With a 6‑1 advantage in their pockets from the match in Baku, Newcastle gets ready to play against Qarabağ for the second leg of their UEFA Champions League play‑off on 24 February at 20:00 GMT. Anthony Gordon’s four goals and Malick Thiaw’s early header meant Eddie Howe’s side were out of sight before half‑time.
The match takes place at St James’ Park, a stadium known for its raucous atmosphere and capacity crowd of around 52,000, so expect a vibrant evening even if the tie looks settled. The reward for progressing is a meeting with either Barcelona or Chelsea in the round of 16.
Newcastle vs Qarabağ – Betting Odds
The bookmakers expect Newcastle to finish the job, pricing the home win at short odds after the first‑leg demolition. Qarabağ, for all their resilience, are huge outsiders. As always, make sure to re-check the most updated Newcastle vs Qarabağ betting odds before placing your bets.
1X2 Betting Odds
The most basic market you can find on our Newcastle vs Qarabağ odds page. The 1×2 bet offers three mutually exclusive outcomes: 1 for the home team winning, X for a draw, and 2 for the away team winning. For this second leg the prices are extremely one‑sided because Newcastle’s 6‑1 first‑leg lead, home advantage and superior squad depth make them overwhelming favourites.
| Newcastle win (1) | Draw (X) | Qarabağ win (2) |
| 1/9 | 13/2 | 14/1 |
Should the match proceed to extra‑time (for example, if Qarabağ overturns the six‑goal deficit), 1X2 bets settle on the 90‑minute score, not including extra‑time or penalties. If you’re content to risk more for a bigger payout, the 14/1 on an improbable away win might tempt, but remember: the figure reflects the bookmakers’ belief that it isn’t going to happen.
Double Chance Odds
The double chance market gives a safety net by combining two outcomes into one bet. You can back 1X (home team or draw), 12 (either side to win), or X2 (draw or away team). Because you’re effectively covering two of the three possible outcomes, the odds are much shorter than the straight 1X2 prices.
| 1X – Newcastle or draw | 12 – Newcastle or Qarabağ | X2 – Draw or Qarabağ |
| 1/50 | 1/17 | 16/5 |
In this tie, 1/50 on Newcastle or Draw suggests the market thinks it’s almost impossible for Qarabağ to win.
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap markets are designed to balance a contest between uneven teams by giving one side a virtual head‑start or a disadvantage. Below we provide a couple of examples, but you can choose the handicap you prefer.
The favourite receives a negative handicap (minus goals) and must win by more than that amount for the bet to succeed, while the underdog receives a positive handicap and can still lose by a smaller margin.
A -3 line for Newcastle demands a four‑goal victory, whereas +3 on Qarabağ covers them even if they lose by up to three goals. Handicaps are a useful way to squeeze value out of a one‑sided fixture because they even the playing field from a betting perspective.
| Newcastle -2.5 | Qarabağ +2.5 |
| 10/11 | 10/13 |
| Newcastle -3 | Qarabağ +3 |
| 31/20 | 10/21 |

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
The both teams to score market (commonly abbreviated BTTS) asks a simple question: will both teams score at least once during the 90 minutes? You select Yes or No.
The price on Yes suggests bookmakers expect Qarabağ to find the net even if they lose. In the first leg the Azerbaijani champions scored a consolation goal through Elvin Cafarguliyev. However, Newcastle have kept clean sheets at St James’ in recent domestic matches, which is why No is only slightly longer.
BTTS markets are popular because they are not tied to the match result. You can cheer for both sides to attack and still win your bet even if the match ends 4‑1. If you think one side will blank (for example, if you expect the Magpies’ defence to suffocate Qarabağ), backing No offers value.
| Yes | No |
| 8/9 | 9/11 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Goal total bets revolve around how many goals will be scored in the match. Bookmakers set a line – often 2.5 or 3.5 goals – and you decide whether the final tally will be over or under that line. To win an over 3.5 bet you need at least four goals combined; so if the game ends 3‑1, 4‑0, 2‑2 or higher, over bettors collect. If it finishes 3‑0 or 2‑1, under bettors win.
The first leg produced seven goals, so many punters expect another high‑scoring match. However, a comfortable Newcastle may lower the tempo after going ahead, which is why the under pays slightly more than the over.
Remember, this is just an example. You’re free to set the line wherever you want.
| Over 3.5 goals | Under 3.5 goals |
| 20/29 | 21/20 |
Correct Score Odds
The correct score market rewards you for precisely predicting the final scoreline. Because the number of possible outcomes is high, the odds tend to be generous. Our table lists some of the more popular scorelines and their prices.
A goalless draw is quoted at 40/1, reflecting the improbability of a stalemate given Newcastle’s attacking form and Qarabağ’s need to chase the tie.
When considering correct score bets, think about tactics and motivations: will Eddie Howe rotate his side and manage the game, or will he urge his players to entertain the home crowd? Will Qarabağ press high and leave themselves open? Each of these scenarios can lead to very different scorelines.
Because the margin for error is tiny, correct score betting is considered high risk but can deliver big rewards.
| 0–0 | Newcastle 1-0 | Newcastle 3-0 | Newcastle 3-1 |
| 40/1 | 11/2 | 13/2 | 9/1 |
