Azerbaijan vs Sweden Prediction & Betting Tips - UEFA Nations League
by Ian John | in UEFA Nations League Predictions
Azerbaijan host Sweden in the first Nations League Group C1 match of the new campaign. Portuguese head coach Fernando Santos has the Milli Komanda in excellent form at home. They will provide a combative test for Jon Dahl Tomasson's Blagult in what will be a competitive opening match for the two teams. What will our prediction make of the chances for either team to kick off the competition with a win?
Azerbaijan's only defeats in their last eleven matches have come against Belgium (twice), Austria and most recently Albania. They are unbeaten in their last four home games, winning three and that includes a 3-0 victory over today's opponents back in the Euro 2024 qualifiers in November 2023.
Neftchi Baku duo, midfielder and national skipper Emin Mahmudov and striker Ramil Sheydayev, are Azerbaijan's most influential players and the main goalscoring threats for the home side.
Sweden boasts a youthful squad, with just three players aged 30 or over. Five of their seven midfielders have six caps or fewer, and just six players have 20 caps or more. Their current form is poor by their usual standards, and they were relegated from League B in the last Nations League tournament.
Premier League trio Alexander Isak (Newcastle), Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest), Dejan Kulusevski (Tottenham), and Sporting Lisbon striker Viktor Gyokeres will be the Swedes main attacking threats. Experienced Anderlecht center-back Ludwig Augustinsson will likely anchor what is likely to be a defensive back five.

Our Azerbaijan vs Sweden Prediction
Our prediction for Azerbaijan vs. Sweden in the Nations League Group C1 is: Both Teams to Score and Either Team to Win.
We've gone for an unusual market for this fixture with somewhat contradictory data. Sweden are the hot favorites with bookmakers, but their recent form is poor, especially away from home. That includes a 3-0 loss to Azerbaijan, whose recent form, especially at home, is excellent. With both teams looking likely to score, the problem was picking a winner, hence our solution was to back either of the two teams to win the game alongside both scoring.
