Ahead of their next fixture, Azerbaijan is facing a tough challenge, having recorded only three draws and six defeats in their last nine top-flight home games.
This form sets a daunting stage for their match against Sweden, the current champions. While Sweden hasn’t been as overpowering as before, they still boast a respectable record of four wins in their last seven UEFA Nations League away matches.
Azerbaijan’s recent matches have generally been high-scoring, with 14 of their last 17 UEFA Nations League games witnessing over 2.5 goals, including a 3-0 defeat to Sweden. Sweden’s recent fixtures have been similarly goal-laden, with each of their last 14 matches in the competition seeing at least three goals scored.
At home, Azerbaijan’s games have frequently seen goals from both teams, with both teams scoring in six of their last nine UEFA Nations League home games. Additionally, they have managed to score in nine of their last 14 away games in the league.
Prediction
Goalless games are quite uncommon for Azerbaijan in the UEFA Nations League, with just one of their last 21 matches ending without any goals. Similarly, Sweden’s matches have consistently featured scoring, with not a single one of their last 24 league games ending goal-free.
Prediction: Considering these patterns, the match is expected to be competitive, but Sweden is likely to secure a narrow 2-1 victory over Azerbaijan.
