Newcastle vs Qarabag: Preview

Newcastle hadn't won away from home in the Champions League 2025/26 before the opening leg against Qarabağ FK, but they emphatically ended that run in style.

Eddie Howe’s side came out flying and had effectively killed the tie by half-time, racing into a 5-0 lead before completing a commanding 6-1 victory. Four of those goals came from Anthony Gordon, whose European form has been nothing short of remarkable. He now boasts 10 goals in just nine Champions League appearances this season.

This one already feels like a bit of a formality. That said, the Magpies still have something to shoot for in a place in the UCL record books. The biggest aggregate win in the competition is Bayern Munich’s 12-1 demolition of Sporting CP back in 2008–09, and given how the first leg went, that tally isn’t completely out of sight.

For Qarabağ, it’s about salvaging some pride and putting in a performance this time around. Before running into Newcastle, they’d more than impressed against sides like Chelsea, Benfica and Frankfurt.

Realistically, even a draw would feel like a big result — never mind a win — considering their record against English clubs reads one draw and nine defeats.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Newcastle 4-0 Qarabag

Newcastle will fancy giving their fans something to cheer and a 4-0 win will do exactly that.
