Will both teams score in this match?
Open poll and resultsLiechtenstein vs Azerbaijan prediction
Although Liechtenstein are currently stuck at the foot of Group D2, they've played one game fewer than both Lithuania and table-toppers Azerbaijan. Three points here would therefore put them right back in the mix to finish in first place.
To do that, though, Konrad Funfstuck's side will need to break their scoring duck, which has seen them fail to find the net so far in this group stage. Azerbaijan, meanwhile, found a way onto the scoresheet against Lithuania last time out, their 1-0 win putting them in pole position at the top of the group.
As was the case in the reverse fixture, don't expect much between these two teams. However, the importance of victory for Liechtenstein could make for a more open game, with the hosts having little choice but to commit more players forward in search of three points. That could in turn create more opportunities for Azerbaijan, so backing both teams to score may wind up a shrewd play.
