Estonia will host Azerbaijan at the A. Le Coq Arena on Friday in another round of their 2024 European Championship qualifiers.
The home side have endured a poor European qualification campaign so far and are all but out of the running for advancement to the final tournament next year. They were thrashed 5-0 by group leaders Belgium in their last match, marking a sixth consecutive defeat to the Red Devils, a run which has seen them concede 26 goals.
Estonia sit rock-bottom in the group table with one point from five matches. They will be looking to shake off their latest results and return to winning ways this weekend.
Azerbaijan have not fared much better than their opponents in the qualifiers so far and continue to search for their first win. They were beaten 1-0 by Belgium in their last group game but returned to winning ways days later with a 2-1 victory over Jordan in a friendly clash at the Dalga Arena.
The visitors have also picked up just one point in the qualifiers so far and will be looking to add to that tally come Friday.
