Ukraine vs Azerbaijan predictions: Goals at both ends
Key stats
- Both teams were on the scoresheet in eight of Ukraine's last 10 matches across all competitions.
- Azerbaijan are currently on a 13-game winless streak across all competitions.
- There were fewer than 11 corners in six of Ukraine's last seven matches.
Correct score prediction: Ukraine 3-1 Azerbaijan
Azerbaijan have no wins in three FIFA World Cup qualifying games so far (D1, L2), scoring only once while conceding nine times. They have also never beaten Ukraine, with their only other away game in this fixture ending in a humiliating 6-0 defeat.
Keeping in mind that Azerbaijan lost 10 of their last 13 matches across all competitions, we are confident that Ukraine will claim all the spoils after 90 minutes.

Most recent H2Hs: Ukraine have bragging rights
There have been three previous clashes between these sides, and Ukraine won one of them, with the other two ending in stalemates.
Ukraine preview: No Sudakov, no problem?
Georgiy Sudakov was substituted just before half-time for an injury during Ukraine's heavy win over Iceland, and the Benfica midfielder is expected to be out of this clash, with Nazar Voloshyn likely to take his place.
Vladyslav Vanat played 70 minutes against Iceland but was unable to get on the scoresheet, with Artem Dovbyk coming on to replace the Girona forward. For this game, it remains to be seen which striker the manager will decide to begin with.
Predicted lineup: Trubin (GK), Konoplya, Zabarnyi, Matviienko, Myklolenko, Gutsulyak, Kalliuzhnyi, Shaparenko, Malinovskyi, Sudakov & Vanat.
Last five matches
- Iceland 3-5 Ukraine

Azerbaijan preview: Hoping to halt their unwanted streak
Azerbaijan are coming off a 3-0 loss against France, leaving them bottom of Group D with just one point after three games.
The visitors will look to earn their first win on the road in the qualifiers, but they will have to do it without midfielder Abdulakh Khaybulaev, who sustained an injury in the defeat to France last Friday. Aside from this, we don't expect much to change from the starting XI.
Predicted lineup: Mahammadaliev (GK), Aliyev, Babalov, Mustafazada, Krivotsyuk, Cafarquliyev, Bayramov, Khachayev, Mahmudov, Ahmadzada & Emreli.
Last five matches
- France 3-0 Azerbaijan
- Azerbaijan 1-1 Ukraine

- Latvia 0-0 Azerbaijan
Player to watch: Ruslan Malinovskyi
