Ukraine vs Azerbaijan Prediction & Tips
Ukraine continues to hold on tightly to the play-off zone, occupying second place in Group D. The 5-3 away win against Iceland was an important step in consolidating their position at the top of the table. Serhiy Rebrov’s team shows real character, but still makes too many avoidable defensive errors. Against the bottom team in the group, it will be essential to play with the utmost concentration to avoid repeating the mistakes of the first leg.
Azerbaijan goes into this match as the main outsider in the group. Ayhan Abbasov’s men have taken just one point – against Ukraine (1-1). In their other matches, the team has suffered heavy defeats, conceding three or more goals each time. Their winless streak in World Cup qualifying now stands at 13 games, symptomatic of structural problems in both defence and attack.
