Azerbaijan vs San Marino Recent Form
Azerbaijan’s recent form has been difficult, with the 2-0 defeat to Malta adding pressure before this match. The team have struggled to turn possession into clean chances, so Mahmudov and Emreli need to influence the game earlier. A confident start would help Abbasov control the mood around the fixture.
San Marino also arrive after defeats, but their 2-1 loss to Bangladesh included a first-half goal from Giacopetti. That matters for this matchup because San Marino need proof they can carry some threat, not only defend. Their challenge is sustaining that threat while absorbing long spells without the ball.

Azerbaijan vs San Marino Head to Head Record
Azerbaijan lead the senior H2H 2-0. They beat San Marino 1-0 away in 2016, then won 5-1 at home in 2017 during World Cup qualifying. San Marino have no verified win or draw against Azerbaijan.
The record favors Azerbaijan, but the fixture still needs a current-form reading. Azerbaijan lost to Malta four days before this match, while San Marino scored against Bangladesh despite losing. That creates enough pressure for Azerbaijan to treat the opening minutes carefully.
Azerbaijan vs San Marino Team News
Azerbaijan and San Marino both enter this friendly after June 5 defeats, so team selection should reflect match rhythm and recovery. The official lineups are expected closer to kickoff, with both coaches able to rotate after playing earlier in the window. Abbasov has the stronger squad depth, while Cevoli needs familiar defensive partnerships.
Azerbaijan should prioritize a sharper attacking shape after the Malta loss. San Marino should keep the defensive structure that gives Nanni and Berardi a chance to counter. Neither team has qualified for World Cup 2026, so this friendly is mainly about rebuilding and preparation.
San Marino Team News
San Marino arrive after a 2-1 home defeat to Bangladesh on June 5, a match that still gave Cevoli useful attacking evidence because Nicolas Giacopetti scored before the break. The squad has been built around familiar defensive names, with Nicola Nanni and Filippo Berardi expected to carry most of the forward threat if San Marino break into transition.
Cevoli’s main decision is how much risk to take after another demanding friendly. San Marino usually need a compact back five against stronger opponents, so midfield spacing around Alessandro Golinucci and Marcello Mularoni should matter more than possession volume. If Nanni starts, he gives San Marino the clearest target for direct balls and set pieces.
Azerbaijan Team News
Azerbaijan continue their Austria camp under Aykhan Abbasov after losing 2-0 to Malta at the same Szombathely venue on June 5. The result increased pressure on the hosts, yet Abbasov still has senior options through Emin Mahmudov, Mahir Emreli, Toral Bayramov, Badavi Huseynov and Shahrudin Mahammadaliyev.
Azerbaijan should rotate with care because the squad needs a response more than a full reset. Mahmudov can control the central rhythm, while Emreli and Bayramov give Abbasov width against San Marino’s deeper block. Renat Dadashov is the natural striker option if Azerbaijan want a more direct penalty-box reference.
