Qarabag vs Newcastle Betting Odds
7bet offers competitive betting odds for all Champions League matches, including this fixture.
Please note that the odds mentioned below are accurate as of the publishing time of the article.
1X2 Odds
| Qarabag FK (1) | X | Newcastle United (2) |
| 11/2 | 10/3 | 2/5 |
This is one of the most common markets in football betting. Bettors can pick one out of three possible outcomes:
- 1: Home team (Qarabag FK) wins
- X: Draw
- 2: Away team (Newcastle United) wins
If your chosen outcome is successful, your bet pays out based on the odds given by the bookmaker. UK sportsbooks use fractional odds, where the denominator indicates the bet amount and the numerator is the expected return.
If you examine the Qarabag vs Newcastle betting odds in the 1X2 market, the odds are 11/2 for Qarabag FK, 2/5 for Newcastle United, and 10/3 for a draw. This means a successful bet on Qarabag FK will pay £11 for every £2. Correctly predicting Newcastle United’s win at 2/5 odds will pay £2 for every £5, and a draw pays £10 for every £3. Stakes on winning bets are also refunded.
Bookmakers lower the odds of a stronger team to balance the market, as they are expected to win. So, if the odds are “short” or low, the team may be considered a favourite in this fixture. If you want to bet on the weaker team, bets such as Double Chance or Handicap are more favourable.
In this fixture, Newcastle has short odds, so it can be considered stronger. However, fans should not underestimate the Azerbaijani team. They are currently second in their domestic league and have also reached the quarterfinals of the Azerbaijani Cup. Meanwhile, Newcastle is trailing in the 12th spot in the Premier League. So, keep their recent performances in mind when picking your selection in the 1X2 market.
Double Chance
| Qarabag or Draw | Qarabag or Newcastle | Draw or Newcastle |
| 6/4 | 3/17 | 1/10 |
Double Chance is a variation of the 1X2 market. Bettors can pick two out of three outcomes simultaneously:
- Qarabag or Draw: Loses if Newcastle wins.
- Qarabag or Newcastle: Loses if the game ends in a draw.
- Draw or Newcastle: Loses if Qarabag wins.
Your probability of winning in Double Chance is higher than 1X2, since you get to pick more options. But this also means that your payout will be lower. Bookmakers lower the odds when the likelihood of a result becomes very high.
Consider this market if you believe we’ll see a tightly contested game on Wednesday. But if your analysis shows one team is clearly stronger in this fixture, then a 1X2 bet makes more sense.
Handicap Betting Odds
| Qarabag FK (+1.25) | Newcastle United (-1.25) |
| 4/5 | 20/23 |
| Qarabag FK (+2.75) | Newcastle United (-2.75) |
| 2/13 | 15/4 |
| Qarabag FK (+0.25) | Newcastle United (-0.25) |
| 12/5 | 2/7 |
A handicap bet is designed to give an advantage to your chosen team and a similar disadvantage to the other team. For example, you award a +1 advantage to the Azerbaijani team. With this handicap, 1 point will be added to their final goal tally. Similarly, 1 point will be taken away from Newcastle. So, if the match ends 0–1, the handicap adjusted score will be read as 1–0. This means bets on Qarabag win even if they lose the match.
Adding a handicap ensures your chosen team gets a head start. However, it is important to consider the goal difference when selecting a handicap. The bigger the handicap, the bigger the goal margin needs to be for the other team to overcome the gap.
All handicaps for this fixture are negative for Newcastle and positive for Qarabag. Here are a few examples of how your bet will pay out:
- Qarabag (+1.25) / Newcastle (-1.25): With this handicap, bets on Qarabag win if they win, draw, or lose the match with a two-goal difference. For example, Newcastle wins 0–2. Based on the handicap, the final score will be calculated as 1.25–0.75, giving a win to bets on Qarabag. Newcastle will be able to overcome the handicap with a three-goal margin win, like 0–3 (1.25–1.75).
- Qarabag (+2.75) / Newcastle (-2.75): This gives a big advantage to the Azerbaijani team. Bets on Qarabag win if they win, draw, or lose by five goals (0–5 becomes 2.75–2.25)
- Qarabag (+0.25) / Newcastle (-0.25): Bets on Qarabag win in case of a draw.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)
| Yes | No |
| 6/7 | 11/13 |
BTTS stands for Both Teams To Score. BTTS “Yes” bets pay if both teams score at least one goal during the full 90 minutes and stoppage time. So, any score that is 1–1 or higher will pay out on “Yes” bets.
On the other hand, BTTS “No” bets pay if either or both teams fail to score. Any score with a zero in it, like 1–0, 0–0, 0–2, etc., pays in this market.
Consider the clean sheet records of both teams when looking at the Qarabag vs Newcastle odds in the BTTS market. The higher the clean sheets (where the opposition team’s score is zero), the more chances that “No” bets may win.
