[海外]赛事分析预测:冰岛vs阿塞拜疆预测

Iceland have scored in nine of their last ten games.
Azerbaijan have drawn two and lost eight of their last ten matches.
Iceland have netted at least twice in four of their last five home outings.
Opener is a must-win affair for Iceland
Iceland look to have their work cut out to get out of a World Cup qualifying group that contains 2022 runners-up France and Ukraine, so a home win over Azerbaijan has be regarded as essential.
The motivation should be there to do just that as they look to put the disappointment of Nations League relegation behind them, and they should be positive just four days before they face a daunting trip to Paris.
However, they should be encouraged that they can come out on top in their opener and recent results suggest their visitors may not be able to trouble the scoresheet.
Azerbaijan look to carry little threat
It looks highly unlikely that Azerbaijan will not finish bottom of the four-team group and while a 2-1 home defeat in their most recent friendly against Hungary may not be considered a disaster, they failed to score in three previous games against weak opposition in Latvia, Belarus and Haiti.
An Iceland victory may not be as comprehensive as the 6-0 loss to Sweden that Azerbaijan suffered in their most recent Nations League game, but the home side should win without conceding and 3-0 is offered as a correct-score prediction.
