The Azerbaijan national football team can gain a point in the match against France in the qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup.
Idman.Biz reports that Fuzuli Mammadov, the former head coach of "Neftchi" and "Mingachevir", said this in his statement to "Report".
The 48-year-old expert said that the team will not lose by a large score:
"After the match with Ukraine (4:0), I read the interview of the opposing head coach Didier Deschamps. The French have already secured their participation in the final stage of the World Championship. The specialist also said that they will give some players a rest in the next match. I think that the French national team has enough quality players. They may give some star players a rest. In fact, everyone in the team is a star. If Mbappe doesn't play, someone else will play."
F.Mammadov added that the match will be difficult for the Azerbaijan national team:
"But we will play at our home stadium. The players have already fought against this opponent once, they know them. I think we can gain a point. Even if we lose, we will show a combative, determined game. I don't think there will be a big score."
It should be noted that the Azerbaijan-France match, which will be held today at the Tofig Bahramov Republican Stadium, will start at 21:00.
