Wednesday’s football tips: Take a shot at a 252/100 double as Newcastle battle Qarabag

Newcastle United's rollercoaster season rolls on to Azerbaijan tonight when they take on Qarabag in the UEFA Champions League play-offs.

The Magpies have been wildly unpredictable, with poor Premier League form compensated for by some good results in Europe and the domestic cups.

They claimed an excellent 3-1 win at Aston Villa in the FA Cup on Saturday but now face a tricky trip to Baku as they bid to march on in Europe.

Qarabag vs Newcastle United top betting tips

Qarabag have done well to reach the Champions League knockout stages and the point they got at home to Premier League giants Chelsea helped them get over the line.

But they were also thrashed 6-0 at Anfield while Ferencvaros and Ajax have both claimed wins in Baku this season.

That suggests Newcastle should be too strong and their best price for a win is just 4/9 at Betfred. That's pretty poor value but you can boost the odds to 5/4 at Coral by adding on under 3.5 goals.

Camilo Duran scored twice when Qarabag beat Eintracht Frankfurt at home so the Colombian looks decent value at 39/40 with Unibet for a shot on target.

Doubling that up with the same bet for Newcastle's Anthony Gordon boosts the odds to 252/100.

Wolverhampton Wanderers vs Arsenal

Arsenal have the chance to move seven points clear at the top of the Premier League tonight when they take on rock-bottom Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux.

This match was set to take place on the weekend of the Carabao Cup Final but has been moved forward because the Gunners will battle Manchester City for the silverware.

Mikel Arteta rested most of his big hitters for the weekend FA Cup win over Wigan so I'd imagine Arsenal will be close to full strength.

Declan Rice will be fresh after getting the day off on Sunday and he's 7/5 with Paddy Power to score or assist at Molineux.

The leaders are hot favourites at a best 3/10 but it's worth remembering they needed a stoppage-time winner to sink Wolves at the Emirates.

Areteta's side won 8-0 on the corner count that day so Arsenal -4 could be worth a punt in that handicap tonight at 11/10 with Bet365. The same firm also offer evens on over 9.5 match corners.

Aberdeen vs Motherwell

There's Scottish Cup action tonight as well as Aberdeen host Motherwell in the second leg of their double-header.

The Steelmen dished out a 2-0 defeat at Fir Park in the Premiership on Sunday to make it just one loss in their last 17 games.

Jens Berthel Askou's side are playing some of the best football in Scotland but will they come stuck on a Pittodrie pitch that has been battered by heavy rain?

Three matches have been called off in recent weeks so this could turn into a war of attrition and the Dons look a bit too big at 23/10 with Bet365 as they have home advantage.

I'd be surprised if we saw a lot of goals and under 2.5 strikes pays 9/10 at BetMGM. The half-time draw offers more value at 5/4 with the same firm.
