Azerbaijan vs Sweden Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 5th September 2024
Azerbaijan take on Sweden at Tofiq Bakhramov Stadium, where an exciting match should be on the cards on Thursday. It is one of the matches in round one of the group phase of the UEFA Nations League this season. Sweden were knocked out cold when Azerbaijan took a 3-0 win in their latest encounter. It served as pay back for the 5-0 defeat, Sweden handed out in the game before.
Azerbaijan arrive at this match placed as number 111 in the FIFA world ranking, while Sweden lack behind as number 29 in the world.
It has the look of a very equal affair, when Azerbaijan welcome Sweden this coming Thursday. Securing three points in such a tough encounter could lay the groundworks for reaching the next stage, but it is a tough one to call.
Azerbaijan are not a high scoring team these days, as they only found the back of the net seven times in the last ten outings. That is an average of just 0.7 goals per game, as they conceded six goals. They managed six clean sheets in these matches.
Heading into their opening UEFA Nations League group match Sweden should be capable of dismissing the resistance from Azerbaijan. Sweden will attempt to get through the group stages effortlessly, thus dropping points here is not on the agenda.
Azerbaijan vs Sweden Prediction
Azerbaijan Form
Azerbaijan hope for some consistency, as their fans saw their team win, lose and draw in their last three matches. A close game with Bulgaria resulted in a 1-1 draw, followed by a 3-1 defeat against Albania, before beating Kazakhstan by 3-2. Azerbaijan won three of their previous six internationals. They drew one and lost two, scoring nine goals to 11 against.
Sweden Form
Sweden have only one win in their last three matches, as they did beat Albania by 1-0. Disappointment followed, going down 2-1 against Denmark, and 0-3 against Serbia. Sweden won half their previous six internationals, as well as seeing zero draws and suffering three defeats. They scored eight goals whilst conceding 11.
Azerbaijan don't score many goals but, they are equally tough to crack down. This makes for a low scoring match, when Sweden come visiting this coming Thursday.
