The scoreline read 1-6 after the first leg and now decision time is here for visitors Qarabag FK and Newcastle. Their second leg meeting in the Champions League takes place at the St James' Park this coming Tuesday.

Hopefully Qarabag FK believe in wonders, as that is what they need to achieve the seemingly impossible task ahead of them. They took a heavy (6-1) hammering in the first leg, and surely Newcastle are far too good to waste such on home soil. It will be nothing short of a miracle should Qarabag FK manage to overturn the (1-6) deficit from the first leg. Suffering such a serious hammering, one is left wondering whether their confidence has taken too much of a hit to even attempt to strike back.

Newcastle scored 24 goals on average in their previous ten matches in this tournament, hitting the target 24 times. They conceded ten goals as well, an average of one and pulled off four clean sheets.

Qarabag FK enter their next Champions League match, averaging a lowly 1.4 goals per game in their last ten matches in this tournament. They scored a disappointing total of 14 goals, while also conceding 28. That amounts to an average of 2.8 per game, in which they kept their opponents from scoring one times.

Qarabag FK Form

It is all or nothing with Qarabag FK, who only triumphed once in their previous three outings. They were defeated 6-0 against Liverpool, before beating Turan Tovuz 1-0. Unable to build on that, they lost 1-6 against Newcastle. Qarabag FK only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the Champions League. In these six matches they drew one and lost four as well as being outscored by 15 goals to five.

Newcastle should be too strong at St James' Park to drop any points against Qarabag FK, and combining the home win with over 2.5 goals looks the value bet.
