Azerbaijan will face Kazakhstan at the Haladás Sportkomplexum on Tuesday in a friendly clash between the two teams. Milli Komanda endured a difficult European Championship qualifying campaign and are now gearing up for the UEFA Nations League later in the year.
They locked horns with Albania in a friendly clash on Thursday, suffering a 3-1 defeat as they found themselves three goals down before Djurgardens striker Musa Qurbanli netted a consolation goal in additional time.
Kazakhstan, meanwhile, performed fairly well in the group phase of the Euro qualifiers before crashing out in the playoffs after a heavy defeat to Greece and are yet to recover since. They were beaten 2-1 by Armenia in a friendly outing on Thursday, with Bauyrzhan Islamkhan netting a late consolation goal in his first appearance for the national team since last March.

Azerbaijan vs Kazakhstan Prediction
Azerbaijan's latest result ended a run of back-to-back unbeaten outings and they will be looking to bounce back here. They are, however, winless in their last two games on foreign grounds and could struggle here.
Kazakhstan are on a three-game losing streak after winning three of their four games prior. They have had their struggles on the road of late but should have enough to avoid defeat here.
Prediction: Azerbaijan 2-2 Kazakhstan
