Sweden vs Azerbaijan Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the Euro Cup Qualifiers on Monday, 27 March 2023.
Sweden shocked their fans by not qualifying it to the 2022 World Cup race. They lost the spot to Poland, who made it till the round of 16. Going on, Sweden played a set of friendlies and Nation League fixtures. They are on a four-match winning streak at the moment.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan have also been playing a set of friendlies and Nation League fixtures post the World Cup Qualifiers. They are on a five-match winning streak at the moment.
They have met just twice in the past. Sweden won both the fixtures.
Both the meetings were from the World Cup Qualifiers for the 2002 season.
The current home form of the Swedish side looks decent enough. They are on a four-match unbeaten streak and have won three in the process. Against a team like Azerbaijan, their stats count much for sure.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is also having a four-match unbeaten streak on the road. But it is worth noting that their opponents were teams like Moldova, Belarus, Slovakia etc.
Moreover, Sweden won all their meetings with Azerbaijan in the past. Therefore, we expect a win for Sweden on Monday.
Sweden have scored two goals each in their past three home matches against teams like Iceland, Finland and Algeria. They could be able to score the same here against this Azerbaijan outfits.
However, the offensive side of Azerbaijan have been consistent too of late. In that case, over 2.5 goals is likely to land in this match.
Sweden have allowed three goals over the course of their past five home matches. Their opponents in those matches have a much weak form than Azerbaijan at the moment. Thus, we expect this match to have goals from both teams.
The bookmakers see the hosts as pretty big favorites, pricing them at just 1.12 odds to claim the win here. We don’t expect Sweden to have such an easy task on Monday considering all these observations.
However, we like to place a 2-1 win for Sweden as the main betting pick for this match at 10.00 odds. For the second tip, we like to place the over 2.5 goals option at 1.65 odds.
