Paris provides the setting for an exciting match from round eight of the UEFA Champions League. PSG welcome Newcastle United to the Parc des Princes for a showdown you can follow on TV and live streaming apps from 20:00 GMT. PSG are the defending champions, thrashing Inter Milan in last season's final. They are also sitting pretty in the top eight and eye a place in the finals.
Newcastle United travel from St James' Park to the French capital for the biggest match of their season. Eddie Howe's team have been rubbing shoulders with Europe's elite this term, and have been holding their own. A win over PSG would prove they belong at this level, are a genuine UCL contender, and would cement Newcastle's spot in the finals.
Will the locals pull rank on Wednesday, or do you expect Newcastle to score another upset win? The leading online bookmakers offer over 100 pre-match betting markets, including match-winner, both teams to score, and handicap. Keep reading as trusted Champions League writer Frank Monkhouse guides Flashscore readers to the PSG v Newcastle United betting value.

Match winner - PSG
Our first pick from Paris is for the locals to secure an important win and three points. PSG haven't been at their best in this year's competition, but they haven't had to be. The defending champions know securing a spot in the next round is the goal, with a top-eight finish the best-case scenario. PSG's experience tells them it's better to hit top gear in the knockout rounds.
Despite the Parisians' patchy recent form, winning only one of their previous four and losing last time out, they are in a strong position. PSG have already beaten English Premier League side Tottenham Hotspur in an eight-goal thriller back in November, blasting their way to a 5-3 victory. They also hammered German Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen 7-2 on the road in October.
When following this prediction, another high-scoring win pays the same as a 1-0 victory achieved with a stoppage-time goal. As long as the European champions out-score Newcastle United at home, your bet wins, and you'll secure a decent profit. You can back PSG in the match-winner market as a single or add the French giants to your Wednesday evening accumulators.
Bet explanation: If PSG beat Newcastle United, you beat the bookies.
Both teams to score - yes
For our second bet from Paris, we're taking both teams to score. You'll find this wager available on the bet365 app and site ahead of kick-off. Unlike the above bet, the winning team isn't important. A 5-1 victory for PSG pays you the same as a 1-1 draw. All you need here is for both the home team and the visitors to find the net at least once. It's a wager that allows you to cheer every attack in the match.
When betting on both teams to score, we take confidence from the stats. A bet on BTTS would've boosted your balance when PSG were last in UCL action, suffering a shock 2-1 loss to Sporting. It was also a smart bet when Luis Enrique's team drew 2-2 with Marseille, and beat Paris FC 2-1 at this venue earlier this month. Those results show PSG can score, but have also been conceding of late.
Switching to the recent form of Newcastle United adds weight to our argument. The Magpies drew 3-3 with Bournemouth in the FA Cup and beat Leeds United 4-3 in the Premier League, with both results at St James' Park. Howe's team also scored three goals against PSV when last appearing in the Champions League. Bet on PSG and Newcastle to entertain fans with a high-scoring and eventful 90 minutes.
Tip: Both teams to score @ 8/13 (bet365)
Bet explanation: PSG and Newcastle must score at least one goal each.
Result and BTTS - PSG and yes
Looking for a bet with a higher price attached? We've got you covered with the third of our PSG v Newcastle United predictions. Having advised two singles on a PSG win and both teams to score in the match, we combine those selections. You can follow our thinking and bet on PSG to win and both teams to score. That wager is in the match winner/BTTS market at bet365.
It's important to know that both parts of the bet must land to bag a profit. If you follow and PSG eases to a 3-0 victory, your bet loses as Newcastle didn't score. If the match ends 1-1, both teams scored, but your bet falls flat as PSG didn't claim all three points. Thankfully, the odds available allow bettors to keep their stakes small and still target a decent return.
Interestingly, PSG and Newcastle United have met twice before in competitive action, back in the 2023/24 season. The Parisians and the Magpies served up seven goals in those two meetings, and armchair fans hope for more of the same in this high-profile renewal. Back PSG to beat Newcastle, but the English side to make things interesting by scoring at least one goal.
Tip. PSG win and both score @ 15/8 (bet365)
Bet explanation: If PSG beat Newcastle and both teams score at least one goal, you beat the bookies.
