The Albanian team has never made it to the World Cup but has occasionally reached the European Championship. For the first time, the Eagles played in the finals of Euro 2016 but failed to go past the group stage. And now they have a second chance to make their mark. In qualifying, they found themselves in a very evenly matched group with the Czech Republic, Poland, Moldova, and the Faroe Islands, which did not prevent them from leading it. At Euro 2024, they will be in a quartet with Italy, Spain, and Croatia, making it difficult to expect them in a playoff. Azerbaijan have already played a friendly match in June, beating Liechtenstein 3-0.
Azerbaijan
The Azerbaijan team has never made it to major international tournaments. From time to time, they have shown good results but have not come close to the ultimate success. In the qualifiers for Euro 2024, the team ended up in a group with Belgium, Austria, Sweden, and Estonia. They performed well by their standards and finished fourth, which was not good enough for a trip to Germany. Arif Asadov's men played their last two games in March when they first beat Mongolia 1:0 and then drew 1:1 with Bulgaria.
Expert Betting Tips
Albania is participating in Euro 2024. The Reds and Blacks must be ready for such a severe resistance level. Compared to the favorites, the national team of Azerbaijan is much weaker, which the Eagles must take advantage of in the upcoming battle. This match will be a test game, but Silvinho's charges need to win to boost their morale and strengthen confidence.
We do not expect the upcoming confrontation to be eventful. The national teams have met five times, scoring only eight goals (1.60 average per game). In addition, the two sides have only exchanged goals once in the last eight matches, while the Azerbaijanis have scored and conceded in just one of the previous six encounters.
