Qarabag vs Newcastle: Preview

Qarabag head into the play-offs as history-makers already, becoming the first side from Azerbaijan to make it this far.

Wins over Benfica, Copenhagen and Frankfurt, coupled with a brilliant point against Chelsea, mean confidence is high.

The only worrying stat is that they have lost seven of their last eight against English opposition ahead of the Magpies' visit.

Camilo Durán has four European goals to his name already this term and will be one Newcastle will have to keep an eye on throughout.

Newcastle are winless away from home in Europe this season and it is that very Achilles heel that prevented them from finishing in a top-eight spot.

What will give the Magpies a huge boost is that 1-1 draw with PSG on the final matchday of the group stage, especially given the nature of that spirited point against the reigning European champions.

Newcastle also progressed against Spurs in the FA Cup recently, but did lose star man Bruno Guimaraes, who appeared to sustain a thigh injury.

He joins Joelinton (groin), Tino Livramento (thigh), Fabian Schar (ankle) and Emil Krafth (knee) are all also sidelined, while Sven Botman (back), Lewis Miley (thigh) and Yoane Wissa (knock) will be assessed.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Qarabag 1-1 Newcastle

Qarabag are no mugs and 1-1 would probably suit both parties heading into the second leg.
