Newcastle vs Qarabag Prediction & BETTING TIPS - 24/02/2026

Newcastle United and Qaragab face each other at St. James’ Park in a David-vs-Goliath Champions League clash. Given the huge gap in quality between the two sides, we predict a routine 4-1 home win. The Magpies rolled over Qarabag 6-1 in the first leg to move one step closer towards the last 16, but they surely want to give fans yet another reason to celebrate on Tuesday evening. As Newcastle have been scoring 2.00 goals per game of late, Home Team Over 1.5 bet seems appealing. Key midfielder Bruno Guimaraes remains in the recovery room, but was not missed at all in the first leg, while centre-back Malick Thiaw serves a one-game ban. The Azeri, on the other hand, face yet another uphill task in the second leg as they need to overcome a five-goal deficit away from home. As Qarabag experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the 6-1 loss to Newcastle United a week ago, we are not tempted to place our bets on the underdogs. The fact that Qarabag have been conceding 2.00 goals per away game of late definitely goes in favour of our betting prediction.
