Giovanni De Biasi’s men, currently placed fourth in the group, have a slim chance of reaching Euro 2024 through the playoffs. Their recent form, including a commendable performance against Austria, showcases resilience. However, a formidable challenge awaits as they face group leaders Belgium after the Sweden encounter. Azerbaijan aims to break a nine-game streak without a home win in Euros qualifying, a crucial feat for their aspirations.

For Sweden, the context transcends football, with the tragic events in Brussels overshadowing recent matches. Janne Andersson’s departure as the head coach looms, marking the end of an era. Sweden, having failed to qualify for the Euros for the first time since 1996, seeks redemption in Andersson’s final two games against Azerbaijan and Estonia. The Blue and Yellow, currently third in the group, eye a poignant farewell for their long-serving leader.
Thursday’s match holds a special significance for Azerbaijan striker Musa Qurbanly, playing in Sweden’s top flight. However, the spotlight may shift to 10-goal attacker Sheydayev and Hatayspor’s Renat Dadashov leading the home side’s attack. On the other side, Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak’s absence due to injury poses a challenge for Sweden, relying on the striking duo of Gyokeres and Kulusevski.
Probable Lineups:
In their previous encounters, Sweden has dominated Azerbaijan, and the trend is likely to continue. Despite Azerbaijan’s recent positive results, the superior quality of the Blue and Yellow should secure a 2-0 victory. The emotional context surrounding Sweden adds a layer of unpredictability, but Andersson’s final away match is expected to end in a comfortable success.
Prediction: Azerbaijan 0-2 Sweden
