Sweden have conceded 10 goals across their four matches in 2024
Both teams have scored in each of Azerbaijan’s last three matches
The Swedes have scored in four of their last five away trips
Sweden to face more defensive issues
Sweden make the daunting trip to Azerbaijan for their Nations League opener, having gone five games without a victory in this competition. The Swedes missed out on Euro 2024 and they’re hoping to turn around a poor run this year, having lost three of their first four games.
Keeping clean sheets has been an issue for Sweden as they’ve conceded 10 times across their four matches this year. Having managed just one clean sheet on the road in Euro 2024 qualifying, Azerbaijan should find success going forward.
The hosts have seen both teams score in each of their last three games, with nine goals scored across their two matches in June. Azerbaijan have won three of their last four home matches – including a victory over Sweden in November – so expect them to look strong in Baku.
Sweden do have attacking talent to call upon and they have scored in four of their last five away games. Back an exciting start for the pair in this Nations League pool, with both teams to score looking well priced considering their recent records.
