France vs Azerbaijan Prediction: World Cup Qualifier Clash – Extratips

Welcome to Extratips! This World Cup qualifier between France and Azerbaijan kicks off on October 10th at 18:45 UTC. France sits at the top of Group D with two wins out of two, boasting 6 points and a +3 goal difference. Meanwhile, Azerbaijan is struggling at the bottom, stuck on 1 point after two matches and a -5 goal difference.

Their head-to-head history is all blue: France has never lost to Azerbaijan, winning the last three matchups and scoring a combined 12 goals without reply. France’s stars, led by Kylian Mbappé (2 goals, 1 assist in the campaign), are firing on all cylinders. Azerbaijan is still looking for their first win and rarely finds the net against top-tier sides. In home games, France has shown dominant form, while Azerbaijan often struggle on their travels.

Injuries to Doué and doubts over Digne may affect France’s lineup, but their depth should cover these absences. Azerbaijan has no major known injuries but lacks scoring punch. The storyline here is whether France pushes for a big win or eases up to manage players with a packed schedule ahead. Expect the French attack to shine, as history and current form point their way.
