Lithuania arrive on the back of a 2-0 win over Liechtenstein but their last five games show just 4 goals scored and 2 clean sheets, with BTTS triggered zero times in that run. Azerbaijan are more active going forward - 10 goals in five outings - yet they have also conceded 7 and their results are wildly mixed, from a 6-1 thrashing of Saint Lucia to a 0-2 defeat to Malta. No head-to-head data exists, so we lean entirely on recent form.
The numbers that drive the model: Lithuania scored in only 2 of their last 5 matches and produced just 1 over-2.5 game. Azerbaijan hit over 2.5 in 3 of 5, but two of those came against Saint Lucia and France - outlier contexts. Strip those out and the baseline tilts low. Market prices Under 2.5 at 1.50-1.51 across books.
Verdict: Under 2.5 goals at 1.50. Lithuania's chronic scoring issues cap the ceiling, and Azerbaijan's inconsistency away from home keeps a blowout unlikely. Modest confidence - Nations League D is unpredictable - but the price is fair value.
