Azerbaijan have the stronger squad and should be capable of creating enough chances to make this an entertaining contest. They currently lead Group D2 and have an important opportunity to strengthen their position.
Liechtenstein have struggled offensively, failing to score in both of their Nations League matches in this campaign. However, they will be playing at home and need points, which could encourage a more attacking approach.
The reverse fixture finished 0–0, so there is some caution attached to this selection. Nevertheless, one statistical model gives Over 1,5 goals a probability of almost 78%, making the two-goal line an interesting option.
Azerbaijan have the quality to score twice themselves, while even one goal from Liechtenstein would make this selection more comfortable.

Slovakia head into this Nations League encounter as clear favourites. They have shown considerably stronger form than the Faroe Islands and will be confident of collecting all three points in front of their home supporters.
Their attacking performances have been particularly encouraging. Slovakia have scored 11 goals across their last five matches, including an impressive 4–0 away victory against Moldova.
The Faroe Islands have been difficult to beat recently, but their defensive record suggests they could struggle against a stronger opponent. The previous meeting between these sides finished 1–1, showing that the Faroe Islands can compete, but Slovakia should have the quality to take control this time.
With Slovakia’s attacking strength and home advantage, a victory combined with at least two total goals looks like an attractive selection.
