The Euro Champ Qualifiers match between Belgium and Azerbaijan will take place at King Baudouin Stadium on Sunday at 10:30 pm IST.
With their place in the Euro 2024 finals secured, Belgium has the luxury to try new approaches in their last Group F match against Azerbaijan at King Baudouin Stadium on Sunday. The Red Devils, having already qualified, also secured a friendly win earlier this week. On the other hand, Azerbaijan, despite surprising Sweden in Baku, is already eliminated from the competition.
Returning to action after the abandoned game against Sweden in October, Group F leaders Belgium faced Serbia in their build-up to the final Germany 2024 qualifier. Yannick Carrasco scored in the second minute for the home side, securing a win and extending their unbeaten streak to nine matches. The tragic shooting in Brussels had halted Belgium’s previous qualifier against Sweden, which was drawn 1-1. However, with five wins and a draw in the initial six games, Belgium secured their place in the European Championship finals. After a recent home victory, Belgium concludes their qualifying campaign against Azerbaijan, aiming to end their trophy drought in the upcoming Euros.
While Belgium secures their spot in Germany next summer, Azerbaijan faces another absence from the main stage after a challenging start to the Group F qualifying. However, the latter part of their campaign showed improvement, notably when hosting Sweden at Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium. Despite both teams being eliminated, Gianni De Biasi’s squad impressively secured a 3-0 victory against Sweden, breaking a nine-game streak without a home win in European qualifiers. Earlier successes included a friendly win over Jordan and a victory against Estonia in Group F. Despite narrowly missing a point against Austria, Azerbaijan’s resilient performance against Sweden marked a memorable turnaround in their qualifying journey.
Belgium probable starting lineup: Sels, Castagne, Faes, Vertonghen, Theate, Tielemans, Mangala, Carrasco, Doku, Lukaku, Trossard
Azerbaijan probable starting lineup: Mehemmedeliyev, Mammadov, Kryvotsiuk, Haghverdi, Cafarguliyev, Bayramov, Diniyev, Isayev, Sheydayev, Mahmudov, Dadashov
