Azerbaijan vs Slovakia: Our top betting tips

Azerbaijan are on a woeful run of form. Can they find a way to take three points here? Find out with our Azerbaijan vs Slovakia match preview with free tips, predictions and odds mentioned along the way.

Slovakia to win

Azerbaijan have had an abysmal run of form over the past 12 months; they are winless in 12 games played in that timeframe, with three draws and nine losses. It gets worse: Azerbaijan have not been efficient when it comes to scoring goals; as they did not score a single goal in their last four games. On the other hand, Slovakia have done relatively better than Azerbaijan recently; they've won three of their last five games. Additionally, these teams met four times, and Slovakia won all four encounters. With this in mind, we're predicting a win for the visitors.

A game lacking goals

We've mentioned that Azerbaijan failed to score in their last four games; as a result of their lack of goals, Azerbaijan's games usually don't feature a lot of goals. In fact, all of Azerbaijan's last four games saw less than three goals scored, with a goal per game scored on average in that stretch. In the same vein, Slovakia kept three clean sheets in their last five games, whilst failing to score in two of those games; their last four games went below the 2.5 goal mark, with their last two games going under 1.5. All things considered, we shouldn't expect too many goals in this match.

Can Azerbaijan halt their winless run?

Morale in these two camps will be very different right now. Azerbaijan arrived in this Nations League group off the back of an awful run of form but they've not been able to take three points yet despite facing teams pooled at ‘a similar ranking'. Slovakia meanwhile will be looking to make it three wins from their last four and, depending on results elsewhere, could end the round top of group 3.

Azerbaijan's three match losing streak ended with a goalless draw against Belarus a couple of days ago; even though they were reduced to 10 men, Giovanni De Biasi's men managed to hold on for a point. It's important to note that Azerbaijan have no wins in their last 12 games across all competitions; they'll hope to halt that unwanted streak with a win today.

Azerbaijan Predicted lineup – Mahammadaliyev, Huseynov, Mustafazada, Haghverdi, Medvedev, Makhmudov, Silvestre, Almeida, Salahli, Dadasov, Sheydaev

Slovakia have had some mixed results the past few months; they've won three, drawn one and lost two of their last six games. Slovakia are second in group 3, three points behind group leaders Kazakhstan; they'll be eyeing all three points as they take on a struggling Azerbaijan side.

Slovakia Predicted lineup – Rodák, Koscelník, Gyömber, Škriniar, Chvatal, Lobotka, Schranz, Rusnák, Kucka, Weiss, Almási
