Recommended bet: Newcastle to win to nil
Newcastle boss Eddie Howe can rotate his squad at home against Qarabag safe in the knowledge his side have almost certainly already booked their last-16 spot in the Champions League.
Last week's 6-1 win in Azerbaijan means the second leg at St James' Park is nothing more than a formality with the Magpies expected to enjoy themselves again with the pressure off.

Prediction
Newcastle got the job done in Baku in the first leg, so Howe will be able to rest some key men for the return game at home as he looks forward to a big last-16 tie in Europe's premier club competition.
The convincing win at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium illustrated the gulf in class between the Azerbaijan champions and Premier League clubs and, even though Newcastle do not need to win at St James' Park, a home success still looks likely.
Qarabag were also hammered 6-0 by Liverpool on their last visit to England and Howe's men should secure a comfortable victory with the added bonus of a clean sheet to boost their confidence further for the rest of the knockout stages.
