Marseille vs Newcastle: Predictions, Betting odds, Lineups, Preview

Explore Ladbrokes' detailed preview for Marseille vs Newcastle in the UEFA Champions League. Stats, odds, predictions, and lineups for the 20:00 GMT match.

• Fixture: Marseille vs Newcastle
• Date: Tuesday, 25 November 2025
• Kick-off: 20:00 GMT
• Venue: Orange Vélodrome

Marseille's recent form has been a bit of a rollercoaster, with three losses in their last four games. They've struggled to find the back of the net, scoring just one goal in their last two matches. However, their home win against Ajax shows they can be dangerous on their day. Expect them to come out with a strong defensive setup, looking to hit Newcastle on the counter with Aubameyang leading the charge.

Newcastle, on the other hand, have been in fine fettle, winning three of their last four games. They've been solid at the back, keeping clean sheets in their last two home victories. Their attacking play has been impressive, with multiple goal scorers in recent matches. Look for them to control possession and press high up the pitch, trying to exploit any weaknesses in Marseille's defence.

Marseille's recent form has been inconsistent, with three losses in their last four games. Their only win came against Ajax at home, where they managed a convincing 4-0 victory. However, their away form has been particularly poor, losing both of their last two away games. This could impact their confidence going into this match, especially if they struggle to break down Newcastle's solid defence.

• Loss: 0-1 vs Atalanta (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Sporting CP (A)

• Win: 4-0 vs Ajax (H)

• Loss: 1-2 vs Real Madrid (A)

Newcastle have been in excellent form, winning three of their last four games. They've been particularly strong at home, keeping clean sheets in their last two victories against Athletic Club and Benfica. Their only loss came against Barcelona, but they showed resilience in that match. This strong run of form should give them confidence as they look to continue their winning streak against Marseille.

The head-to-head record between Marseille and Newcastle is not available, as the two teams have never met in Europe's elite competition. Therefore, we can't draw any conclusions from past encounters. This adds an element of unpredictability to the match, as both teams will be looking to establish dominance in this fixture. It will be interesting to see how the teams approach this game without historical data to guide them.

• Amine Gouiri (Shoulder) - Out

• Facundo Medina (Ankle) - Out

• Hamed Traore (Thigh) - Out

• Nayef Aguerd (Groin) - Out

• Predicted lineup: Rulli (GK), Egan-Riley (DF), Pavard (DF), Emerson (DF), Weah (MF), O'Riley (MF), Hojbjerg (MF), Garcia (MF), Paixao (MF), Greenwood (MF), Aubameyang (AT)

Marseille's predicted lineup suggests a focus on defensive solidity with a back five, while relying on the creativity of O'Riley and Paixao to supply Aubameyang up front. Their recent form indicates they might struggle to break down Newcastle's defence, but they could pose a threat on the counter.

• Predicted lineup: Pope (GK), Livramento (DF), Thiaw (DF), Botman (DF), Burn (DF), Guimaraes (MF), Tonali (MF), Joelinton (MF), Barnes (AT), Woltemade (AT), Murphy (AT)

Newcastle's predicted lineup suggests they will continue with their 4-3-3 formation, which has served them well in recent games. With Guimaraes anchoring the midfield and Woltemade leading the attack, they should look to control the game and exploit any gaps in Marseille's defence.

• Aubameyang vs Botman: This will be a crucial battle between Marseille's experienced striker and Newcastle's solid defender.

• O'Riley vs Guimaraes: The midfield duel between Marseille's creative force and Newcastle's controlling presence could dictate the flow of the game.

• Paixao (Marseille): Paixao's ability to link midfield and attack makes him a key player for Marseille's offensive transitions.

• Barnes (Newcastle): Barnes's pace and finishing ability make him a constant threat to Marseille's defence.

Marseille vs Newcastle at 20:00 GMT on Tuesday, 25 November 2025, will be broadcast live for viewers in the UK on TNT Sports 2.
