Azerbaijan and Belgium battle it out for three points in the fifth round of the qualifying for the European Championship. In an exciting group stage match this coming Saturday at Dalga Arena, Baku, important points are at stake.

Betting on the draw would have earned you a sound profit the last time Azerbaijan played Belgium. The pair split the points in a 1-1 match, where no one managed to get the upper hand.

Following the fourth round of the group stage, Azerbaijan are currently ranked number five on one point. Meanwhile, Belgium have positioned themselves as number two after collecting seven points.

Azerbaijan arrive at this match placed as number 121 in the FIFA world ranking, while Belgium lack behind as number 5 in the world.

It is possible, however unlikely, Azerbaijan could steal a few points if everything goes perfectly. However, the more probable outcome is for them to finish bottom of the group.

The bookmakers have strongly tipped Belgium to breeze through their group. It would be a great surprise if they don't make it through with ease, thus falling short of expectations.
