Estonia vs Azerbaijan Prediction and Betting Tips | October 11th 2024

Estonia and Azerbaijan return to action in the UEFA Nations League when they square off at the A. Le Coq Arena on Friday. Both sides have lost their opening two games in Group I and will head into the weekend looking to find their feet.

Estonia failed to get up and running in the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League campaign after they suffered a 3-0 defeat against Sweden in Solna on September 8.

This followed a 1-0 loss against Slovakia in the Group I curtain-raiser on September 5, when Tomas Suslov netted in the 70th minute to hand the Falcons an opening-day victory.

Estonia head into the weekend on a run of five straight competitive home defeats, stretching back to a 2-1 victory over Malta in the Nations League back in September 2022.

Like the hosts, Azerbaijan were left empty-handed for the second consecutive game in the Nations League as they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Slovakia on September 8.

Before that, Fernando Santos’ men kicked off the new campaign with a 3-1 defeat against Sweden when the two nations squared off at the Tofiq Bahramov Stadium on September 5.

Azerbaijan have lost all but one of their last five competitive matches, with a 3-0 victory over Sweden in the European Championship qualifiers in November 2023 being the exception.
