vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Belarus and San Marino start their run in Group 1 of League C in the Nations League with no matches played in the tournament yet, so the useful data comes from recent outings. Belarus have not lost any of their last six: three wins and three draws, 11 goals scored and six conceded. The latest game was a 2-2 draw with Burkina Faso, preceded by a 4-1 win over Syria; before that came a 2-1 win away to Armenia and a 1-0 win away to Cyprus, and further back a 0-0 draw with Greece and a 2-2 draw away to Denmark in World Cup qualifying. San Marino come in with five defeats and a draw in their last six, scoring four goals and conceding 14. The latest outing was a 1-2 defeat away to Azerbaijan, preceded by a 1-2 defeat against Bangladesh; before that came a 0-0 draw with Andorra and a 1-2 defeat against Faroe Islands, and further back a 1-7 defeat away to Romania and a 0-1 defeat away to Czechia. In the two previous meetings, both in 2018, Belarus won each time: 5-0 at home on 8 September and 2-0 away on 18 November. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
