Latest football match prediction: Azerbaijan vs France
Azerbaijan continued to sink deeper into crisis on the international stage as they extended their winless streak to 14 matches on Thursday night, when their World Cup dreams officially ended after a lackluster performance and a 0-2 defeat to Iceland in Baku.
Still hoping to compete for a top-two spot and a play-off place in March, the visitors played explosively in the first half to secure all three points away from home, with Fiorentina midfielder Albert Gudmundsson continuing his scoring form for the team.
Having failed to score in their third qualifying match, Azerbaijan sit bottom of the table with only one game remaining, six points behind Iceland and Ukraine – who are second and third respectively. This means the home team in Sunday's match already knows their fate.
Milli have not won in their last 14 matches, including both friendlies and official games. Their last victory came in June 2024, when they beat Kazakhstan 3-2 at Haladas Stadion (Hungary).
Ahead of this weekend's clash, Aykhan Abbasov's side are heavily underestimated and will be trying to avoid a run of defeats against the 2022 World Cup runners-up, who beat them 3-0 at Parc des Princes back in October.
It was no surprise that France secured their place at the 2026 World Cup in North America with a 4-0 victory over Ukraine in the capital on Thursday night. Kylian Mbappe scored a brilliant brace, moving closer to breaking the national team's goalscoring record.
The Real Madrid star reached the milestone of 400 career goals after the match against Ukraine and increased his goalscoring tally for the French national team to 55. At the age of 26, he is just two goals away from Olivier Giroud's record of 57 goals.
France extended their unbeaten run across all competitions to six matches (5 wins, 1 draw), and also moved up to 13 points in Group D of the UEFA qualifiers – six points ahead of Iceland and Ukraine with only one game in hand.
Les Bleus' goal is to finish the qualifying campaign without a loss, while also improving their away form after the disappointing draw in Iceland on October 13th, despite goals from both Nkunku and Mateta.
Another notable aspect of this training camp is the return of N'Golo Kante, who impressed in the Saudi Pro League playing for Al Ittihad. The two-time Premier League winner is eager to add another World Cup title to his collection.
