The Spreadex Sports fixed odds Match Odds betting prices have Barcelona as the strong 6/11 favourites to secure an away victory while our 2 Up early pay out market, which pays out when a team goes two goals up, has Barca at 1/2.
Newcastle meanwhile are available at 4/1 for the away victory (10/3 on our 2 Up market), with the draw at 15/4.
In terms of odds To Qualify, Barcelona are available at 2/7, with Newcastle at 5/2.
Four of the six meetings so far between these sides have seen Both Teams Score - you can back Yes again at 2/5 here.
Our football spread betting prices have the Goal Supremacy as Barcelona/Newcastle 1.05 - 1.25. This means if Barcelona won 2-0 (or by any other two goal margin), a 'buy' bet at 1.25 would mean a return of 0.75x your initial stake.
However, if you bought at 1.25 in Barca's favour and the match ended goalless, you would lose 1.25x your stake. Or, if Newcastle were to grab a 2-0 (or any other two goal margin) win, the market would settle negatively at -2 and a buy at 1.25 would result in a loss of 3.25x your opening stake.
You can calculate various make-ups by using our handy spread betting calculator, found here.
Our spread betting Total Goals line is 3.7 - 3.9. So, a 3.9 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a 3.7 sell bet would need less than three goals to be scored in the match to turn a profit.
Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 3.9 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3.9x your opening stake if the match ended 0-0, and so on.
We have several pre-built Popular Bet-Builders, including Anthony Gordon to score anytime, Harvey Barnes to score anytime, Newcastle to win & Over 2.5 goals - 18/1, Lamine Yamal 2+ shots on target & Harvey Barnes 2+ shots on target - 5/1, Barcelona to win & Barcelona most corners - 11/10 and much more!
