The last time Newcastle faced Barcelona in the first leg last week, they were minutes away from a historic win before a 1-1 draw. This time, a buoyant Barca side hosts them to secure a spot in the quarter-finals.

It's Champions League action on Wednesday, March 18, as Newcastle travels to Camp Nou to face a Barcelona side mired in a 12-match run without a clean sheet. Magpies boss Eddie Howe will be aiming for his first-ever progression beyond the last 16.

 

📈Team Form📉

 

🔹 Barcelona: Leading La Liga by four points after a 5-2 win over Sevilla.

🔸 Newcastle United: Ninth in the Premier League after beating Chelsea 1-0.

 

📊Key Stats & Head-to-Head 📊

 

🔥 Barcelona have won 23 of 29 UEFA ties after drawing the first leg away.

🔥 Barcelona have not kept a clean sheet in their last 12 Champions League matches.

🔥 Newcastle have lost just two of their 11 Champions League games this season.

🔥 The first leg ended 1-1 after Lamine Yamal’s 96th-minute penalty cancelled out Harvey Barnes' opener.

 

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams 🔥

 

🔴Barcelona | Form: W🟢W🟢W🟢W🟢D🟡W🟢:

 

Despite defensive struggles, Hansi Flick's side can take heart from a dominant 5-2 victory against Sevilla in their last outing.

However, they have conceded in 12 straight European games and with pressure mounting, they will have to perform much better to reach the quarters for a third straight year.

 

⚫Newcastle United | Form: W🟢L🔴W🟢L🔴D🟡W🟢:

 

Eddie Howe's side extended their away form with a merited 1-1 draw against Barca, followed by a 1-0 win against Chelsea, despite a long run without a clean sheet previously.

They boast a strong mentality and have scored in 11 straight European games, a feat they will look to repeat against a Barca side that they held to a draw just eight days ago.

 

👥 Predicted Lineups 👥

 

🔴Barcelona (possible):

Garcia, Cancelo, Araujo, Cubarsi, Martin, Bernal, Pedri, Yamal, Fermin, Raphinha, Lewandowski.

 

⚫Newcastle United (possible):

Ramsdale, Trippier, Thiaw, Burn, Hall, Ramsey, Tonali, Joelinton, Elanga, Gordon, Barnes.

The last time Tottenham Hotspur travelled to Anfield in the Premier League in the 2024-25 season, they left with a crushing 5-1 defeat. That result confirmed Liverpool as Premier League champions, and now the two sides meet again with very different objectives.

It is Premier League action on Sunday, March 15, as Tottenham travel to Anfield to face a Liverpool side chasing a top-four spot. Spurs boss Igor Tudor will be desperate to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat since taking charge of the North London club.

 

📈Team Form📉

 

🔹 Liverpool: Sitting three points off the top four in the Premier League table.

🔸 Tottenham: 16th in the table and battling in a relegation dogfight.

 

📊Key Stats & Head-to-Head 📊

 

🔥 Liverpool have won 12 of their last 16 Premier League matches against Tottenham.

🔥 Tottenham are in the worst form in the league, taking only one point from their last 18 available.

🔥 Spurs have suffered six straight defeats in all competitions for the first time in their history.

🔥 Liverpool have already lost nine league games this season and will look to avoid reaching double figures.

 

🔬 What to Expect From Both Teams 🔥

 

🔴Liverpool | Form: W🟢W🟢W🟢L🔴W🟢L🔴:

 

Arne Slot’s side will be looking to bounce back quickly after a narrow league loss to Wolves and a continental defeat in Turkey.

The Reds have been formidable at Anfield and will see this fixture as the perfect opportunity to reignite their push for Champions League qualification.

With the 5-1 title-winning victory from last season still fresh in their minds, they will aim to exploit a depleted and struggling Spurs defence.

 

⚪Tottenham Hotspur | Form: L🔴L🔴L🔴L🔴L🔴L🔴:

 

Igor Tudor’s reign has started in nightmare fashion, with the manager losing each of his first four games in charge of the club.

The Lilywhites are currently missing up to 13 key players due to a combination of suspensions, head injuries, and long-term knee and thigh issues.

Sitting just one point above the relegation zone, they must find a way to stop the bleeding at a ground where they have historically struggled.

 

👥 Predicted Lineups 👥

 

🔴Liverpool (possible):

Mamardashvili, Frimpong, Konate, Van Dijk, Robertson, Gravenberch, Jones, Salah, Szoboszlai, Gakpo, Ekitike.

 

⚪Tottenham Hotspur (possible):

Vicario, Porro, Danso, Dragusin, Spence, Gray, Sarr, Tel, Simons, Richarlison, Solanke.

 

🔥 Matchups & Players to Watch 👀

 

✨ Mohamed Salah — The prolific forward remains the focal point of the Liverpool attack and a constant threat to a shaky Spurs backline.

✨ Dominic Solanke — Leading the line for Tottenham, he will be tasked with finding a way past Virgil van Dijk to give Spurs a lifeline.

✨ Ryan Gravenberch — His control in the midfield engine room will be vital in dictating the tempo of the game for the hosts.

✨ Xavi Simons — Expected to provide the creative spark for the visitors as they look to catch Liverpool on the counter-attack.

 

💵 Odds Market on MSport 💵

 

💵 Liverpool/Home to win = 1.34

💵 Tottenham/Away to win = 9.16

💵 Both teams to score (GG/NG Yes) = 1.76

💵 Over 2.5 total goals = 1.44

 

This clash presents a classic battle of a champion side looking to regain its footing against a Tottenham team in total freefall.

With Spurs missing a massive chunk of their first-team squad, Anfield expects another dominant display from the Merseyside giants.
