Azerbaijan meets Bulgaria at home as a small odds underdog in Group H, Euro 2016 qualifiers. Italy, Croatia, Norway and Malta are also in the group.
Azerbaijan is an emerging football nation and had some good results in the last years, especially at home. Still not a top side for sure but can play defense and get draws against better opponents. But the last match for Azerbaijan 5 days ago was really poor, a 0-4 defeat at the hands of Russia … poor football from the Azeri team.
Bulgaria is in one of the worst moments in their football history in the last decades. Very few quality players and results are really bad, last campaign for the World Cup Bulgaria finished 4th with 13 points in 10 matches … tied with Armenia. Visitors struggle to get that finishing touch and win matches. Bulgaria played no matches in the last 4 months since they got a 1-1 draw with Canada.
Bulgaria has better players but they are not so scary as a team and at home Azerbaijan can get a result, even if they played bad in the last friendly. Both teams are prone to draws so I can see that happening. Nobody will want to lose this game because it would almost surely mean losing realistic chances to qualify for Euro 2016 already, so I think we will have a tie game till the end and then nobody will have the quality to win the match even if they will try. My tip is the draw. Correct score prediction: Azerbaijan – Bulgaria 0-0.
