Newcastle vs. PSG: Preview and betting tips

Newcastle are the bookmakers’ favourites for Wednesday’s clash. Football fans are definitely not of the same opinion, but no one doubts that it should be a thrilling battle. How are both teams at the moment?

Newcastle have had a tough start to the season, having faced Aston Villa, Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton right from the start. Out of these 4 games, they could only manage to take three points for winning the opening game of the season. Since then, however, he hasn’t scored a single goal.

And that’s what the strikers of Brentford, AC Milan and Manchester City have tried to do. So Newcastle are in a very good playing condition and the question will be how they can cope with PSG, who are definitely not in such a good condition.

After two wins against Dortmund and Marseille, the Parisian side lost points in Ligue 1 again, this time in a goalless draw with Clermont. Out of 7 league games, they have won only 3, which is really not enough for PSG.

In the Champions League it will not be any easier for coach Luis Enrique’s charges, as they managed to win the opening match, but now they will face two even tougher opponents in the form of Newcastle and AC Milan.

Wednesday’s game will show a lot if Newcastle can really measure up to the European elite. AC Milan managed to keep them at bay, but this time they will have an even harder time as they will have to manage to keep Kylian Mbappe at bay.

Eddie Howe can be happy with just a good defensive performance, that should be the English team’s biggest weapon. PSG have been conceding a lot of goals in recent games.

So a bet on both teams to score at odds of around 1.6 is an interesting choice. The bookmakers are really favouring Newcastle very easily, but personally I would believe more in PSG’s attacking power.
