In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 6 matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 6 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 6 of the last 13 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 9 out of 13 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first.

In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have only turned the score around in 1. In the last 13 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have scored 3 of their 7 goals between minutes (16'‑30').

Azerbaijan go into this match demotivated after a 3-0 defeat to the Republic of Ireland, their second consecutive loss in this qualifying campaign. Although they are a team that likes to play in midfield, they can also easily get forward on the counter-attack. Central midfielder Emin Mahmudov is the team's top scorer with 3 goals. Coach Giovanni De Biasi can count on all his players.
