Qarabag vs Newcastle: betting tip (cf 5.00) and bets on the Champions League match

Current form

Karabakh has extensive experience in the international arena and annually participates in European competitions, but even so, it was not considered a potential contender for a playoff berth. However, in the first round, Gurban Gurbanov's team created a big sensation by beating Benfica 3-2 at Estadio da Luz, and then the racehorses developed success by beating Copenhagen 2-0.

At the league stage, Qarabag created two more big sensations, snatching a 2-2 draw against Chelsea in a match in which it could well have won, in the seventh round, the Azerbaijani champion beat Eintracht 3-2 at home. This was enough to make it to the playoffs - despite a heavy 0-6 defeat by Liverpool in the last round, the horses finished in 22nd place in the table.

Before the start of the season, Karabakh was considered the main and undisputed favorite in the Azerbaijani championship, and so far it has unexpectedly taken second place in the table. The horses are four points behind the leader Sabah, which cannot yet be called a serious handicap. Before the match against Newcastle, Qarabag beat Imishli 1-0 away, securing their third consecutive victory in the championship.

Current form

Newcastle came to the start of the Champions League as a clear contender for a place in the playoffs - the selection of players obliged them to fight for a place among the 24 strongest, but at the same time it was very difficult to count on the top eight, given the highest competition. Having started with a 1-2 home defeat to Barcelona, Newcastle recovered in the second round and defeated Union 4-0.

Overall, Newcastle looked quite decent at the league stage, and apart from losing to Barcelona in the first round, they suffered only one defeat, losing 1-2 away to Marseille in the fifth round. In the final matches of the league stage, Eddie Howe's team almost guaranteed themselves the playoffs and looked quite decent, finishing the tournament in 12th place with a bright 1-1 draw against PSG.

In the Premier League, Newcastle clearly set itself the task of competing for a place in the top five, and in general, the selection of players made it possible to count on success. However, in the first round, the magpies frankly failed and had to make up for lost time, but so far they have not been able to rise above the 10th line. Last week, Newcastle made it to the 1/8 FA Cup by beating Aston Villa 3-1 away.
