Olympique Marseille will host Newcastle United at the Orange Velodrome on Tuesday in the fifth round of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League’s league phase. The home side have struggled for results on the continental stage this season despite their exploits in domestic action and will be desperate for a positive result this week. Marseille were beaten 1-0 by Atalanta in their last Champions League outing, conceding in the 89th minute after their opponents had earlier squandered a first-half penalty and had a second-half goal ruled out for offside. They now sit 25th in the league phase table with just three points from a possible 12. Thanks for the submission! Newcastle United marked their return to action after the international break with an impressive 2-1 home victory over Manchester City in the Premier League and will be looking to take inspiration from that when they head to France this week. They beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 last time out in the UCL, with Dan Burn and Joelinton getting on the scoresheet in either half to hand Eddie Howe’s men maximum points and see them climb up to sixth place in the table. Olympique Marseille vs Newcastle United Head-to-Head and Key Numbers Tuesday’s game will mark the third competitive meeting between Marseille and Newcastle.

The visitors’ last competitive trip to France saw them play out a 1-1 draw with Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League. Marseille’s last meeting against English opposition in competitive action came during the 2023-24 campaign when they lost 1-0 to Brighton and Hove Albion in the Europa League group stages. Newcastle have conceded two goals in the Champions League this season. Only Inter (1) and Arsenal (0) have shipped fewer. Olympique Marseille vs Newcastle United Prediction Les Olympiens head into the midweek clash on the back of consecutive victories after winning just one of their previous five games. They have lost only once at the Orange Velodrome since the start of April and will fancy their chances ahead of Tuesday’s encounter. The Magpies, meanwhile, have won five of their last seven games across all competitions. They have, however, been poor on the road recently, losing each of their last three away outings, and could see that streak extend this week.
