Azerbaijan vs France Prediction and Betting Tips | November 16th 2025

Azerbaijan will welcome France to the Tofiq Bahramov Republican Stadium in their final match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Sunday. The hosts are winless in the campaign thus far, suffering four defeats. Les Bleus, meanwhile, have enjoyed an unbeaten run, winning four games.

Milli komanda suffered a third consecutive defeat earlier this week, as they lost 2-0 at home to Iceland, failing to score for the third time in five games.

The visitors were held to a 2-2 draw by Iceland last month and bounced back with a 4-0 home triumph over Ukraine in their previous outing. After a scoreless first half, Kylian Mbappé scored twice after the break, while Hugo Ekitike and Michael Olise were also on the scoresheet in the second half.

• They met in the reverse fixture last month, and the visitors recorded a 3-0 win.
• The hosts have conceded 13 goals in five qualifiers thus far, while Les Bleus have scored 13 times.
• The visitors have scored at least two goals in their last eight games across all competitions.
• Azerbaijan are winless in all competitions since a 3-2 triumph over Kazakhstan in a friendly in June 2024.

• The hosts have failed to score in their three meetings against the 2018 World Cup winners.

Azerbaijan vs France Prediction

Milli komanda went winless in the qualifying phase of the 2022 World Cup and will look to conclude their ongoing campaign with a win. Notably, their last two wins in the World Cup qualifiers have been registered at home, with the last one coming against San Marino in 2017.

Les Bleus are unbeaten in their last six games, recording five wins. They have dropped points just in the ongoing qualifying campaign, playing an away draw against Iceland last month. They went unbeaten in the qualifying campaign for the 2022 World Cup and will look to conclude this campaign on an unbeaten note as well.

Didier Deschamps will be without the services of Kylian Mbappe, who decided to withdraw from the squad. Eduardo Camavinga has also left the training camp, and Manu Koné was booked against Ukraine and will serve a suspension here.

The visitors have a 100% record in this fixture, scoring 15 goals without conceding, and considering their record in the World Cup qualifiers, they should be able to register a comfortable win.

Prediction: Azerbaijan 0-3 France
