Match Preview

Newcastle United welcome Azerbaijani champions Qarabağ to Tyneside with one foot already in the Champions League Round of 16. The first leg in Baku was a masterclass in clinical finishing, as the Magpies dismantled the "Horsemen" 6–1. For Qarabağ, the mission is no longer about qualification—which would require the greatest comeback in European history—but about salvaging pride and stemming a defensive leak that has seen them concede 12 goals in their last two European outings.

Eddie Howe's men are in a luxurious position. The five-goal cushion allows for significant rotation ahead of a busy Premier League run, yet the lure of club history remains. A two-goal margin on Tuesday would see Qarabağ break the record for the most goals conceded in a single Champions League season. 

Coach Gurban Gurbanov was candid after the first leg, admitting Newcastle’s style simply "does not suit" his side. Qarabağ’s tendency for open, high-scoring matches has been their undoing against elite opposition, having also suffered a 6–0 defeat to Liverpool recently.

How to watch on the Big Screen

Watching on your phone or laptop is fine, but live sports belongs on the big screen. Here is how to get the VPN working on your TV:

• Smart TVs & Fire Stick: Most Android-based TVs and devices like the Amazon Fire TV Stick or Google Chromecast with Google TV have native VPN apps. Simply search for your VPN provider in the app store on your TV, log in, and connect just like you would on your phone.
• Apple TV, Roku & Consoles: These devices often don't support direct VPN apps. The easiest workaround is to use Smart DNS (usually found in your VPN account settings) or Mirror/Cast the stream from your VPN-connected phone or laptop to your TV.
