While Newcastle is expected to win against Qarabag, they’ll face significant pressure as the only English side seeking to progress further. The match will be a test for Newcastle head coach Eddie Howe, especially given that several first-team players will miss the game due to injury concerns. The Magpies need to remain focused if they wish to secure a place in the next phase of the tournament.
Newcastle’s adventure to the UEFA Champions League knockout rounds has seen them set to miss important players like Bruno Guimaraes and Fabian Schar, placing added responsibility on the shoulders of stars like Gordon and Barnes, who are both pivotal to their scoring efforts. Gordon aims to set the record as the all-time top scorer in Champions League history for the club.
