Key stats
- This is the first match between Azerbaijan and Sierra Leone.
- Azerbaijan have never met a CAF team previously.
- Azerbaijan have lost only two of their last 11 matches against non-UEFA opponents (W6 D3).
- Azerbaijan have maintained a perfect record in their FIFA Series fixtures against non‑UEFA opponents, defeating Mongolia 1-0 in 2024 and St. Lucia 6-1 in 2026.
- This is Sierra Leone’s first-ever match against a UEFA opponent. Their only previous meetings with non‑CAF sides were four friendlies against AFC nations, producing a record of one win and three losses. The most recent was a 4-0 away defeat to IR Iran in March 2018, while their sole victory came in a 2-1 home win over Jordan in April 1983.
Azerbaijan vs Sierra Leone prediction
Azerbaijan managed to hammer Saint Lucia by six goals to one the other day. That much-needed confidence booster ended what was a 16-match winless run of form for the Azeri's - a run stretching back to the summer of 2024.
They now face a Sierra Leone side that had their clash with Oman postponed the other day, looking to build on a strong end to 2025 whereby they suffered just one loss in their final four matches.
Sierra Leone remain a fairly average and weak side generally, with Azerbaijan, especially with their home advantage, the team to be sided with them for this one.
