-------------------------------
Match Preview:
France were not exactly at their best in their two World Cup qualification fixtures in September, but they managed to post two wins, beating Ukraine 2-0 before recording a 2-1 victory over Iceland.

Didier Deschamps's side actually had to come from behind to overcome Iceland, with Kylian Mbappe and Bradley Barcola on the scoresheet after the visitors had taken a surprise led through Andri Gudjohnsen, and six points from two matches has left them at the top of Group D.

France are two-time World Cup winners, lifting the famous trophy in 1998 and 2018, while they were runners-up in 2022, losing an incredible final against Argentina on penalties.

Azerbaijan opened their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign with a 5-0 defeat to Iceland on September 5, but they did manage to recover four days later, holding Ukraine to a 1-1 draw.

One point from two matches has left the National Team bottom of Group D, two points behind second-placed Iceland and five from France, who are looking for a third straight win in the section.

Aykhan Abbasov, who is the head coach of Samaxi FK, remains in charge of Azerbaijan on a temporary basis following the exit of Fernando Santos towards the start of last month.

Match Prediction:
France will be missing some important players on Friday, and Azerbaijan are capable of making this an uncomfortable match for the Blues. That said, we are expecting the hosts to navigate their way to an important victory in Group D to move onto nine points in the section.
