Azerbaijan vs Lithuania Prediction & Betting Tips

Recent Form

Azerbaijan have played nine matches recently, winning three, drawing two and losing four, with 11 goals scored and 12 conceded. Most of those games came in friendlies or the FIFA Series against a real mix of opposition, from a 6-1 win over St. Lucia to a 3-0 home defeat against Haiti, so it's hard to read too much consistency into the numbers.

Azerbaijan: 9 completed matches; Lithuania: 7 completed matches.

Lithuania's sample is smaller at seven games, with two wins, two draws and three losses, and a leaner goal record of five for and nine against. They beat Moldova and Liechtenstein away, drew with Latvia and Israel, but also lost at home to Georgia and were beaten 5-0 by Denmark, so their defence has had some rough nights too.

Neither team is arriving with any real run of form behind them.

Comparative Team Statistics: Azerbaijan vs Lithuania

Head-to-Head

There's only one recorded meeting between these two, a 0-0 friendly draw back in 2019. That's a long time ago and just a single game, so it doesn't tell us much about how this current fixture is likely to go.

Nations League Group Picture

Lithuania have played one match in this Nations League group so far, winning it and scoring twice without conceding, which puts them top of their section on three points. We don't have Azerbaijan's position in the same table from this data, so it's only a partial picture of where each side stands in the competition itself.

Lithuania head into this on a decent note in this specific competition, even if their broader recent form has been patchier.

What to Expect

Given both sides have shown they can win and lose fairly comfortably depending on the opponent, this doesn't look like a fixture with an obvious pattern. Azerbaijan have scored freely at times but also conceded regularly, while Lithuania have shown they can keep a clean sheet away from home but have also been cut open, as Denmark proved.

With so much variance in both sets of results, it's tough to call this a match that's likely to go one particular way with any real confidence.
