Azerbaijan vs Belarus Predictions

• Azerbaijan failed to score in each of their last five internationals.
• Just one side scored in four of Belarus’ last five away internationals.
• Two of the last three H2H meetings produced under 1.5 match goals.

Back a low-scoring encounter in Baku

Yet another defeat on Friday night condemned Azerbaijan to a shocking run of 473 minutes without scoring a goal while also leaving them at the bottom of this Nations League group, staring directly down the barrel of relegation to league D.

Games involving Azerbaijan have rarely been exciting for the neutral either, with all five in 2021 producing two or fewer goals while four saw one or no sides score, suggesting that we may see more of the same in this encounter.

Belarus at least showed character in their comeback draw with Kazakhstan last time out (1-1), though a return of just two points from three games also leaves them in danger of the drop. With so much at stake, this could be a cagey encounter between two out-of-sorts nations.

A relegation six-pointer ensues

While there have been only five past meetings between these nations, three of those encounters produced one or no goals. We predict that this match will follow a similar suit and as such, we are going for an under 2.5 goals selection.

As for the correct score, we will ever so slightly side with Belarus to notch a 1-0 win and almost condemn Azerbaijan to relegation in the process.
