Prediction: 3-0
Azerbaijan
Slovakia and Azerbaijan, the two teams who failed to qualify for the 2020 European Championship finals, face each other at City Arena Trnava in their last group game. The Slovaks aim to bounce back from a 3-1 loss to Croatia where they had a lead at half-time break, and they are seen as favourites to win Tuesday’s qualifier. Even though the hosts will be without suspended midfielder Robert Mak, we are tempted to back Marek Hamsik and Co. to win their last group game.
Azerbaijan are not regarded as good travelers, which is yet another reason why punters can find value in betting on the home side. When the two teams met in Baku earlier in the process Slovakia recorded a 5-1 win over Azerbaijan. 19-year-old attacker Robert Bozenik, who found the net against Croatia, is likely to lead the line for the hosts.
