Azerbaijan vs Sweden Prediction

A one-point return from the last two games against Austria and Belgium has shockingly eliminated Sweden from the race for the 2024 European Championship.

Blagult are nine points below second-placed Austria with a game in hand but also only two matches left to play, meaning they have lost all mathematical chances to feature in the major competition next year.

Since Sweden also don’t have the right to feature in the playoffs, head coach Janne Andersson will find it very difficult to motivate his lads in the remaining two qualifying fixtures.

The first one is on schedule on Thursday evening when Sweden visit Baku in the match against Azerbaijan.

The visitors are still labeled as heavy favorites going into the tie but we struggle to find value in the 1.45 odds offered for their win based on their recent displays and the lack of proper motivation.

Azerbaijan are anything but force in football but they have managed to limit the likes of Austria and Belgium to just a single goal scored in their previous visits to Baku.

Latest Meetings

Sweden have won all three previous clashes against Azerbaijan.

The run includes this year’s 5-0 drubbing on Swedish soil back in March.

Azerbaijan are yet to score their maiden goal against Sweden.

The Verdict

Both teams have already been eliminated and although Sweden possess much more quality in their ranks, we don’t see the value in backing the away win pick at the 1.45 odds.

Instead, we will opt for the Under 2.5 goals FT as the main bet at the 1.90 odds while the braver punters can take Azerbaijan to win or draw pick at the 2.62 odds.
