Azerbaijan vs Ukraine Prediction (09.09.2025)

The 0:5 loss away to Iceland on Friday again highlighted the poor state of Azerbaijan. Even the experienced Fernando Santos cannot stop the bad results. His team has gone 11 consecutive matches without a win, achieving only two draws in that time. Azerbaijan also has just one draw and six losses in their last seven home matches.

Ukraine also started the qualifiers with a loss, but to France and with a score of 0:2. It is precisely against top teams that Ukraine cannot compete at this stage, but overall, they play successfully against other teams and those below their level. So now they have a good opportunity to secure a win and aim for their first World Cup qualification since 2006.

Azerbaijan simply continues to disappoint, and it wouldn't be surprising if Santos, who was given high hopes, soon parts ways with his position. Ukraine remains a decent team and generally handles similar opponents well, which I expect them to do now.
