Match Facts

  • Marseille and Newcastle’s only previous meetings in Europe came in the 2003-04 campaign, with the French side going unbeaten home (2-0) and away (0-0) versus the Magpies in the UEFA Cup semi-finals (finished as runners-up that season).

  • This will be the ninth time that Newcastle have faced a French side away from home in European competition, with their only victory from the previous eight (D3 L4) coming at Sochaux in the UEFA Cup in November 2004 (4-0).

  • Marseille are winless in their last 12 games against English sides in Europe (D3 L9), with their last such victory coming against Chelsea back in December 2010 (1-0 in the UEFA Champions League). The French side have scored just five goals across those 12 matches.

  • Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has faced Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi on three previous occasions across all competitions, with both managers recording one victory each (D1). 11 goals were scored across the three meetings (6 for Newcastle, 5 for Brighton), at an average of 3.7 per game.

  • Newcastle will be looking to win four consecutive matches for the first time in the UEFA Champions League (currently on a three-game winning streak), while they are already on their longest run of consecutive clean sheets in the competition (3).

  • Marseille have dropped six points from winning positions in the UEFA Champions League this season, more than any other side. They’re the only side to have lost multiple matches in which they scored the opening goal in the current tournament (2 – both 2-1 defeats against Real Madrid and Sporting CP).

  • Newcastle have scored 10 goals in four UEFA Champions League matches this term, already four more than in their previous appearance in the competition under Eddie Howe (6 in 6 games in 2023-24). The Magpies are one of only five sides with a shot conversion rate of 20% or higher this season (20% - 10 goals from 50 shots).

  • Anthony Gordon has been directly involved in five goals in four UEFA Champions League games this season (4 goals, 1 assist), with only Victor Osimhen (6) having more combined in the current edition. The only Newcastle player with more goal involvements in a single Champions League campaign is Alan Shearer, who had seven in the 2002-03 season (6 goals, 1 assist).

  • Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Igor Paixão have combined for three goals in the UEFA Champions League this season (two assists by Aubameyang, one by Paixão); the most between any duo in the current edition so far.

  • Newcastle’s Bruno Guimarães has made the joint-most passes breaking the oppositon’s defensive line in the UEFA Champions League this season (9 – level with Joshua Kimmich), while Atlético Madrid (35) are the only team with more defensive line-breaking passes than the Magpies (32) in the competition overall this term.
