Ukraine vs Azerbaijan Prediction and Betting Tips | October 13th 2025

Ukraine will take on Azerbaijan at the Józef Piłsudski Cracovia Stadium in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Monday. The visitors are winless in their three games in the ongoing qualifiers, while the Blue and Yellow have one win to their name.

Zbirna are unbeaten in their last two games and registered their first win of the qualifying campaign on Friday, with a 5-3 triumph over Iceland. Ruslan Malinovskyi bagged a brace while Oleksiy Hutsulyak, Ivan Kalyuzhnyi, and Oleh Ocheretko were also on the scoresheet.

Milli komanda met France in their previous outing last week and suffered a 3-0 away loss. They failed to score for the second time in three games and will look to return to goalscoring ways here.

Ukraine vs Azerbaijan Prediction

The Blue and Yellow conceded three goals for just the second time in 2025 last week against Iceland and will look to improve upon that defensive record. Nonetheless, they also scored five goals in a match for the first time since 2022 and will look to build on that prolific form.

Milli komanda head into the match on a 13-game winless streak. They have conceded at least two goals in 10 games in that period and will look to improve upon that performance here. Notably, they have failed to score in two of their three meetings against the Blue and Yellow.

Zbirna have an unbeaten record against the visitors and should be able to eke out a narrow win.
