Slovakia vs Azerbaijan Prediction: 8/9/2024

Azerbaijan enters this fixture in poor form, having picked up only two points from their last 22 possible in the UEFA Nations League. Meanwhile, Slovakia is riding high, remaining unbeaten in their last 13 Süper Lig matches and winning four of their previous five home games.

Low-scoring affairs have been the norm for Slovakia in recent home matches at this level, with all of their last 21 games, including the most recent ten, featuring under 3.5 goals. Similarly, 19 of Azerbaijan’s last 21 away fixtures in the competition have seen no more than three goals scored.

Defensively, Azerbaijan has been solid in their last six UEFA Nations League matches, conceding only once while amassing 17 points from a possible 18. Additionally, both teams have scored in only one of Slovakia’s last nine league games, so a deviation from this trend would be unexpected.

 

Prediction

Slovakia remains one of the teams in contention for the UEFA Nations League title, thanks to a run of seven consecutive victories, including a recent win against fierce rivals. In contrast, Azerbaijan has struggled in this competition, losing four of their last five away games.

Prediction: Slovakia 2-0 Azerbaijan
