Marseille 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

This is one of the most common markets in football betting. You can pick one out of the three possible outcomes in this fixture: 

• 1: Home team wins (Marseille)
• X: Draw 
• 2: Away team wins (Newcastle)

The odds are written in fractions – the denominator is the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return. If you analyze the Marseille vs Newcastle betting odds in the 1X2 market, the odds are 2/1 for Marseille, 7/3 for a draw, and 7/5 for Newcastle.

This means a bet on Marseille returns £2 for every pound wagered if they win. Similarly, successful bets on the Magpies return £7 for every £5, and a draw returns £7 for every £3. Your stake (betting amount) is also returned upon a successful bet.

The odds show how likely the bookmakers think an outcome will be. A lower return indicates the team may be a favourite and have a high chance of winning. Bookies lower the odds when an outcome is more likely. Similarly, bets on underdog teams pay more. 

However, that doesn’t guarantee the result. The odds are simply based on probability. Match results are unpredictable, so don’t rely just on the probabilities.

Also note that even though Marseille is ranked lower on the Champions table, it is in strong form in domestic matches. It ranks second in Ligue 1 with nine wins in 13 games. Newcastle ranks 14th in the Premier League with only four wins in 12 games.

Double Chance

The Double Chance market is a good choice if you are a cautious bettor. This market allows you to bet on two of the three possible outcomes in a match. You can choose:

• 1X: Home win (Marseille) or a draw
• X2: Away win (Newcastle) or a draw
• 12: Either team wins, meaning no draw

This gives you two chances for a win. However, this safety net also lowers potential returns, as your winning probability is high. Choose Double Chance over 1X2 if you believe both teams are equally matched in their form, and you are unsure who will win the fixture.

Handicap Betting Odds

The handicap betting market is designed to level the playing field, especially when one team appears to be stronger than the other. When this happens, bookmakers add a handicap or a disadvantage to the stronger team, which affects how the final score is interpreted.

For example, you choose to back Marseille with a +0.75 handicap. This means +0.75 will be added to their final goal tally, and the same number will be subtracted from Newcastle’s result. So, if Newcastle wins the match 1–2, the final score will be adjusted as 1.75–1.25, meaning bets on Marseille win even though they lost.

However, be careful when selecting the handicap, as the goal margin changes the outcome drastically.

Here are some popular handicaps for this fixture:

• Marseille (+0.25) / Newcastle (-0.25): Marseille gets an advantage in case of a draw. For example, a final score of 1–1 will be calculated as 1.25-0.75, giving a win to bets on the French club.
• Marseille (-1) / Newcastle (+1): Bets on Newcastle win if they win, draw, or lose by a one-goal margin. A two-goal difference leads to a draw (2–0 becomes 1–1). A three-goal margin leads to a win for Marseille.

• Marseille (+1.5) / Newcastle (-1.5): Marseille gets a two-goal lead here. If they lose by two goals, like 0–2, the handicap-adjusted score will be read as 1.5–0.5, meaning their bet still wins. A three-goal gap like 0–3 will lead to a draw (1.5–1.5). Newcastle will need to win the match with a 4-goal difference to overcome the handicap.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is a relatively easier market to follow for new bettors. This bet considers only one aspect of the game: whether both teams will score at least one goal during the match. The final score doesn’t matter here.

BTTS “Yes” wins if the final score is at least 1–1 or higher. The “No” bet wins if the final score has a zero in it, like 1–0, 0–0, 2–0, or 3–0.

When considering Marseille vs Newcastle odds in the BTTS market, look at both teams’ clean sheets. A clean sheet means the opposition team was unable to score even a single goal against them.

Both teams kept four clean sheets in their last 10 matches. Use this data to lower your risk.

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds

Goal Total, also known as Over/Under or O/U, focuses on the total number of goals. The winner doesn’t matter in this bet – only the final goal tally. For this fixture, bettors have the option to select Over/Under total ranging from 0.5 to 5.25.

In the above example, the Marseille vs Newcastle odds are given for the Over/Under 2.5 bet. Over 2.5 bets win if the combined total goals scored by both teams is three or more. Results like 1–2, 2–1, or 0–3 would all be winners. Under 2.5 will win if the match ends with two or fewer goals, like 0–0, 1–1, or 0–2.

Look at the average goals when choosing the Marseille vs Newcastle odds in this market. In the last 10 matches, Newcastle averaged 2.0 goals, and Marseille averaged 2.6. This brings their combined goal total to 4.6, which is well over the 2.5 line. Use this data to minimize your risk.

Correct Score Odds

In the Correct Score market, bettors need to predict the exact final score. The Marseille vs Newcastle odds in the correct score market are long because it’s difficult to make a precise prediction. Lower your risk by betting only small amounts in this market.
