**Azerbaijan vs. Sweden - prediction, team news, lineups**
**Background**
Azerbaijan and Sweden will face off in a crucial UEFA Nations League match on Tuesday, September 27. Both teams are in contention for promotion to League A, and a win for either side would put them in a strong position to achieve their goal.
Azerbaijan is currently second in Group C3, with seven points from their first four matches. They have won two, drawn one, and lost one so far.
Sweden is top of the group with nine points from their four games. They have won three and lost one.
**Team News**
Azerbaijan has no major injury concerns ahead of the match against Sweden. However, they will be without the services of midfielder Emin Mahmudov, who is suspended.
Sweden has a few injury concerns. Defender Victor Nilsson Lindelöf is a doubt after missing training on Monday. Midfielder Kristoffer Olsson is also a doubt after picking up a knock in training.
**Predicted Lineups**
Azerbaijan (4-2-3-1): Mahammadaliyev; Bayramov, Badalov, Huseynov, Haghverdi; Qarayev, Alasgarov; Veliyev, Salahly, Mahmudov; Sheydayev
Sweden (4-4-2): Olsen; Krafth, Lindelöf, Jansson, Augustinsson; Forsberg, Elanga, Kulusevski, Claesson; Isak, Gyökeres
**Prediction**
Sweden is the favorite to win this match. They have a better squad on paper and have been in better form in recent months.
However, Azerbaijan is a dangerous team at home, and they will be confident of getting a result against Sweden.
I predict a close match, with Sweden winning 2-1.
