Azerbaijan vs Austria Betting Tips &— Austria to win to nil

Austria, despite suffering a 3-2 home defeat against Belgium on Friday, still holds the leading position to qualify for the upcoming European Championships next summer.

With a comfortable seven-point lead over Sweden in Group F, Austria is aware that a victory in Baku will guarantee their place in Germany.

Ralf Rangnick’s men have had a successful run in 2023, winning four out of six qualification fixtures and only losing one. With this strong performance, they are confident in their ability to get the job done on Monday.

During their recent journey, Austria has managed to remain undefeated in their last three matches. They secured crucial victories against Andorra and Sweden, in addition to a draw against the anticipated group champions, Belgium.

Azerbaijan, the hosts of the tournament, are no longer in the running to qualify. They have only managed to accumulate four points in Group F, with a single victory against Estonia being their only notable achievement during their qualification campaign.

Azerbaijan has been unsuccessful in winning any of their last 11 home qualifiers, whether it be for the Euros or World Cup. Their last qualifying victory in Baku was a 1-0 win against Norway in 2016.

In recent times, Giovanni De Biasi’s team has suffered defeat in five out of their last six home qualifiers. One of these losses includes a 1-0 defeat against Belgium in September.

In the past, Austria has had a solid track record against the hosts of Monday’s match. Their previous three encounters have all resulted in a three-goal triumph, including a 4-1 victory in Vienna earlier this season.

In the end, despite Azerbaijan rarely facing heavy defeats at home, Austria is expected to have the necessary capabilities to secure the victory. Therefore, I predict an away win for the Austrians, who are also likely to maintain a clean sheet at the Tofiq BÉ™hramov adına Respublika stadionu.
