Wales hosts Azerbaijan in round 5 of Euro qualification. The match will be played on Friday, September 6th at Cardiff City Stadium (Cardiff)
The Wales team, which still has a very strong and well-balanced squad, hasn’t the right to misfire in the current qualifying round for EURO 2020 anymore. After a successful start in the form of a home victory over the Slovaks (1-0), Wales suffered two defeats to the Hungarians and the Croats. They sent the Welsh to the penultimate line in the Group E standings with already melted hopes of getting out of it. And now, Wales has a great opportunity to replenish its point balance since it will meet the traditionally weak and virtually helpless team of Azerbaijan, which has long been a punching bag and a supplier of points even for medium-level teams. By the way, the Dragons had no particular problems in the games with opponents from under-football states, having recently beaten Andorra (2:0 ) and Moldova (2:0 + 4:0) + much stronger Austrians (1-0) and the Irish (1-0). As we see, the opponents of the Dragons could not even score!

As for Azerbaijan, it can change famous coaches like used gloves as much as it likes, but the essence of the matter remains the same - the team shows a terrible game now, being one of the worst teams of modern European football deservedly. It lost to Slovakia (at home, 1:5), Hungary (at home, 1:3), and Croatia (1:2, away) in the qualification for European Championship 2020 + to newly formed Kosovo (away, 0:4) in the League of Nations... And the only thing the Azerbaijanis have been able to boast of recently is a zero draw with Lithuania in a friendly game.
I believe that much more high-status Wales will not have any special problems with reaching the maximum result. And if we take into account the purely defensive style of the Welshmen, equally productively affecting both losers and the middles-class teams, we can safely assume a dry victory of the British for a very coefficient!
Prediction for the match: Wales to keep a clean sheet - yes
