Both teams come into this match needing to pick up points. Azerbaijan, under the guidance of Fernando Santos, has shown progress and is particularly resilient at home. Iceland, in turn, is undergoing a generational change after its historic success at Euro 2016 but remains a dangerous and organized opponent. This will be the first-ever official meeting between these national teams, making it completely unpredictable.
Team Form and Analysis
Azerbaijan
The 'Milli' (The National Team) relies on a solid defense and fast counter-attacks. At home, with the support of their fans, the Azerbaijani team is capable of causing problems for any opponent. The team will aim to seize their chance and take three points against a direct competitor. The team's leaders are experienced players from European leagues, such as Renat Dadashov and Emin Mahmudov.
Iceland
'Strákarnir okkar' (Our Boys) are known for their fighting spirit, athleticism, and skill from set pieces. Despite the departure of the 'golden generation,' the Icelandic squad still features quality players from strong European leagues. A player to watch is Albert Guðmundsson from Genoa, who is the team's main star. The Icelanders will try to impose a physical battle and use their advantage in physical strength.
