Azerbaijan and Belgium will face off in the MatchDay 5 of the UEFA European Championship Qualifying.
Belgium is expected to have numerous opportunities on goal and capitalize on them.
On the other hand, Azerbaijan might struggle to find the back of the net, but there is a reasonable likelihood that they will pose a threat during certain phases of the game.
Azerbaijan enters this match following a 1-1 draw against Estonia in the Euro – Qualifiers.
In recent times, it has been rare for Azerbaijan to maintain a solid defense for the entire 90 minutes. The fact remains that Azerbaijan’s defense has been penetrated in 5 out of their last 6 matches, conceding 12 goals in the process. However, it’s possible that this trend may not continue in the upcoming game.
Azerbaijan’s manager, Gianni De Biasi, is fortunate to have a fully fit squad without any injury concerns ahead of this match.
