Azerbaijan vs Croatia
Azerbaijan’s journey in the EURO qualification looks set to end with an embarrassing record. The reason is, they have never failed to score until the fourth week. In the next match, the trend is likely to continue when facing Croatia. The guest team is planned to be invited on Monday (9/9) at Bakcell Arena.
Until Saturday (7/9) yesterday, Azerbaijan continued to suffer defeat so that it did not move from the bottom of the standings. In that match, they surrendered 2-1 in Wales after the hosts opened the scoring through an own goal by Pavel Pashayev (26 ‘) and added another through Gareth Bale (84’).
On the same day, Croatia held a four-goal party in Slovakia. They opened the scoring through the action of Nikola Vlasic (45 ‘) and closed it through the action of Dejan Lovren (89’). Thanks to this victory, they also managed to match the acquisition of Hungarian figures who are currently at the top.
Croatia certainly wants to be there when tomorrow’s match ends. They met with Azerbaijan in the first week and won 2-1. This time, the physical factor will be the main challenge because they only have two days to make preparations. Therefore, a goal feast in Slovakia will be a crucial moment to keep players motivated. At a minimum, Croatia can occupy the top of the day because Hungary will only perform on Tuesday (10/9) to host Slovakia.
