Newcastle won the first leg against FK Qarabag 6-1, so qualification to the Champions League Round of 16 is sealed.
Anthony Gordon and his four goals were the main talking point after the game in Azerbaijan. I'm counting on another solid performance from the record-breaking Englishman at St. James' Park.
Here are my Newcastle vs. FK Qarabag predictions and free betting picks for Tuesday, February 24.

My Newcastle vs FK Qarabag best bet: Anthony Gordon anytime goal (-141 at Sports Interaction)
In Baku last week, Newcastle striker Anthony Gordon became the second player in Champions League history to score four goals in the first half of a match and the first to do so in the knockout phase.
His goals helped Newcastle take full control and win the game 6-1.
Gordon has netted 10 goals in 15 appearances in the UEFA Champions League this season. He is the second-quickest English player to reach double figures in the competition, behind only England captain Harry Kane (12 appearances).

Newcastle vs FK Qarabag same-game parlay (SGP)
Anthony Gordon anytime goal
Over 2.5 cards
Abdellah Zoubir 1+ shots on target
Newcastle will try to stay away from trouble, but for Qarabag, there’s little to lose in this match. They will do their best to save face after last week’s defeat.
The Azerbaijan side will try to show that they didn’t reach the Top 24 of the Champions League by accident. They will put up a tough fight, and that can easily lead to cards.
To get my parlay to a nice +825 return, I’m counting on another performance from Abdellah Zoubir, who provided the assist for Qarabag’s only goal in Baku.
Zoubir is the type of player who immediately catches your eye during a match. In the domestic league, he has 10 goal contributions in 18 matches so far. In the Champions League, he’s scored twice with four assists.
