Azerbaijan Form

Portuguese Fernando Santos was named as Azerbaijan's head coach in June. He replaced former interim boss Arif Asadov.

Asadov led the national team to two wins, a defeat and one draw during his four-match spell. Azerbaijan beat Mongolia 1-0 and Kazakhstan 3-2 either side of a 1-1 draw against Bulgaria and 3-1 defeat to Albania.

The National trailed 2-0 at home against Kazakhstan after 28 minutes in their most recent international in June. Mahir Emreli, Emin Mahmudov and Bayramov scored to complete the comeback victory.

Sweden also changed managers earlier in 2024. Jon Dahl Tomasson took over from caretaker Daniel Bäckström in March.

Tomasson lost his opening match 5-2 against Portugal before a 1-0 win over Albania. Sweden then suffered back-to-back defeats against Denmark away (2-1) and Serbia at home (3-0).

The Blue and Yellow had chances against Serbia with 20 shots and 64% possession but conceded on 18 minutes. They couldn’t hit back and shipped two more goals after half time.
