Azerbaijan vs Sweden: Euro Champ Qualifiers 2023/24 Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups
In an unimportant Euro 2024 qualifying Group F match happening in Baku this Thursday, Azerbaijan is set to host Sweden at the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium. Although both teams are already out of the running for the top two spots, Sweden’s situation became less significant in light of the troubling events that occurred in Brussels last month.
Azerbaijan, currently positioned to finish third at best in Euro 2024 qualifying, is still vying for their first major tournament appearance through playoffs. Despite a promising start in October with a 2-0 win over Estonia, they narrowly lost to Austria. Now, they face a challenging match against group leaders Belgium. To secure a playoff spot, Azerbaijan needs help from former League C rivals. The National Team hopes Georgia, currently holding a playoff spot, will not qualify directly, opening the opportunity for Azerbaijan. However, their immediate focus is breaking a nine-game home winless streak in Euros qualifying.
Following Viktor Gyokeres’s goal for Sweden being nullified by a Romelu Lukaku penalty in Brussels on October 16, tragic news emerged of two Swedish fans shot dead in a terrorist attack in the Belgian capital. The match was prematurely ended at half-time, concluding with a 1-1 scoreline, as little was at stake for qualification. Sweden, currently third in the group with seven points, failed to qualify for the Euros for the first time since 1996, leading to the end of Janne Andersson’s tenure as coach. In his final two games against Azerbaijan and Estonia, the team aims to give Andersson a fitting farewell, especially considering these are the only two teams to lose to Sweden in Euro 2024 qualifying.
