<p>The match will be played on Wednesday, March 11 (07:00 AEDT), at the venue of the earlier meeting in the competition.</p><p>Marcus Rashford netted twice for Barcelona in a 2-1 victory, with Anthony Gordon scoring a last-minute consolation goal for the English side.</p><h2>Quick Picks</h2><p><strong>Our pick:</strong> Barcelona to win</p><p><strong>Value bet:</strong> 'Yes' in the BTTS</p><p><strong>Long shot:</strong> Gordon and Rashford to score anytime</p><h2>Betting Preview</h2><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>Hansi Flick's Barcelona side are top of the <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/spain/spanish-la-liga">La Liga</a> 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.</p><p>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.</p><h2>Betting Markets to Watch</h2><p>The <strong>BTTS market offers value for the 'Yes' outcome</strong> 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).</p><p>As an extension, the '<strong>Over 2.5 Goals' market</strong> has hit in each of Barcelona's last 13 <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/how-to-bet-uefa-champions-league">Champions League</a> matches.</p><p><strong>Barcelona offer value as the winner</strong> 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.</p><h2>Our Prediction</h2><p>Check the latest <a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/betting/soccer/uefa-competitions/uefa-champions-league/newcastle-v-barcelona-10206554">Newcastle vs Barcelona betting odds</a> at Sportsbet.</p><p>We think a <strong>Barcelona win is likely</strong>, 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.</p><p>Our <strong>long shot is in the player prop markets, with Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford both scoring a goal at anytime</strong> 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.</p><h2>Keep Reading</h2><ul><li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/soccer/soccer-news/epl-betting-form-stats-analysis">The stats that actually matter when betting on Premier League matches</a></li><li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/punter-iq/guide/premier-league-betting-guide">Everything you need to know before betting on the EPL</a></li><li><a href="https://www.sportsbet.com.au/huddle/soccer/soccer-news/most-goals-football-history">The players who've found the net more than anyone else</a></li></ul>
