Azerbaijan vs Sweden Prediction: 5/9/2024

Before their upcoming match, Azerbaijan has been struggling at home, with a poor record of three draws and six losses in their last nine top-flight games. This makes the prospect of facing Sweden, the defending champions, particularly challenging. Although Sweden has not been as dominant as in the past, they have still managed to secure four wins in their last seven UEFA Nations League away matches.

In recent games, Azerbaijan has been involved in high-scoring affairs, with over 2.5 goals being scored in 14 of their last 17 UEFA Nations League matches, including a 3-0 loss to Sweden. Similarly, Sweden’s games have been equally entertaining, with all of their last 14 matches at this level featuring at least three goals.

Azerbaijan’s home matches have also seen plenty of action at both ends, with both teams scoring in six of their last nine home fixtures in the UEFA Nations League. The team has managed to find the net in nine of their last 14 away games at this level as well.

 

Prediction

When it comes to goalless draws, they have been a rarity for Azerbaijan in the UEFA Nations League, with only one of their last 21 matches ending without a goal. Sweden has also consistently seen goals in their matches, with their last 24 league games all featuring at least one goal.

Prediction: Given these trends, the prediction for this match is a closely contested game, with Sweden likely to edge out a 2-1 victory over Azerbaijan.
