FYR Macedonia takes on the visitors Belarus in the friendly match. The game will be played on Tuesday, March 28th.
On the 24th of March FYR Macedonia got 3:0 victory vs. Liechtenstein on the road that ended its five-match run of defeats in a row. This triumph is more valuable for raising the team’s spirit as Macedonian football players lost their chances to promote to the final stage of the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. Nevertheless, it is always a great pleasure to win, especially taking into account that the last time FYR Macedonia tasted victory was 10 months ago on the 29th of May vs. Azerbaijan 3:1.
On the contrary, Belarus failed its qualifying match on the road vs. Sweden 0:4. It has lost chances even to fight for the promotion to the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia final stage. Even though Belarus showed interesting football last summer, nevertheless, with the start of the official matches it has faced defeats resulted in head coach’s replacement which didn’t lead to something positive at least at the moment as it was shown by the game against Sweden.
FYR Macedonia and Belarus met twice in 2015 recording 0:0 draw and 2:1 Belarus’ triumph. After qualifying matches it is difficult to say who the favourite is in the forthcoming match: Macedonians who took confident win against not the most solid European team or Belarusians who were thrashed by Sweden. I believe that Belarusian will not lose in the match against opponent of the same level even on the road.
Prediction for the match: Belarus to win with 0.0 Asian handicap.
