Azerbaijan and Malta square off against each other in a friendly at Haladas Stadium in Hungary, with both sides eager to gain confidence after disappointing recent results. As both teams are eager to grab something from Friday's clash, we predict a 2-2 draw. Azerbaijan are looking to make amends for an unsuccessful World Cup qualifying campaign and will rely heavily on experienced midfielder Emin Mahmudov to inspire the team. Recent form has been poor, with just one win from their last 10 matches and an average of 0.60 points per game. Azerbaijan have scored 1.10 goals per match but conceded 2.00, while both teams have scored in 60% of their recent fixtures.
Malta head into the contest encouraged by their spirited display against Slovakia, where they were denied a positive result only by a stoppage-time winner in a 2-1 defeat. Paul Mbong and Kevin Cannavo are both pushing for starting spots after impressive performances. Like Azerbaijan, Malta have struggled for consistency, collecting 0.70 points per game from their last 10 matches. Their matches average 3.70 total goals, with defensive issues remaining a concern after conceding 2.80 goals per game.
As BTTS has landed in 60% of Azerbaijan's recent matches and 60% of the previous H2H meetings, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 and Over 3.5 goals (Malta matches average 3.70 goals, while Azerbaijan games average 3.10).
This match will be played on Friday 5 June 2026 at 19:00.
