Amazing, isn’t it? The Kosovars don’t have any serious experience, damned the qualifiers for the FIFA World Cup 2018 but they don’t know bitterness of defeat during 9 games already. Naturally, it is all at the level of Burkina Faso and Malta but still that is just the point – they have a great chance to get into League C through the matchup vs Azerbaijan. To achieve that it is enough not to budge on head-to-head. Will it work out? Likely, it will, as for now the reasons for the guests’ victory are out of sight. Will the hosts try to score at all cost? I have great doubts.
I really don’t know the reasons of so high odds for the guests’ victory. Perhaps it is connected with a less than stellar away game. Azerbaijan is not a very scoring team. At bottom, they scored more than one goal just in the game vs Faroe Islands; they couldn’t do it in the other meetings. Can they be ahead of the game? Can they not just turn to bay but to win? Azerbaijan can’t do it.
The match will be tough and with small number of goals. Not so many goals are kicked in this group usually. Guests had total 2, 5 just once. Hardly imagine how they can do it at twice. However, for Kosovo it is enough to play according to their Table Position. The first meeting ended with scoreless tie. Do the national teams have any attack masters in general? No, they surely don’t. I think, it is possible that the game will be finished without any goals at all.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals
The hosts won’t force things in this match while the visitors are simply not good enough to be competitive away from home.
