Azerbaijan vs France Predictions

• France have won five of their last six games (D1).
• France have four clean sheets in their last six.
• Azerbaijan have scored just two goals in total in their five qualifiers.

Routine win for qualified France

France head to Azerbaijan for a dead-rubber World Cup qualifier on Sunday, as the visitors have secured their spot at next summer’s showpiece and the hosts will finish bottom of Group D whatever the result.

Les Bleus could opt for wholesale changes on Sunday with nothing to play for, but even a weakened France side should have little trouble in seeing off Azerbaijan.

Backing the visitors to win to nil looks a reasonable option for our main bet due to their defensive strength and Azerbaijan’s tame attack.

The hosts drew a blank in Baku against Iceland on Thursday and they’ve managed just two goals in total across their five qualifiers, while France are on a six-game unbeaten run (W5, D1) and have four clean sheets during that period.

France won the reverse fixture 3-0 back in October and a repeat result could be on the cards here, as they have scored on average 2.6 goals per-game in qualifying and Azerbaijan have been conceding at the same rate.
