Azerbaijan vs Liechtenstein Tips & Predictions – Home Win to Nil is Backed in the UEFA Nations League
Azerbaijan are strong favorites to defeat Liechtenstein in their upcoming UEFA Nations League 2026 clash. Liechtenstein have been in very poor form, losing 17 of their last 18 matches and failing to register a shot on target in their opening games. Azerbaijan, meanwhile, are solid at home and recently drew with Lithuania away. Based on current form and head-to-head records, Azerbaijan are predicted to secure a comfortable win to nil, with the recommendation being a home win and a clean sheet for Azerbaijan.
- Azerbaijan could become group leaders with potential win here
- We are backing them to collect three points without conceding

Liechtenstein had zero shots on target in their three games, so I expect Azerbaijan to justify role of favorites and win to nil on Thursday.

Azerbaijan Aiming for First Place
Azerbaijan were tagged underdogs in their UEFA Nations League 2026 opening clash against Lithuania last weekend but secured a 1-1 draw in Kaunas.
They conceded after just nine minutes of play, but Mahir Emreli found an equalizer just five minutes later. Azerbaijan finished this clash with 0.84-1.27 expected goals, 49% possession and 4-3 shots on target.
Aykhan Abbasov's side warmed up for the UNL 2026 campaign by playing a friendly match against Tajikistan last week, earning a 1-0 victory (Oleg Baklov scored an own goal).
Liechtenstein Heavy Underdogs
Liechtenstein are one of the weakest sides in Europe, suffering 17 losses in their last 18 appearances across competitions.
They didn't register a single shot on target in the UNL 2026 opening clash against Lithuania, losing 2-0 in front of the home crowd last week.
Last weekend, Liechtenstein played a friendly match against Malta and registered another 2-0 defeat. Nicolas Hasler failed to score a penalty early, which was their only decent attempt to find the net.
