Azerbaijan vs Austria Predictions

• Austria can book their place at Euro 2024 with a win.
• Azerbaijan ended a 17-game winless run in Euro qualifiers by beating Estonia.
• Austria won the reverse fixture 4-1.

Austria on the verge

Austria slipped to a 3-2 defeat to Belgium on Friday but remain on course to reach Euro 2024 and they could qualify in Azerbaijan on Monday.

A win would guarantee a place in Germany for Austria and they may still wrap up qualification even if they are beaten, depending on results elsewhere.

Handicap markets appeal

Austria go into the game as heavy favourites and as they won the reverse fixture 4-1 backing the visitors to cover a -1 handicap looks a good starting point for our main bet,

The hosts have conceded 11 goals and scored just four themselves during this qualification campaign, losing 5-0 to Sweden and 4-1 to the visitors. Azerbaijan do tend to fare better at home but Austria usually impress when they win – with eight of their last 10 victories coming by two or more goals.

Hosts may get on the scoresheet

Austria have only managed one clean sheet in their last seven games and Azerbaijan have scored in four of their last five home fixtures. That suggests we may see goals at both ends, and a 3-1 win for the visitors is the correct score precision.
