Belarus 10/11 to beat Azerbaijan in Wednesday’s international friendly

Competition: International friendly

Market: Belarus win

Odds: 10/11 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on what has been a real purple patch on home soil, Belarus will host Azerbaijan in a friendly showdown on Wednesday evening.

Starting with the hosts, while Belarus might have been handed an expected hammering at the hands of Belgium last time out, they should be confident of making an immediate return to winning ways. Opening up their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 4-2 victory against Estonia on home soil back in March, it should be noted that The Whites are unbeaten in each of their last four straight home fixtures, recording three wins. More impressive, including bagging four strikes against Estonia, Wednesday’s hosts have bagged themselves over 1.5 goals in each of their last three home wins on the bounce. Also recording a 1-0 win when they faced off against the midweek guests back in 2018, Belarus should be looking to pick up a morale boost on Wednesday.

As for the visitors, putting in another sluggish display last time out, Azerbaijan find themselves in the midst of what has been a real struggle over the past two years. Suffering a 2-1 defeat when they made the trip to Turkey for a friendly showdown on May 27th, they have lost each of their last four straight matchups across all formats. Along with opening their World Cup qualifying campaign with back-to-back defeats, their worrying rut was also highlighted by a 2-1 defeat against Qatar back in March. On top of those four consecutive defeats, it should also be noted that Azerbaijan are without a win in any of their last nine straight fixtures. Suffering that 1-0 defeat when they last faced off against Wednesday’s hosts back in 2018, we’re backing a similar victory for Belarus in midweek.
