Newcastle v PSG predictions

Newcastle had to ride their luck when digging out a 0-0 draw away to Milan on Champions League matchday one but their good fortune could run out when they take on Paris St-Germain at St James' Park.

As soon as the draw was made it was pretty obvious that Newcastle faced a tricky challenge to finish in the top two of their group.

Group F stood out as the most competitive section with each team looking capable of taking points off each other.

And Newcastle were relieved to share the spoils at San Siro after coming up against a highly motivated Milan side energised by their passionate supporters.

Eddie Howe's team survived thanks to a combination of errant Milan finishing and superb goalkeeping from Nick Pope, but they will need to improve if they are to stand a realistic chance of moving on to the knockout rounds.

The Magpies kept a clean sheet against Milan despite allowing 25 shots and it is imperative that they offer much better protection to Pope, who may struggle to repeat his matchday one heroics.

While Milan's forwards lacked a clinical touch, PSG are likely to be far more ruthless.

Kylian Mbappe had an injury scare just ten days ago when limping off in the first half of a 4-0 league victory at home to Marseille, but he played a full match at the weekend as PSG laboured to a 0-0 draw away to Clermont.

Mbappe and his team-mates were well below their best on Saturday as they dropped points for the fourth time in seven league matches, but it would be a surprise if they were not saving something for their trip to Newcastle.

The Parisians know there is plenty of time to make up lost ground in the title race but they will be equally aware that the Champions League is a far less forgiving environment.

Luis Enrique's side were fully focused on matchday one when easing to a fairly routine 2-0 success at home to Borussia Dortmund and they will probably pay just as much respect to Newcastle as they go in search of another valuable three points.

After PSG lost Neymar and Lionel Messi in the summer there was a lot of talk about them having missed their best chance to win the Champions League.

However, the Parisians remain capable of mixing it with the very best opponents and they certainly look overpriced to triumph on Tyneside.

Newcastle v PSG bet builder predictions

Paris St-Germain to win
Paris St-Germain were fairly comfortable 2-0 winners at home to Borussia Dortmund on matchday one and they may prove too good for Newcastle on Tyneside.

Under 3.5 goals
There were just two goals in the opening two Group F matches and that low-scoring trend could continue.

Anthony Gordon to be booked
Anthony Gordon has already racked up five Premier League bookings this season and he looks an obvious card candidate.

Price guide: 13-1
