On 10 June 2022, Azerbaijan will face Slovakia in the third round of the UEFA Nations League at the Fadil Vokrri Stadium in Pristina.

Azerbaijan

Azerbaijan is a modest national side that has never in its history qualified for major international tournaments, finishing fifth in their group for the 2022 World Cup. Although playing in the UEFA Nations League is an excellent way to prepare for Euro 2024, the Fire Nation has not taken advantage of the opportunity. In their first game, they lost to Kazakhstan 0:2, then failed to do anything against Belarus (0:0).

Slovakia

Slovakia is a solid national side that occasionally makes it to major international tournaments. Stefan Tarkovic's side has not been very impressive so far. In the first game, they barely beat Belarus 1:0 and then sensationally lost on home soil to Kazakhstan 0:1. The Slovaks need to improve. Otherwise, they will be stuck in C-League.

Expert Betting Tips

Slovakia is the favorite in their UEFA Nations League quartet, but the Falcons have already suffered one setback, losing to Kazakhstan the day before. This defeat will have to motivate Stefan Tarkovic's side since they can no longer afford to lose any points. The Azerbaijani team has made a modest impression so far, so they are unlikely to take points away from a more ranked side, and you can bet on the Slovakian team to win at odds of around 1.80.

The Slovakia national team looks much stronger and more experienced than Azerbaijan, Belarus, and Kazakhstan, who should be smashing their opponents in all matches. In the first game, Stefan Tarkovic's charges beat the Belarus team with great difficulty (1:0) and then lost to the Kazakhs (0:1). We can't expect any sensational goals in the upcoming game, so we suggest betting on a total under 2 at odds of around 2.04.

The Slovakian side has severe attack problems, but Azerbaijan is in trouble offensively. In the first two meetings in the current UEFA Nations League, when their opponents were the modest Kazakhs and Belarusians, the Fire Nation failed to score a goal. Gianni De Biasi's men will face a tough Slovakian side, so they are not likely to be productive offensively either. In such a situation. We suggest betting on Azerbaijan's individual total under 0.5 goals at odds of about 2.11.
