Quick Picks

Our pick: Barcelona to win

Value bet: 'Yes' in the BTTS

Long shot: Gordon and Rashford to score anytime

Betting Preview

It's a big game and arguably the tie of the first day of Round of 16 action, with plenty of betting value potentially available for punters to explore.

Newcastle have struggled recently in the Premier League and were eliminated from FA Cup contention by Manchester City. In the UCL, they had to overcome Qarabag in the playoffs, though they did so comprehensively, winning 9-3 on aggregate.

Hansi Flick's Barcelona side are top of the La Liga table, building a four-point lead over Real Madrid. Lamine Yamal has 14 goals this season domestically. In the UCL, they finished 5th, winning 5 of their 8 games, with 2 draws and 1 defeat. Newcastle were only two points worse off than their Spanish rivals, scoring 17 to Barca's 22, and conceding 7 to Barca's 8.

Gordon has become a hugely potent attacker in the UCL this season, scoring 10 goals. This places him second, three behind Kylian Mbappe. Newcastle have scored 26 goals (the joint-most) since the playoffs. Barcelona's Rashford has five goals in four games.

Betting Markets to Watch

The BTTS market offers value for the 'Yes' outcome in this game. Neither side has struggled to find the back of the net; Newcastle have scored in each of their 10 games, while Barca were goalless in just one game (3-0 defeat to Chelsea).

As an extension, the 'Over 2.5 Goals' market has hit in each of Barcelona's last 13 Champions League matches.

Barcelona offer value as the winner of this tie. As noted, they won the matchup earlier in the season, but they have an impressive record against English sides at this stage of the UCL. Barcelona has won eight of its last nine Champions League Round of 16 matches against English teams.

Our Prediction

Check the latest Newcastle vs Barcelona betting odds at Sportsbet.

We think a Barcelona win is likely, as they have a strong record against English teams and have been impressive this season. Defeats have been rare for Flick's team, while Eddie Howe's side have had struggles with finding consistency.

Our long shot is in the player prop markets, with Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford both scoring a goal at anytime in this match. Both netted in the first tie and have since been lethal in this competition. While both have been able to score frequently in the UCL, there's no guarantee they will on Wednesday, which is why we've made it a long shot.
