Qarabağ

LLWWWL

Illustrating their predisposition for high-scoring encounters, we’ve had goals 20 times in the previous six matches in which Qarabağ have played, yielding an average of 3.33 goals per meeting. Their opponents have got 15 of this grand total. That sort of pattern might not follow through into this match, though.

🗞️ Team News: Newcastle United

Lewis Miley (Dead leg), Yoane Wissa (Bruised knee), Tino Livramento (Hamstring injury) and Fabian Schär (Broken ankle) will not be able to play for Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe. Suspended players who are serving a ban for this game are Malick Thiaw, Emil Krafth and Mark Gillespie.

We are thinking that The Magpies could opt for a 4-1-4-1 system in the match with Aaron Ramsdale, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Daniel Burn, Alex Murphy, Sandro Tonali, Jacob Murphy, Joseph Willock, Joelinton, Harvey Barnes and William Osula.

📋 Team News: Qarabağ

It’s our belief that Atlılar seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Mateusz Kochalski, Matheus Silva, Badavi Huseynov, Kevin Medina, Elvin Jafarquliyev, Pedro Bicalho, Marko Jankovic, Leandro Andrade, Jonathan Montiel, Abdellah Zoubir and Camilo Duran.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment is that Newcastle United will most probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

At the other end, Qarabağ could well struggle to find the back of the net but we do fancy them converting at least once.

We can therefore see a fairly comfortable 3-1 victory for Newcastle United come full-time.
