Visitors to leave with minimum of a point
Things have not gone too well for Azerbaijan over the past year; they haven't won any of their last 13 games, with three draws and 10 losses. It's even more concerning because Azerbaijan did not register a goal in their last five games. In comparison, Belarus have enjoyed relatively better form than Azerbaijan; they suffered just one loss in their last six games, with three wins and two draws. Considering the form of both teams, we believe that Belarus should be able to take at least one point from this match.
Someone's blanking
We've mentioned that Azerbaijan failed to score in their last five games; to be fair, they haven't conceded a lot of goals either. As a matter of fact, Azerbaijan allowed exactly one goal per game on average in their last five games. Because of their lack of goals, Azerbaijan's games don't usually feature goals at both ends; at least one side blanked in all of their last five games. In the same vein, Belarus have done fairly well defensively; they kept four clean sheets in their last six games, with just two goals conceded in that six-game stretch. Just like Azerbaijan, Belarus's games are usually one-sided in goal scoring terms; as one side failed to score in eight of their last 10 games. On that note, we shouldn't expect goals at both ends.

Will the winless streak end for one of these nations?
We're three games deep into the Nations League now and neither of these teams have managed to muster up a victory including having played out a 0-0 draw against each other. Will either find a way to record their first three points of the campaign as they do battle again?
Azerbaijan have struggled a lot over the past 12 months; they are without a win in their last 13 games in all competitions, with three draws and 10 losses. As a matter of fact, Azerbaijan did not score a single goal in their last five games; they'll hope for a better result as Belarus come calling.
Azerbaijan Predicted lineup – Mahammadaliyev, Huseynov, Mustafazada, Haghverdi, Medvedev, Makhmudov, Silvestre, Almeida, Salahli, Dadasov, Sheydaev
Belarus have had a fairly decent run of form recently; they've lost just once in their last six games, with three wins and two draws. However, it's fair to point out that Belarus have no wins in their last three games; they'll look to get back to winning ways by beating a struggling Azerbaijan side.
Belarus Predicted lineup – Pavlyuchenko, Khadarkevich, Politevich, Volkov, Nechaev, Yablonski, Bocherov, Shevchenko, Bykov, Solovei, Malkevich
