Iceland vs Azerbaijan Prediction

Iceland Form

Showing inconsistent form, Iceland lost two of their past three matches, going down 2-1 against Kosovo, before beating Scotland 1-3. The joy was short-lived, as Northern Ireland proved too strong in a 1-0 defeat. Iceland only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent World Cup Qualification matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored nine and conceded nine goals.

Azerbaijan Form

Azerbaijan were only able to take a single draw from their past three games. They came up short in a 0-2 defeat against Belarus before drawing 0-0 with Latvia. They were defeated once again, when Hungary ran out 1-2 winners. Azerbaijan didn't manage a single away win in their last six World Cup Qualification matches, but managed one draws, while suffering five defeats. They conceded 14 and scored four goals themselves.

We'd be flabbergasted to see Iceland waste away a win against Azerbaijan, who could be in for a battering, the way goals have been flowing lately.
