Eddie Howe’s side begin the matchday 12th in the standings and just two points adrift of the automatic qualification places, while PSV sit 21st and are glancing nervously over their shoulder with only a slim two-point cushion separating them from 25th-placed Benfica.
Newcastle arrive back on home soil after a frustrating 0-0 draw at Wolves in the Premier League. PSV, meanwhile, travel north knowing they cannot afford many more slip-ups, particularly with Bayern Munich still to come in their final league-phase fixture.

Driouech to play 2+ shots
PSV forward Couhaib Driouech has been one of the most efficient attacking contributors in the Champions League this season, averaging a goal involvement every 31 minutes after registering three goals and two assists in just 156 minutes of action.
His impact has been decisive, regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench, while PSV’s ability to score away from home points to an attacking intent that should present opportunities to the forward.
With Newcastle missing key defensive personnel and often conceding after the break, backing Driouech to attempt two or more shots at 3/10 looks justified.
Tip: Couhaib Driouech to play 2+ shots @3/10
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Couhaib Driouech play two or more shots against Newcastle
Over 2.5 goals
Five of Newcastle’s six Champions League league-phase games have already gone over 2.5 goals, while PSV’s matches have followed an even stronger trend, with all six featuring goals at both ends.
The timing data also supports late drama, with Newcastle conceding five of their six UCL goals after half-time and PSV scoring 11 of their 15 league-phase goals in the second half.
Given the importance of this match for both sides and their quality attacking profiles, over 2.5 goals at 2/5 appeals strongly.
Tip: Over 2.5 goals @2/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if there are at least three goals in the Newcastle v PSV game.
Gordon to play 2+ shots
Anthony Gordon continues to thrive on the European stage. He is closing in on club history, needing just one more goal to equal Alan Shearer’s record for most goals by a Newcastle player in a single Champions League campaign.
Gordon has already been directly involved in seven goals in six UCL matches this season and has consistently found shooting opportunities, particularly as games open up after the interval.
Against a PSV side comfortable in possession but vulnerable in transition, Gordon’s direct running should see him test the goal at least twice, making 2+ shots at 2/5 a well-supported selection.
Tip: Anthony Gordon to have 2+ shots @ 2/5
Bet explanation: This bet wins if Anthony Gordon plays at least two or more shots against PSV.
