Kazakhstan to win
We begin our Azerbaijan vs Kazakhstan predictions by backing Kazakhstan to win the match. As it happens both teams arrive here in decent form with both having won each of their last two matches. Despite that, a look over a slightly longer period shows exactly why we fancy Magomed Adiev's men to win; they've not only earned qualification out of this Nations League group without suffering defeat but their general form in all competitions now reads as no defeat in eight with six wins chalked up in that spell. Azerbaijan by contrast have won each of their last two but prior to that they'd gone 13 without a win having suffered 10 defeats in that time. Combine those facts with a head to head record that shows Kazakhstan have won each of the last three clashes (and four of the last five) and there is little evidence that Azerbaijan are about to collect three points.
Goals won't rain down
Our second prediction for this match is that it will be a low scoring affair and, by that, we mean it will go under 2.5 total goals. Azerbaijan have gone under that 2.5 threshold in four of their last five matches totalling just eight goals – that's an average of 1.6 per match. Kazakhstan meanwhile have seen three of their last five go under 2.5 goals with 11 goals seen; that's just 2.2 per match. Those stats combined with two of the last three head to head matches going under 2.5 is good enough for us!

Group winners to sign off with a win
The biggest challenge to Kazakhstan in this group came from Azerbaijan but, ultimately, it proved too little too late with the table toppers now aiming to complete an unbeaten campaign; that's something that would be a remarkable achievement for them especially considering they've won all but one of their games to this point. For Azerbaijan, this game is all about them putting down a marker for what they can do moving forwards.
Azerbaijan need to forget this match won't mean anything and focus on building momentum; they've won their last two games and another positive result here would be huge for a side that has become too used to losing.

What a campaign Kazakhstan have had during this Nations League. After putting together a great run of form they can now look forward to moving forwards and challenging themselves further – what better way to start than by putting out a full strength team to face an Azerbaijan side that have won their last two.
