Austria vs Azerbaijan Predictions


Azerbaijan have a far stronger squad than Azerbaijan and should be too good here. I am backing the Boys to win 2-0 in Linz.

Head to Head


Austria have a 3-0 advantage against Azerbaijan with 1 draw in 4 matches.

They last met in the 2012 European Championship qualifiers, Austria winning 3-0 at home and 4-1 in Azerbaijan.

Austria Form


Austria failed to qualify for the World Cup and had a disappointing campaign in the Nations League.

Ralf Rangnick’s side won 3-0 in Croatia to get off to a great start but failed to win a game after that, registering four defeats and a draw. They finished bottom of League A/Group 1 to get relegated.

Austria played two friendlies in November, a 1-0 win against Andorra and 2-0 victory over Italy.
