Ukraine vs Azerbaijan Prediction: Rebrov’s boys should be comfortable

Ukraine were involved in a stirring 5-3 victory against Iceland on Friday and they should be able to claim another success when they take on Azerbaijan in Poland on Monday (19:45 BST).

Team News

Ukraine striker Arten Dovbyk is fit again but he may have to be patient as Valdyslav Vanat is expected to keep his place in attack following the 5-3 win over Iceland on Friday.

Azerbaijan manager Aykhan Abbasov is not expected to make any changes from the team that lost 3-0 to France at the Parc des Princes on Friday.

Ukraine vs Azerbaijan Odds

Ukraine are firm favourites to come through this game as winners as they are 1/5 to take the points in this Krakow clash.

Azerbaijan are 14/1 to come out on top, while the draw is rated a 11/2 chance.

Punters can get 5/4 on both teams finding the net on Monday, while Ukraine strikers Dobyk and Vanat, who are battling it out to play in attack, are the 10/3 joint favourites to score the game’s first goal.

Ukraine to win to nil @ 4/5

Ukraine conceded three goals against Iceland on Friday but Azerbaijan don’t possess the same goal threat, so they may be able to win without conceding in Monday’s World Cup qualifying showdown.

Azerbaijan’s only goal in their last five matches came from the penalty spot when these two played out a 1-1 draw in Baku and they have failed to find the net in seven of their last nine road assignments.

Eight of their last 10 away matches have ended in defeat and it seems likely that this victory will not be as difficult to attain for Sergei Rebrov’s side.

World Cup Odds

Bet Builder - Over 2.5 Ukraine goals, Ruslan Malinovskyi to score at any time & over 6.5 Ukraine corners @ 13/2

With Ukraine finding the net five times against Iceland on Friday and Azerbaijan conceding that number against the same opposition and three against France. it is more than possible that Rebrov’s team can hit three in this showdown.

Ruslan Mailnovskyi scored twice in the Iceland game and had three goal attempts in both of his previous Nations League matches against Albania and the Czech Republic so it would be no surprise if the Genoa midfielder got on the scoresheet again.

Complete a Bet Builder by backing Ukraine to have more than 6.5 corners after they forced nine in the 1-1 draw the pair played out in Baku.
