Our prediction for the match Azerbaijan vs Slovakia
“The Land of Fire” did not surprise with anything special in the previous cycle. All that happened in last year’s qualification was to get 7 points, mainly with Estonia, and take the penultimate place, just ahead of “the Balts”. “The Repre” finally showed themselves well, taking 2nd place in the group with Portugal – the team got 22 points in 10 matches. As for the Euro, the team, having started with a sensational victory over Belgium, was able to reach the play-offs. A new surprise could have been in the 1/8 finals, but Bellingham equalized literally in the last attack (with a kick over himself) and Kane brought England victory in the extra time.
Speaking about the Nations League, Calzona’s wards started with a minimal, but victory in Tallinn. “The Transcaucasians”, being already under the leadership of a new high-status foreign specialist, Fernando Santos, having played inconsistently in friendly matches, began the tournament with a home defeat with a 1-3 score to the Swedes. And then there was a head-to-head match, which the Slovaks confidently won in Kosice.
The Azerbaijanis are going through October, having returned Kryvotsiuk and Emreli to the team (the Portuguese coach did not believe in these performers earlier). Speaking about the battle of outsiders, they did not help with Estonia, losing with a 1-3 result. “The Repre” without Hrosovsky and Mak were arguing for the lead with the Swedes. And the team came back from a 0-2 score to a draw – Strelec scored a double.

The hosts have clearly “sunk”, and such an experienced opponent will take advantage of this. We expect a victory for the guests in Baku (odd: 1.76).
