Improvements are being seen in Azerbaijan football, however, their U21 team remains among the weakest in Europe. They are currently vying for fourth position with two other teams in their qualification group. Although fourth position won’t secure them a spot at the European championship, it would represent a positive step forward. So far, Azerbaijan U21 has garnered three points from four qualification matches. In their most recent game, they suffered a 1-0 loss against Ukraine U21. With only 32% ball possession and six shots on goal, it’s unsurprising that Azerbaijan U21 faced another defeat.

So far, England U21 has secured three U21 titles. Their most recent trophy was won in Georgia last year, where they triumphed over Spain. In the ongoing qualifications, the team managed by Lee Carsley has accumulated 12 points from five matches. They dominated their previous game against Northern Ireland U21, winning 3-0 on their home ground. From the onset, the home team had control of the match, ensuring another straightforward victory.

Azerbaijan U21 vs England U21 pick: Under 3.5 goals

In four matches, Azerbaijan U21 has a goal difference of 3:6, indicating that their games typically feature few goals. Conversely, England U21 boasts an impressive defense, having conceded only four goals in five games. Therefore, a bet of under 3.5 goals appears to be the most appropriate wager for this match.
