Azerbaijan vs Lithuania Result

Eight days. That is all that separates the last meeting between Azerbaijan and Lithuania from this one, after the two drew 1-1 in the UEFA Nations League on 27 September 2026. They are straight back into it on Sunday, and this time there is no excuse for either side not knowing exactly what they are facing.

A draw that settled nothing

The reverse fixture ended 1-1, and neither side has played since without that result hanging over them. Azerbaijan have since drawn again, 0-0 against Liechtenstein on 1 October, while Lithuania beat Andorra 3-0 in a friendly three days earlier. Both go into Sunday unbeaten in their last two, but one of those unbeaten runs has a lot more goals in it than the other.

Azerbaijan have gone cold in front of goal

Azerbaijan have scored once in their last two competitive outings: the single goal in the 1-1 draw with Lithuania, followed by a blank against Liechtenstein. Before that they edged Tajikistan 1-0 in a friendly on 23 September. Three matches, two goals. The heavy wins over Saint Lucia and Sierra Leone back in March belong to a different competition against different opposition, and they tell you nothing about how this side scores against a team of Lithuania's level.

Lithuania arrive scoring more freely

Lithuania have found the net in four of their last five internationals. They put three past Andorra, got their goal in the draw with Azerbaijan, and won 2-0 away at Liechtenstein before that. Their one blank came back in March, a 2-0 defeat away to Georgia. Of the two sides meeting on Sunday, Lithuania are the ones who have looked more likely to score when they take the field.
