Barca to progress
After last week’s 1-1 draw at St James’ Park, Barcelona and Newcastle United reconvene in Catalonia for the return leg of their Champions League last-16 tie.
Although Newcastle will undoubtedly put up a decent fight, it’s difficult to imagine anything other than a home win here.
Despite flitting between the Estadi Johan Cruyff and Olimpic Lluis Companys during the season’s opening exchanges as renovation works continued on the Camp Nou, Barcelona have incredibly only lost once on home soil all season.
That defeat, a 2-1 reverse to Paris Saint-Germain in early October, admittedly occurred in a Champions League fixture, but the Blaugrana have otherwise been flawless in their own backyard.
While their domestic form has been extremely inconsistent of late, Newcastle haven’t been beaten in Europe since November’s 2-1 loss to Marseille at the Stade Velodrome.
However, the Magpies only managed to acquire five points from their four league phase away fixtures and succumbed to Barca on the opening matchday, so they may struggle to secure a positive result on Wednesday night.

Goals galore at the Camp Nou
Given Barcelona’s embarrassment of attacking riches and the fact Newcastle will likely need to score at some stage to remain in the tie, don’t be surprised if we see plenty of goals.
Hansi Flick’s side have already netted an eye-watering 117 goals this season, with 23 of these coming on European duty. Both teams have scored in all four of Barca’s Champions League home matches so far, which produced 18 goals in total.
Only three clubs – Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid, and Paris Saint-Germain – have scored on more occasions than Newcastle, who hammered six past Azerbaijani outfit Qarabag in the first leg of their knockout phase playoff tie.

An enticing 18/1 Bet Builder featuring Anthony Gordon
Anthony Gordon has been prolific in Europe this term, registering 10 goals in 11 appearances to assume a second place in the competition’s top scorer charts.
Having found the net with 10 of his 14 shots on target, the former Everton star is consistently demonstrating his superb finishing capabilities.
After celebrating becoming the youngest player in history to reach 30 Champions League appearances by slotting an injury-time penalty beyond Aaron Ramsdale, Lamine Yamal is aiming to take his European goals tally into double-figures on Wednesday night.
In addition to scoring four times and claiming three assists in the Champions League this season, the talented teenager has delivered a staggering 24 direct goal involvements in as many La Liga appearances.
Newcastle have already been awarded 64 corners in the Champions League, more than 32 of the 36 participating sides.
With 11 matches already under their belt, this means the Magpies have taken an average of 5.8 corners per match.
It’s also worth noting that last year’s EFL Cup winners have received more corners (196) than any other Premier League club this season.
