Picks Summary
Azerbaijan vs. Belgium
Saturday, September 9, 2023 – 09:00 AM EDT at Dalga Arena
Azerbaijan
One key statistic during Azerbaijan’s Euro 2024 qualifying campaign stands out like a sore thumb, and that’s the fact they’ve collected just one point thus far. And for this reason, we’re looking at 12/1 underdogs when a dangerous Belgium squad visits Baku this weekend.
In the three Euro qualifiers Azerbaijan has played so far, they’ve allowed 10 goals, including a 4-1 and 5-0 drubbing at the hands of Austria and Sweden, respectively. Fly the red flags because now they’re faced with a clinical attack, and the “Battlefield of Europe” could seriously damage Gianni De Biasi’s men.
Belgium
Belgium’s faithful will be glad the Roberto Martinez era is behind them – a tenure that ended with an ugly exit from the World Cup. Newly appointed head coach Domenico Tedesco is already guiding The Red Devils to greater heights, with a 5-game undefeated streak in tow.
The likes of Romelu Lukaku and Jan Vertonghen bring valued experience to this Belgium squad. Still, the makeover is underway as countless new faces, such as Jeremy Doku and Johan Bakayoko, can bring life to a team whose golden generation has wilted in recent years.
Euro 2024 Qualifiers Prediction, Odds, & Trends
The Euro 2024 betting odds heavily favor Saturday’s road team, and rightfully so. With only Azerbaijan and Estonia remaining on this month’s schedule, Belgium has a clear path to taking maximum points.
The discrepancy in skill between these sides is evident, and Belgium will make their domineering presence known from start to finish. Take Belgium and over 2 goals for a great price of -150, as another 3-0 win can be expected from a team that’s achieved this scoreline in 3 of their last 4 games.
Score Prediction: Azerbaijan 0 – Belgium 3
Supporting Trends
- Belgium are undefeated in 5 consecutive games
- Azerbaijan is riding a 13-game winless run
- Belgium has netted three goals in 3 of their previous 4 games
Soccer Pick: Belgium & Over 2 Goals (-150) at Bet365
Kosovo vs. Switzerland
Saturday, September 9, 2023 – 02:45 PM EDT at Pristina City Stadium
Kosovo
Kosovo has yet to reach a European Champions, and their chance of bucking this trend doesn’t look promising this year. They collected just three points in their first four qualification games, including a recent 2-1 defeat to Belarus.
Now, if you know anything about Belarus, you’ll know that this squad isn’t even close to the talent levels of Switzerland. Don’t expect much of a fight from Kosovo, who’re ranked 109th by FIFA and are now facing their toughest Group I test to date.
Switzerland
The Dardanians will face a Swiss team that’s looking to qualify for their third consecutive Euro competition, and they’re currently topping Group I with 10 points from four games.
A tie fixture with Romania has prevented the Rossocrociati from a 100%-win record. However, still, they’re riding an aggregate score of 10-1 from their three opening qualifiers, and head coach Murat Yakin has portrayed an ultra-focussed mindset during interviews and insists his team must win all of their remaining games.
Euro 2024 Prediction, Odds, & Trends
The Euro 2024 moneyline odds on Switzerland at -160 are a steal. We’ve got the 109th-ranked team versus the 13th-ranked team; need I say more?
Sure, Kosovo can be frustrating, and they love to play a stubborn game and park the bus. However, this won’t be enough to stop the Swiss, who boast a much stronger squad in all areas.
Score Prediction: Kosovo 0 – Switzerland 2
Supporting Trends
- Switzerland has won 3 of their previous 4 Group I Euro meetings
- Kosovo hasn’t won a game in 2023
- Switzerland has won 6 of their previous 7 Euro qualifying games
Soccer Pick: Switzerland (-160) at Bet365
