Azerbaijan vs Iceland Current Form and Standings

Azerbaijan have had a terrible qualifying campaign and haven't yet won a game, only picking up one point. They have only scored two goals but have conceded 11 in four games. They will take solace from the fact that they have a difficult group alongside France and Ukraine but will be desperately hoping for a win to restore some pride.

Iceland are still in with a chance of making it to the World Cup but will need to win both of their remaining games if they are to do so. One victory and one draw mark their only points so far, and they currently sit three points behind Ukraine, who occupy the second-chance qualification place at this stage.

Azerbaijan haven't won any of their last five, with their one draw coming against Ukraine earlier in this qualification stage. A lot of goals conceded and not many goals scored is the main takeaway from Azerbaijan's form… Not really what you want.

Key Players to Watch: Azerbaijan vs Iceland

Emin Mahmudov (Azerbaijan): Azerbaijan have scored two goals in their qualifying group; one was an own goal, and Mahmudov scored the other from the penalty spot. There isn't much to go off in terms of players to watch, but the veteran midfielder appears to be the one who could drag them to a result in this fixture.

Albert Gudmundsson (Iceland): Gudmundsson has been Iceland's biggest threat in this qualifying campaign. He has two goals and three assists in the competition so far, and his country will desperately need him to perform if they are to have a chance of going to the World Cup next year.
