Match Preview
Azerbaijan is currently third in Group C of the competition with 10 points but because of Germany and Northern Ireland’s success in the group has already been eliminated from contention. The Eurasian side is coming off a dominant 5-1 win against San Marino at home and will look to keep that form going in this game.
That win was a solid team effort as four different scorers led Azerbaijan to the three points from the game. This should be a tough game but the home-field advantage could push the Southeastern European team to come away with the three points.
The Czech Republic is currently fourth with nine points in Group C and has also been mathematically eliminated from a chance at participating in the 2018 FIFA World Cup. Karel Jarolím’s men have not won in three consecutive games this includes a draw against Norway and losses against Germany and Northern Ireland. The last time these two teams met the game was a deadlock that finished scoreless in the Czech Republic, this game should also be close and provide a hard-fought duel.
