Turning their attention back to Champions League action on Tuesday night, Newcastle will travel to the Stade Velodrome when they meet Marseille.
Embarking on what has become a real European flurry this season, Eddie Howe’s men have their sights firmly set on punching another iconic knockout stage ticket and they will be hoping to claim another heavyweight scalp in midweek.
Although Les Phoceens might have enjoyed a sensational Ligue 1 romp since opening up the 2025/26 campaign, the French giants have struggled to find any kind of fluidity while on the continent and are desperately searching for a much-welcomed European boost.
Ahead of what could be another frantic Champions League showdown on Tuesday night, we have taken a glance at some of the most appealing Marseille vs Newcastle bet builder tips.
Marseille’s action-packed reputation
Marking their return from November’s international break with a stellar 5-1 romp away at domestic foes Nice over the weekend, Marseille will be dreaming of a repeat performance here.
However, despite cruising their way to an empathic 4-0 victory against Dutch icons Ajax on September 30th, it appears that was just a minor European boost for Roberto De Zerbi’s camp.
Losing three of their first four Champions League showdowns and opening Tuesday’s fixtures sat outside the knockout stage spots, the former Brighton boss has also seen his squad gain a reputation for their frantic affairs.
Despite notching eight goals in their back-to-back domestic victories on either side of November’s fortnight interval, De Zerbi’s side have registered just a pair of clean sheets from any of their last eight appearances across all competitions.
It should also be highlighted, Les Phoceens have seen their last five matchups at the Stade Velodrome produce 20 goals at both ends of the pitch.

Issues on the road continue to haunt Howe
Collecting a heavyweight Premier League scalp over the weekend as they marked their respective return from November’s international break with a 2-1 win at home against Manchester City, Newcastle should be relishing a trip to France here.
However, although the Magpies might have won all of their previous three consecutive Champions League appearances by an aggregate score of 9-0, Tuesday’s guests have gained an unwanted reputation for their issues on the road.
Despite continuing to shine at St. James’ Park, Newcastle have lost their last three straight Premier League matchups outside of Tyneside by an aggregate score of 8-3.
Including consecutive 3-1 drumming against West Ham and Brentford this month, the former Bournemouth boss has also seen his squad muster just a single victory on their travels since back in April.
However, boosted by their sensational domestic display on Sunday, some in Howe’s camp could be smelling the chance to extend on their knockout stage charge.

Greenwood steals plenty of the headlines
While there might still remain a huge amount scrutiny around Mason Greenwood, it is hard to deny that the former Manchester United youngster is enjoying life among France’s elite.
Although it might seem impossible that Greenwood will ever find a route back into an England squad, the 24-year-old has shattered a string of records at the Stade Velodrome.
Along with notching 21 Ligue 1 strikes during his maiden campaign in France last season, Marseille’s leading marksman has once again come flying out of the traps.
Marking his respective return from November’s fortnight break with a Ligue 1 brace during Marseille’s 5-1 victory away at Nice on Friday, Greenwood has notched nine goals in as many appearances across all competitions.
Opening his Champions League account against Ajax on September 30th, the controversial ex-United star will be looking to test a Newcastle defence who have shipped eight goals in their last three matchups away from St. James’ Park.
