Valencia vs Newcastle United Preview – prediction, team news, lineups | Pre-Season Friendly

This will be the second-ever clash between these clubs!

The LaLiga side, Valencia CF, will be taking on Matthias Jaissle’s Newcastle United for their sixth club friendly clash ahead of the new season. The Mestalla Stadium is all set to witness this contest.

The Carlos Corberán-led side have come up with inconsistent performances in their current pre-season campaign. They locked horns with Stoke City in their last friendly, ending the contest in a 1-1 draw as there was nothing to separate these sides.

Valencia CF will be in for a tough clash in their next matchup. They are not going to compete in any European competition in the upcoming season, but to do well in LaLiga, Los Ches must work on their tactics.

The Magpies have also underperformed in their ongoing pre-season run. They faced a dominant loss at the hands of the EFL Championship side, Bristol City (1-4). Newcastle United will be looking to jump back to winning ways.

Matthias Jaissle’s men still need to figure out a lot ahead of the 2026-27 season. They will be away from home for their upcoming clash and it will be a tough outing for them.

Players to Watch

Arnaut Danjuma (Valencia)

Arnaut Danjuma is all set to play a crucial role for Valencia CF once again. The LaLiga side secured a 1-1 draw in their previous outing. Having found the net early, Danjuma was the sole goal scorer for Los Ches. He will once again be deployed as a sole striker and might win it for his side this time around.

Harvey Barnes (Newcastle)

The 28-year-old engraved his name on the scoresheet for Newcastle United in their previous outing. His goal was more of a consolation prize for his side, but his overall performance on the attacking front was commendable. Harvey Barnes will be deployed on the left flank.
