Latest football commentary on Sweden vs Azerbaijan
Sweden have secured promotion to League B of the 2024-25 UEFA Nations League after an impressive 2-1 win over Slovakia on Saturday evening. The result saw Jon Dahl Tomasson’s side secure top spot in the group, with one final game to play. Both key strikers Alexander Isak and Viktor Gyokeres scored in the game, with Gyokeres continuing his fine form as he took his tally to five goals, topping the 2024-25 Nations League scoring charts.
Sweden have been in fine form this campaign, starting with a 3-1 win away to Azerbaijan in September, with Isak and Gyokeres both scoring. Finishing top of their group has given Sweden confidence heading into next year’s World Cup qualification, and they have had no major problems in the rest of the campaign, with a 2-1 win over Slovakia, although they have failed to maintain their lead.
Meanwhile, Azerbaijan are in dire straits, bottom of League C with just one point from five games. Fernando Santos' side have not won since May, with a single draw against Estonia. They have lost 3-1 to Sweden and Estonia and Slovakia, making the upcoming clash with Sweden a crucial one. If they fail to win, Azerbaijan will be relegated to League D. Poor form and consecutive defeats make it extremely difficult for Azerbaijan to avoid relegation.
