As for the visitors, suffering a 5-1 hammering against Slovakia in their last Group E appearance, Head Coach Nikola Jurčević has seen his side lose each of their opening three contests and have all but seen their qualifying ambitions disappear once again. Already stuck at the foot of Group E, a huge part of Azerbaijan s continued issues has been their defensive struggles. Already shipping 10 goals in their opening three appearances, Milli have lost four of their last five matches across all competitions and have not picked up a single victory since November 2018. A squad the is desperately low on both form and confidence, Azerbaijan have also famously struggled when up against Friday s hosts. Never recording a victory over Wales in any of their seven meetings and losing six of those contests, it is also worth noting that Jurčević s men have not recorded a single strike against the Dragons since way back in 2004, a three-match run.
