Azerbaijan vs Ukraine Predictions

• Azerbaijan have lost nine of their last 11 matches, conceding twice in each of those defeats
• The hosts have let in 29 goals across their previous 11 games
• Ukraine have scored twice in four of their last six matches

Hosts look too vulnerable

Ukraine lost their opening World Cup qualifier, but they offered plenty of attacking threat in their clash with France. Despite losing 2-0 on neutral soil, Ukraine generated 1.34 Expected Goals, offering a stern test to one of the strongest sides in Europe.

Their fixture on Tuesday is a much different test, as Ukraine visit an Azerbaijan side who are in woeful form. The hosts have lost nine of their last 11 fixtures, sharing goalless draws with Estonia and Latvia in that time.

Azerbaijan have conceded 29 goals across those nine defeats, including 3-1 reverses at home against Sweden and Slovakia. Their qualifying campaign opened with a 5-0 hammering against Iceland, so Ukraine should cause them problems.

The hosts have conceded at least twice in each of those nine losses, while Ukraine have scored two or more goals in four of their last six matches, only falling short against France and Belgium.

The visitors should prove too strong for the struggling hosts, so they’re well-priced to score two or more goals and extend Azerbaijan’s defensive issues.
