Azerbaijan takes on the visitors Czech Republic at “Baku Olympic Stadium” in the matchday nine Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Baku on Thursday, October 5th.
Azerbaijan has made a good start in the current qualifying cycle but then failed the middle of the campaign having lost four encounters in a row with 1-11 aggregated score. The recent 5:0 victory over San Marino is not much satisfying for the ambitious Caucasian team. After eight rounds played Azerbaijan occupies the third place in the standings with 10 points earned and 8-12 goal difference sitting behind Germany and Northern Ireland. The Azerbaijani team picked up six points with seven goals for and six goals against in four qualify clashes in front of its fans.

The Czechs collapsed in three recent matches of the qualifying stage and eventually lost any chances for promotion to the Mundial’s final stage after 0:0 draw against Norway, 1:2 defeat to Germany and 0:2 loss to Northern Ireland. The Czech team settles on the fourth position in the table with nine points gained and 10-9 goal difference. Czech Republic took four points with seven goals for and six goals against in four away games.
Azerbaijan and Czech Republic’s head-to-heads count for two encounters resulting in 2:0 victory of Azerbaijan and 0:0 draw. It’s 100% clear now that both teams won’t qualify for the final stage, therefore, the forthcoming battle is going to be a friendly one. Nevertheless, neither of the sides is set to lose as a triumph in it would mean a better place in the group table and consequently a higher position in future draws.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
