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

Although Austria suffered a 3-2 home defeat against Belgium on Friday, they still hold the top spot to secure qualification for the upcoming European Championships.

With a comfortable seven-point lead over Sweden in Group F, the Austrians are aware that a victory in Baku will guarantee their qualification for Germany.

Ralf Rangnick’s team has had a successful run in 2023, winning four out of six qualification fixtures and only losing one. With this strong performance, they can approach Monday’s match with confidence, knowing they have what it takes to get the job done.

During their recent journeys, Austria has remained undefeated in their past three games. They secured crucial victories in Andorra and Sweden, while also managing to secure a draw against the probable group champions, Belgium.

Azerbaijan, the hosts of the competition, have been eliminated from the qualifying stage. They have only managed to secure four points in Group F, with a single victory against Estonia being their sole accomplishment in the campaign.

Azerbaijan has been unsuccessful in winning any of their last 11 home qualifiers for the Euros or World Cup. Their most recent 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. This includes a 1-0 loss against Belgium in September.

Throughout history, Austria has consistently shown a dominant performance against the hosts of Monday’s match, winning by three goals in their last three meetings. This includes a remarkable 4-1 victory in Vienna earlier this season.

In the end, although Azerbaijan seldom face a heavy defeat in their home ground, Austria is expected to secure the necessary 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.
