Barcelona vs Newcastle Betting Odds
7bet offers competitive betting odds for all UEFA Champions League matches, including this fixture.
Please note that the odds mentioned below are accurate as of the publishing time of the article.
1X2 Odds
| Barcelona (1) | X | Newcastle (2) |
| 6/11 | 10/3 | 7/2 |
This is one of the most common markets in football betting. Bettors can pick one out of three possible outcomes:
- 1: Home team (Barcelona) wins
- X: Draw
- 2: Away team (Newcastle) wins
If your chosen outcome is successful, your bet pays out based on the odds provided by the bookmaker. UK sportsbooks use fractional odds, where the denominator indicates the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return.
If you examine the Barcelona vs Newcastle betting odds in the 1X2 market, the odds are 6/11 for Barcelona, 7/2 for Newcastle, and 10/3 for a draw. This means a successful bet on the English team will pay £7 for every £2, while correctly predicting Barcelona’s win at 6/11 odds will pay £6 for every £11. A draw pays £10 for every £3. If your bet wins, your stake (betting amount) is refunded.
Upon simplifying the odds, bets on the English team pay £3.5, while bets on the Spanish team pay £0.54 per pound. When a bet pays low returns, the odds are called “short” as the outcome is considered more likely. Bets that pay more have “long” odds. In this scenario, the odds for Barcelona are short, which means they may be considered the favourite in this fixture.
However, bettors should note that odds are just a prediction and don’t affect the actual outcome. Consider both teams’ recent form and lineup before selecting who to back.
Double Chance
| Barcelona or Draw | Barcelona or Newcastle | Draw or Newcastle |
| 3/17 | 1/5 | 11/10 |
Double Chance is a variation of the 1X2 market. Bettors can pick two out of three outcomes simultaneously:
- Barcelona or Draw (1X): This bet loses if Newcastle wins.
- Barcelona or Newcastle (12): Loses if the game ends in a draw.
- Draw or Newcastle (X2): This bet loses if Barcelona wins.
Consider this market if you believe we’ll see a tightly contested game on Wednesday, and predicting a result may be difficult.
Your probability of winning in Double Chance is higher than 1X2, since you get to pick more options. But this also means that your payout will be lower. Bookmakers lower the odds when the likelihood of a result becomes very high.
Cautious bettors should consider this market instead of 1X2.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Barcelona (-1) | Newcastle (+1) |
| 20/23 | 4/5 |
| Barcelona (+0.5) | Newcastle (-0.5) |
| 2/11 | 17/5 |
| Barcelona (-2.25) | Newcastle (+2.25) |
| 11/4 | 4/17 |
A handicap bet is designed to give an advantage to your chosen team and a similar disadvantage to the other team. A +1 advantage to Newcastle means 1 point will be added to their final goal tally. Similarly, 1 point will be taken away from Barcelona. So, if the match ends 2–1, the handicap adjusted score will be read as 1–2.
Adding a handicap ensures your chosen team gets a head start. However, it is important to consider the goal difference when selecting a handicap. The bigger the handicap, the bigger the goal margin needs to be for the other team to overcome the gap.
Here are a few examples of how your bet will pay out with different handicaps:
- Barcelona (-1) / Newcastle (+1): Bets on Newcastle win if they win, draw, or lose by one goal. A two-goal loss leads to a draw (2–0 becomes 1–1). Barcelona will need to win with a 3-goal lead to overcome the gap.
- Barcelona (+0.5) / Newcastle (-0.5): Bets on Barcelona win in case of a draw.
- Barcelona (-2.25) / Newcastle (+2.25): Newcastle bets win if they win, draw, or lose by four goals (4–0 becomes 1.75–2.25). Barcelona will need to win with a five-goal margin to beat the handicap (5–0 becomes 2.75–2.25).

Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 12/25 | 16/11 |
Consider the clean sheets (when the opposition team’s score is zero) for both teams in this market. Barcelona kept four clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while Newcastle kept none. Out of their two head-to-head games, one had a clean sheet.
These statistics will help you decide how to pick the Barcelona vs Newcastle odds in the BTTS market. The higher the clean sheets, the higher the chances for BTTS No bets. This bet wins if there is a zero in the final score, like 1–0 or 0–0.
Choose BTTS “Yes” if you believe that the score will be at least 1–1 or higher, meaning both teams will score at least once. Choose the “No” bet if you think either one or both teams will keep a clean sheet on Wednesday.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 3.5 | Under 3.5 |
| 1/1 | 5/7 |
For this fixture, the default betting line is set at Over/Under 3.5. An Over 3.5 bet pays if the combined goal total is four or higher. An Under 3.5 bet pays if the combined goal total is three or lower. For example, scores like 2–2, 3–1, 4–0, etc., will pay out for the Over 3.5 bet. Similarly, scores like 1–2, 0–0, 2–1, 1–1 will pay out for an Under 2.5 bet.
Barcelona averaged 2.1 goals in their last 10 matches. Newcastle averaged 2.3 goals in the same period. This brings their average combined goal total to 4.4, which is well above the 3.5 betting line. Use this data when considering the Barcelona vs Newcastle odds in the Over/Under market.
Correct Score Odds
| Correct Score | Barcelona vs Newcastle Odds |
| 0–0 | 25/1 |
| 1–0 | 11/1 |
| 1–1 | 8/1 |
| 0–1 | 20/1 |
| 2–0 | 9/2 |
| 0–2 | 35/1 |
| 2–2 | 12/1 |
In the Correct Score market, bettors must predict the exact final score. This can be a difficult market to bet on as it involves risk and guesswork. However, if your analysis is correct, you stand to win a lot. For example, predicting a precise 1–0 win for Barcelona pays £11 for every pound, and predicting a correct 0–2 win for Newcastle pays £35 for every pound in the Correct Score market. These are just a few examples of possible scores. You can adjust the betting line for both teams’ goals on our page between 0 and +5 goals, per your analysis.
