Ukrainewill be gunning for back-to-back victories in Group D when they continue their 2026 World Cup qualification campaign with a crucial clash against Azerbaijanon Monday night.
Currently sitting second in the group with four points from three games, the Blue and Yellows have their eyes firmly set on climbing closer to the top spot. Their visitors, Azerbaijan, find themselves fourth, with just a single point to show from their opening fixtures, and they'll be desperate to change that narrative.
Under the guidance of Serhiy Rebrov, Ukraine arrive on a high after a pulsating 5-3 victory over Iceland in Reykjavik. It was a statement win, one that showcased their attacking firepower, with Ruslan Malinovskyi stealing the spotlight through a stunning brace. The former Marseille and Atalanta midfielder reminded everyone of his class, orchestrating play with precision and unleashing two goals that left Iceland reeling.
Now, Rebrov's men turn their attention to Azerbaijan, a side they know all too well after a frustrating goalless draw in Baku last month, a match that left Ukrainian fans scratching their heads. The Azeris have shown resilience in recent outings, even managing to keep France quiet for large stretches before eventually falling 3-0 to Les Bleus in Paris.

Ukraine team news
Team news suggests Ukraine could stick with a familiar lineup after their entertaining win last week. Artem Dovbyk, the 11-goal marksman, is fit and firing, but Vladyslav Vanat is expected to retain his place leading the line after impressing in Iceland.
The defensive backbone of Illia Zabarnyi from Paris Saint-Germain and Vitaliy Mykolenko of Everton should also remain intact, giving Ukraine a steady platform to build from.
Azerbaijan team news
As for Azerbaijan, Mahir Emreli is once again set to spearhead the attack, eyeing a chance to add to his six international goals. Emin Mahmudov is expected to play a key role in midfield, tasked with linking play and offering creativity in transition.
Despite their loss to France, there were encouraging flashes from the Azeri side, flashes they'll need to turn into results if they’re to stand any chance in Lviv.
