Azerbaijan vs Estonia Prediction and Betting Tips | November 16th 2024
Azerbaijan and Estonia return to action in Group C1 of the UEFA Nations League when they lock horns at the Gabala City Stadium on Saturday. Fernando Santos’ men are one of just six sides yet to taste victory in the campaign and will head into the weekend looking to end this dire run.
Azerbaijan failed to stop the rot in the 2024 Nations League as they fell to a 3-1 defeat against Slovakia at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium on October 14.
Santos’ men have lost their four games in Group C1, conceding 11 goals and scoring three to sit rock-bottom in the standings heading into the final tie games. Azerbaijan are 118th in the latest FIFA World Rankings, six spots above this weekend’s visitors.
Estonia, on the other hand, were sent back down to earth in the Nations League last time out when they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Sweden at the A. Le Coq Arena.
Before that, Jurgen Henn's men kicked off the campaign with back-to-back losses against Slovakia and Sweden in September, before claiming a 3-1 victory over Azerbaijan in Tallinn on October 11.
With three points from a possible 12, Estonia are currently third in the Group C1 standings, seven points adrift of second-placed Slovakia.
Azerbaijan vs Estonia Head-To-Head and Key Numbers
