Estonia

Estonia lost both of their September qualifiers by the same scoreline, 0-5, against Sweden and Belgium. The team is at the bottom of Group F with just one point. They trail their upcoming opponent only on tiebreakers. Notably, Estonia has the worst goal difference in Group F (2:16).

• Estonia's winless streak in European Championship qualifying is 16 matches (2 draws, 14 losses).
• The team has conceded at least 2 goals in 11 of their last 13 qualifiers.
• At home, Estonia has lost 7 consecutive European Championship qualifiers, including the last 4 with a combined scoreline of 0-15.

Azerbaijan

In September, Azerbaijan played one qualifying match, losing 0-1 to Belgium, and missed Matchday 6, playing a friendly against Jordan (2-1). The team has just one point from a draw against Estonia in the first round. Interestingly, Azerbaijan has also scored only 2 goals in this qualifying campaign but has conceded 5 fewer goals than their upcoming opponent.

• Azerbaijan has not won in 17 consecutive European Championship qualifiers (5 draws, 12 losses).
• The team failed to score in 5 of their last 7 Euro qualifiers.
• Azerbaijan has never won an away match in European Championship qualifying history (4 draws, 32 losses).

Estonia vs. Azerbaijan: Match Prediction

This upcoming match holds only local significance as both teams will fight to avoid finishing last in the group. However, this motivation is enough to strive for a win, so don't expect a friendly match atmosphere. Both teams are on long winless streaks in European Championship qualifiers and will be eager to break these runs.

Bookmakers favor the hosts, but I believe the visitors have at least an equal chance of success. Azerbaijan narrowly lost to Belgium in their last qualifier, whereas Estonia was soundly defeated by Belgium 0-5 in Matchday 6. Another point in favor of the visitors is their more reliable defense, conceding just one goal in each of their last two Euro 2024 qualifiers.

Estonia has struggled in attack, scoring only 2 goals in 5 qualifiers, failing to score in their last 4 home Euro qualifiers. Therefore, I believe the hosts are unlikely to score more than once. My prediction: Estonia Individual Total Under 1.5
