As part of the qualifying tournament for the 2024 European Championship, a match between the national teams of Azerbaijan and Sweden will take place on November 16, 2023. Quite predictably, the home team did not make it to the main tournament, but under certain circumstances they can rise above the Swedes in the standings.
Azerbaijan
At the moment, this team, modest by European standards, ranks fourth in the group with four points after six matches. The only team performing worse than them is the Estonian team, which the Azerbaijanis, by the way, beat.
Azerbaijan, despite its low position in the group, performed well against the leaders - Belgium (0:1) and Austria (0:1).
In the first match against Sweden they were defeated with a score of 0:5, which may be a reason for additional motivation.
Sweden
For the Swedish team, this qualifying tournament was a complete disappointment, as they lost even their theoretical chances of reaching the finals of the European Championship.
Their only chance was against Austria in the fight for second place, but the Swedes lost both games.
They are nine points behind Austria heading into their last two matches.
Interesting facts and match forecast
In all three previous meetings between these teams, the Swedish national team players celebrated their victory. In the latest FIFA rankings, Azerbaijan is in 120th place, and Sweden is in 23rd.
It is unlikely that the teams will strain themselves in an away game against a modest opponent, and in general the composition will be experimental. It seems to me that with such a game, teams are able to achieve a total of more than 2.5 goals.
