PSG vs Newcastle United Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 01/28/26

Last Tuesday’s shock 2-1 loss to Champions League rivals Sporting means trophy-holders Paris Saint-Germain come into their final league-phase game in a precarious position. A win in Lisbon would have left the Parisians 3 points clear of the chasing pack but instead they start the final week level on 13 points with 7 other teams, including Newcastle. The Magpies comfortably beat Dutch league leaders PSV 3-0 last week to keep their hopes of skipping the playoff round alive, meaning there is plenty to play for in the French capital, where the losers may have to pay the price of missing out on a spot in the last 16.

Given they finished only 15th in last season’s league phase before going on to win the entire thing, missing out on the top 8 might not worry PSG too much, but Luis Enrique would still love to avoid fixture congestion if possible. For the first time in years, the Parisians are actually embroiled in a title race, only regaining top spot from Lens this weekend after being 2nd since late November, and Enrique is having to carefully manage the minutes of Ousmane Dembele, Desire Doue, Achraf Hakimi and many more of his key players.

Skipping the playoff round would provide a big boost, so it is good news their clash with Newcastle will be played in Paris and not at St. James’ Park, as Eddie Howe’s team has put in Jekyll-and-Hyde performances home and away this season.  The Magpies have won 3 of their 4 Champions League home games with shutouts but have been held to a draw at Bayer Leverkusen and beaten by Marseille on their travels. Extending into all competitions, Newcastle have won just 2 of their last 10 road games, and a trip to last season’s treble winners is unlikely to improve that record.
