by Nella Wagah | in World Cup Predictions
Republic of Ireland and Azerbaijan are stuck at the bottom of Group A with both nations still searching for their first point(s) of the 2022 World Cup qualification campaign. Going to Match Day 5 of the qualifiers, Ireland hosts Azerbaijan, seeking better luck after losing to Portugal in stoppage time on Match Day 4. Their loss to Portugal was the second in five matches for Ireland but they have just one win in 15 matches. In their last 10 matches they’ve suffered six losses and failed to score in six. Ireland have no win in their last five matches in World Cup qualifiers and go to this game on four straight losses while they have just one clean sheet in the last five. At home, they have three losses and one win in four world Cup qualification matches.
It is Azerbaijan’s first ever meeting with Ireland and they will be hoping to shock their hosts, to secure a first win in this group. They are coming from a 2-1 loss to Luxembourg and will have a second straight away match as they seek points to lift them off the bottom of the group. The loss to Luxembourg was their sixth in seven matches and they’ve failed to score in seven of their last 12 matches. In three of their last five matches, Azerbaijan have conceded two or more goals and both teams have scored in four of their last five. They have no clean sheet in the last seven matches while four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals. In World Cup qualification matches, Azerbaijan have nine losses in the last 10, including five straight losses ahead of this game. They failed to score in three of the last five World Cup qualification matches away from home.
