The turnaround is stunning. After that Barcelona defeat, Newcastle won 3 consecutive games without conceding. Every victory came shutout style. Dan Burn’s header sparked a 2-0 win against Athletic Bilbao recently. That performance showed real character and grit under pressure.
Now they’re sixth in the standings with 9 points, level with PSG, Real Madrid, Liverpool, and Galatasaray. But here’s the thing—Newcastle is scoring at an absurd pace. In just 4 matches, they’ve put 10 goals past opponents. That’s 6 more than in their entire previous Champions League campaign. The offensiveness is jaw-dropping.
Marseille’s Tough Night
For Marseille, this match comes at a tough time. The home team faces a Newcastle side rolling on momentum. Hosting a match doesn’t guarantee anything against a team this sharp right now.
The Orange Velodrome in Marseille can be intimidating. But Newcastle isn’t intimidated. They’re confident, confident in their form and confident in their ability. The crowd will help Marseille, sure, but Newcastle’s recent run suggests they can handle the noise.
Odds makers have the match tight, but Newcastle edges as narrow favorites. That makes sense. The Magpies are playing better football right now. They’re clinical. They’re dangerous. And they’re hungry for history.
