Azerbaijan vs Luxembourg Predictions

• At least two thirds of both teams group games ended with at least three goals.
• Both teams scored in four of the last six H2H games.
• Azerbaijan kept just two clean sheets across their last ten home games.

Dead rubber, dull affair?

This World Cup Qualifying cycle has been nothing short of diabolical for Azerbaijan, who recorded at least one victory in five of the six cycles prior to this. Alas, the boys from Baku will not be making their debut at a World Cup finals this time around, but they will look to break a six-game winless streak to end on a high.

To Justify the tip selection, we must simply look at how weak both sides are home and away, respectively. Firstly, Azerbaijan conceded at least twice in seven of their last ten home games while conceding eight goals across their three home games in this qualifying campaign. We are backing their defensive woes to continue here as they may just switch off a little given that they will finish bottom regardless of the result here.

On the other hand, Luxembourg’s only away clean sheet across their last 16 tips came in a 1-0 victory against a toothless Ireland. Not only this, the visitors have nothing to play for apart from the prestige of finishing above Ireland. Finally, our score prediction is a rather boring 1-1 draw. With both sides having nothing to play for, expect them to play out a drab affair to give Luxembourg their first draw of the campaign in this penultimate fixture.
