Our prediction for the match Azerbaijan vs Sweden
“The Land of Fire” is not particularly valued in football, with the caveat at the national team level. Qarabag has already created a fairly serious reputation for itself in the European competitions in the club format. The national team can be happy only with the fact that it is in the League C of the Nations League, even when it is failing the qualifications. Still, it is reasonable to mention that the previous qualification brought 7 points, mainly in the games against Estonia, which was overtaken. “The Scandinavians” disappointed even against the backdrop of not qualifying for the World Cup, being not even close to competing with Belgium and Austria, and taking only 10 points.
Both teams replaced coaches in 2024. Tomasson, who had worked successfully here, but with Malmö, returned to Sweden. And the specialist managed to lose 3 times in 4 test matches. As for the team from Baku, it again lured a high-status, but past his prime foreign specialist, Fernando Santos. And the Portuguese mentor will debut in his new position on Thursday.
The Swedes cannot count on Quaison – the famous forward was left without a club at the age of 30 years old. Lindelof, Olsen, Krafth, Forsberg, Thelin were not taken according to the decision of the coach. The hosts again have no place for Emreli, who plays in Nuremberg.
Azerbaijan vs Sweden: possible starting line-ups
Azerbaijan (possible line-up): Mahammadaliyev – Bayramov, Huseynov, Kryvotsiuk, Seydiyev, Jafarguliyev – Isayev, Mahmudov, Jamalov – Dadashov, Sheydayev.
