Tuesday night football under the lights at the Stade Vélodrome always feels special, and on 25th November at 20:00 BST, Marseille host Newcastle United in a Champions League clash that already feels huge. So, if you’re trying to work out the best Marseille vs Newcastle prediction, you’re in the right place. Eddie Howe’s side head to France looking comfortable in Europe, while Roberto De Zerbi’s team want to make this home advantage count.

Marseille vs Newcastle Team News

Well, team news matters a lot here, especially with both sides juggling a busy schedule.

Marseille

Marseille might have to cope without Amine Gouiri, who’s dealing with a back issue. On top of that, Emerson is suspended after a recent red card. That means De Zerbi could be forced into tweaks at the back and up top, where finding rhythm without Gouiri might be tricky.

Newcastle United

For Newcastle, there’s a bit more optimism.
Anthony Gordon, who’s been massive in the Champions League this season, should be available after recovering from a hip problem. There’s also a chance Yoane Wissa could make his debut — and that alone adds an interesting dynamic.

Newcastle come into this with serious European momentum:

• 3 wins in a row in Champions League games
• 3 consecutive clean sheets
• Goals in 6 straight matches in the competition

That attacking consistency gives them confidence heading into a notoriously hostile stadium.

Likely Lineups

Marseille (possible XI)

Rulli; Murillo, Pavard, Aguerd, Emerson; Højbjerg, Vermeeren; Greenwood, Gomes, Barbosa da Paixão; Aubameyang.

Newcastle United (possible XI)

Pope; Trippier, Thiaw, Botman, Burn; Guimarães, Tonali, Joelinton; Murphy, Woltemade, Barnes.

Marseille vs Newcastle United

This is the first Champions League meeting between these two clubs. Historically, Marseille have struggled at home in this competition, winning just 3 of their last 12 home matches. Newcastle, meanwhile, have been in strong continental form but haven’t always been convincing on the road.

Still, the feeling around Howe’s squad is positive, especially with their recent European run and the way they’ve been finding goals consistently. Marseille, though, can’t be underestimated at home — the Vélodrome atmosphere can tilt matches all on its own.

Marseille vs Newcastle United Betting Tips

Here are the angles that make most sense when you look at the rhythm of both sides:

Tip 1: Over 1.5 Goals

Both teams score regularly in Europe. Newcastle have found the net in six straight Champions League matches, while Marseille have failed to score just once in their last eight games in the competition. You’d expect at least two goals here.

Tip 2: Newcastle To Edge It

Newcastle have been clinical in Europe recently, and even though they’ve only had one away win this season in the Champions League, their three-match winning streak gives them a slight edge heading into this tie.

Tip 3: Both Teams To Score

Given the attacking talent on both sides — Gordon, Aubameyang, Greenwood, Murphy — it feels likely both nets bulge at least once.

Marseille vs Newcastle United Match Prediction

Here’s what I think: Newcastle come into this with more rhythm, more confidence, and more consistency in both boxes. Marseille still carry threat, especially at home, but their form in this competition has been unpredictable.

So, my Marseille vs Newcastle prediction is a Newcastle win — but a competitive one.
