Azerbaijan vs Kazakhstan Prediction

After a slow start to the campaign, Azerbaijan have hit their stride, winning their last two group games. However, they face a rampant Kazakhstan side who have dropped just two points so far. We are backing Kazakhstan to come away with all three points and extend their dominance over the hosts.
