Sweden vs Azerbaijan Prediction: Zlatan is Back and That's Bad News

Prediction for the Sweden vs Azerbaijan Euro 2024 qualifyer, which will take place on March 27th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Sweden is a regular participant in the championship. The last time they missed such a tournament was back in 1996. After that, they steadily managed to qualify each time. But they might have severe problems in this qualifier, as they suffered a heavy defeat, 0:3, against Belgium in the opening game, given that their quintet also includes sturdy Austria. There are only two places for the tournament in Germany; the situation looks difficult. Another issue is the return of Zlatan to the Swedish squad. He even led AC Milan to the title, let alone the national team.

Azerbaijan is a consistent underdog in all qualifiers and has never made it to the international cups. Sometimes they perform a little better, sometimes worse, but they always keep their average level. In Euro-2024, Gianni De Biasi's charges got off to a weak start, losing away to Austria, 1:4. The only goal for Azerbaijan was scored by Emin Makhmudov, the main star of the team.

The opponents are of quite different levels of skill and ambition. The Yellows and Blues always qualify for the continental championships easily. So now we expect something similar, even though they started with an unpleasant defeat from Belgium, 0:3. The Azerbaijanis have more modest results. They are consistently among the outsiders in qualifiers, so they won't stop their opponent from earning three points in the upcoming battle. 

If we only expect the Swedish to win by at least three goals, the TO is simply a done deal. Looking at their offense, we find such stars of world soccer as Dejan Kulusevski, Alexander Isak, and Zlatan. Such a gang must send a few goals, but still, Azerbaijan, in the last match, scored a goal of prestige.
