Azerbaijan hosts Luxembourg in round 1 of the UEFA Nations League C. The match will be played on Saturday, September 5th at Baku Olympic Stadium (Baku)
The Azerbaijan national team is a typical supplier of points in all qualifying rounds for the European and World Championships. But in the last Nations League, it took 2nd place in the 3rd group in League D. Truth be told, it played against Malta, the Faroe Islands and Kosovo, which became the winner. Exclusively aborigines staff the team. If we speak about the legionnaires, there is only Dadashov, who belongs to the English Wolverhampton. Last season he played in Portugal for Pacos de Ferreira. In the last 16 matches, Azerbaijan gained only one victory over Bahrain and lost in eight cases.

In the last Nations League, Luxembourg took 2nd place in the second group of League D, where it played against Belarus, Moldova and San Marino. By the way, the team gained 12 points there. However, it lost in the last eight matches. Nevertheless, these games were held in the qualification for the Euro, and Luxembourg played against Ukraine, Portugal, and Serbia, so everything was deserved. But before that qualification, there was clear progress in the results of the Red Lions. Luxembourg gained victories over San Marino, Lithuania, Moldova, Malta, Georgia, Belarus and even Hungary. And it tied with Bulgaria and Senegal. The players of the Luxembourg national team play in Swedish Norrkoping and Portuguese Gil Vicente, Greek OFI and Russian Ufa, English Norwich and Swiss Young Boys, French Metz and German Karlsruher, FC Koln and Mainz. And forward Rodriguez is almost the main forward of Dynamo Kyiv.
It is becoming more and more difficult to play against Luxembourg for the teams, which are much more experienced and qualified teams than Azerbaijan. For example, Ukraine, which won the Euro group, scored the winning goal in the first match against Luxembourg only in the 94th minute, and even then there was an own goal. The Serbs beat the Red Lions with a 3-2 score. Northern Ireland also beat Luxembourg in a friendly match with a minimum score, and only due to an own goal. Azerbaijan couldn’t even score in the last three matches. The rivals met three times. Two last matches did not reveal the winner, and Azerbaijan won the first game, but that was 10 years ago. Since then, the Azerbaijanis stopped in their development, but the Red Lions are adding from tournament to tournament. And they are quite capable of not losing in Baku. No matter how strange and even somewhat paradoxical it may sound, the squad of the visitors is more qualified than that of the hosts. And it already has much more experience. After all, most of the players play in the European championships.
Prediction for the match: Luxembourg to win with +0.5 handicap
