Our prediction for this Nations League match:
Struggling Azerbaijan will look to put an end to their four-game losing run when they face Estonia in the UEFA Nations League round 5. Azerbaijan have been struggling in the new edition of the Nations League, but they are still seen as favourites to beat Estonia in front of home fans. Nurnberg forward Mahir Emreli is banned for the match, while Neftci midfielder Emin Mahmudov is pushing for a recall to the starting XI.
The Estonians, on the other hand, experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-0 loss to Sweden. As Azerbaijan are desperate to return to winning ways following four consecutive defeats, we predict that the visitors are going to return home empty-handed. Earlier in the process Estonia defeated Azerbaijan 3-1, meaning that the hosts are hungry for revenge. There are no fresh injury worries in the away team ahead of the trip to Baku.
Highlighted Team (Estonia):
Former Soviet republic Estonia declared its independence on August 20, 1991 and they have been participating in FIFA and UEFA competitions ever since. The Estonians have yet to make it to the finals of a major tournament, but they often made life difficult for European giants in the qualifiers.
In 2010 Estonia did well to beat Serbia in Belgrade in the Euro 2012 qualifiers, but they eventually failed to qualify for the showpiece tournament. “The Blueshirts” welcome their rivals at Le Coq Arena in Tallinn and the capacity of the stadium is 10.500. Sergei Zenjov, who played for the likes of Blackpool, Karpaty and Torpedo Moscow in the past is one of the most famous Estonian footballers.
Ragnar Klavan is yet another notable footballer who plays for both Estonia national football team and Liverpool. The Estonians play their home games in blue shirts and black shorts, while they wear white shirts and white shorts when playing on the travels.
