been only their second European final.

Marseille managed to return from St James’ Park with a goalless draw before finishing off Sir Bobby Robson's side at home, star man Didier Drogba scoring both goals in a 2-0 win. Marseille would go on to lose the final to Valencia - Drogba’s final game for the club before his record-breaking £24million summer move to Chelsea.

Marseille Form

Marseille may be struggling in Europe, but they are flying high in Ligue 1, trailing leaders PSG by two points. Roberto De Zerbi’s side warmed up for the Newcastle match with a 5-1 away mauling of neighbours Nice, but it has been their home form which has been their strength this season.

They have won six of eight in front of their own fans, with their only loss being a 1-0 reverse against Atalanta, although that could prove a costly one to their European ambitions, as Marseille had also lost their away games at Real Madrid and Sporting Lisbon.

Betting on Marseille could be boosted by BOYLE Sports’ Sub Swap offer due to OM’s wealth of attacking talent, which includes Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Mason Greenwood, Igor Paixao and Neal Maupay, even without the injured Amine Gouiri. That means if, for example, you bet on Greenwood to open the scoring at 11/2 and he is replaced by Maupay with the game still goalless, your bet immediately transfers to the new man.

Newcastle Form

Newcastle’s 2-1 win over City continued their recent dominance at St James’, which has now brought six successive victories, including Champions League successes over Benfica and Athletic Bilbao. Unfortunately for the Carabao Cup holders, their away form has not been as profitable.

They have only won once in seven away games, although that was a 4-0 triumph over Union St Gilloise, which is part of a three-match winning streak in Europe since losing at home to Barcelona.

With confidence high following the weekend and their European form, Newcastle will be eyeing victory at the Velodrome, and you can get 3/1 for the Premier League side to be leading at half-time and full-time.
