PSG vs Newcastle odds
Group F — the ‘group of death’ — remains extremely open with just three points separating the four teams going into the final two matchweeks. Hosts PSG are looking to bounce back following a 2-1 defeat away at AC Milan last time out, but they still remain second in the group on six points. What’s more, the French champions beat Reims 3-0 away from home before the international break courtesy of a Kylian Mbappe hat-trick, before a 5-2 victory over title rivals Monaco at the weekend.
As for Newcastle, they made a great start to their Champions League return, drawing away in Milan before thrashing PSG 4-1 at home. However, they’ve hit a stumbling block since then with back-to-back defeats to Borussia Dortmund, meaning they sit bottom of the group. Simply put, the Magpies have to win here to keep their knockout hopes realistically alive. They may experience a little boost, however, coming into this game off the back of a 4-1 win over Chelsea.

Home win, BTTS & Half Time Result Draw @ 15/2 with Sky Bet
Although PSG conceded four goals the last time they met Newcastle, it’s hard to look past a home win. The French side have a perfect record at home in the Champions League this season, while Newcastle are yet to win away. However, expect the action to come in the second half with five of PSG’s seven Champions League goals this season coming after half time.
