UEFA Nations League is back in action, and this is a game between two teams who met each other not long ago, with Azerbaijan managing only a 0-0 draw in their latest match, while Lithuania just closed things out with a 3-0 win in a friendly. Azerbaijan are unbeaten in 4 straight matches, but lately they have drawn two in a row without scoring. Their attack is still pinning hopes on late-game moments, while Lithuania are in better rhythm, winning their latest match and unbeaten in 3 straight. Their defence has clearly become tougher. This game is likely to see Azerbaijan as the side opening up and attacking, because they are playing at home and need three points, while Lithuania will probably set up in a block and wait for counter-attacking chances through the speed of their forwards. If Azerbaijan score first early, the game could open up, but if they still cannot break through, Lithuania have a high chance of pulling the game to a finish without losing.
