Our Prediction for the Match Sweden vs Azerbaijan
Tre Kronor were regular participants in the playoffs of various tournaments, including Euro 2020. However, the national team experienced a sharp decline afterward. The previous qualification campaign was disappointing: just ten points from eight games, trailing far behind Belgium and Austria in the group. The Land of Fire was no better, earning three fewer points and only managing to surpass Estonia.
In Baku, another prominent coach, Fernando Santos, took charge. While friendly matches brought some positive results, in the Nations League, his team couldn’t even secure a draw in either September or October. In the last round, they finally managed a 0-0 draw against Estonia at home, sealing their place at the bottom of the table.
Sweden, coached by Tomasson—now at the helm of the national team rather than Malmö—has firmly established itself among the group’s leaders. They didn’t drop points against the weaker teams, Azerbaijan and Estonia, and battled Slovakia for first place. In October, they drew 2-2 away, but at home, thanks to the interplay between Djokeres and Isak, they secured a crucial 2-1 victory.
