Azerbaijan vs Estonia Preview
- Competition: UEFA Nations League.
- Date: Saturday, November 16.
- Time: 2:00 PM GMT.
- Venue: Gabala City Stadium.
In Round Five of the UEFA Nations League, Azerbaijan hosts Estonia for a League C Group 1 fixture on Saturday afternoon at the Gabala City Stadium.
The hosts are currently fourth, at the bottom of the table without any points, as they have yet to pick up a single point in their Nations League campaign. Meanwhile, Estonia are merely above Azerbaijan in third, having three points in their account, following an only win over the same opponent in the first-leg fixture at home.
Both sides are realistically out of contention to go through, thus they would intend to claim all three points to conclude their respective campaigns on high in the remaining two fixtures of the Nations League.

Key Players to watch in Azerbaijan vs Estonia
Tural Bayramov (Azerbaijan)
Tural Bayramov is a versatile player who primarily plays as left back for his club Qarabag FK, while for Azerbaijan, he plays more advanced mainly as a wide midfielder or winger. The 23-year-old has been involved in 9 goals for his club in the Azerbaijan League and UEFA Europa League making 15 appearances in all competitions this season. For his country, Bayramov has played 27 matches and scored in his last two appearances against Estonia and Slovakia respectively.
Rocco Robert Shein (Estonia)
The 21-year-old Estonian International was more than impressive against Azerbaijan during their 3-1 win and Rocco Robert Shein scored and assisted in that match while playing in the centre of the midfield. So far, Shein has won 14 International caps for Estonia since making his senior debut for the country at the age of 18 in 2022. He will be the key player for Jürgen Henn to deploy in the middle of the pitch and dominate and win the small midfield battles against competitive hosts.
Azerbaijan vs Estonia Prediction
We say a tough win for Estonia with a margin of 2-0 over Azerbaijan after looking into the recent forms of both teams. The hosts under Fernando Santos have lost all of their four matches in this competition ever since he took charge. Meanwhile, the guests have experienced mixed results but their recent victory in the first leg adds pressure on the home side to deliver the results in front of home support.
Predicted Score: Azerbaijan 0-2 Estonia
