Belarus take on the visitors Azerbaijan in the round 2 match of League C in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Monday, June 6th at Stadion Karađorđe (Novi Sad).
Belarus clearly does not want to accept the status of an underdog. "Syabry", perhaps more consider hockey as the main national sport. But football is also appreciated here, especially since there are traditions from Soviet times. There were some successes, however, it did not reach the final tournament. But still, last year was an unequivocal and complete failure. The Belarusians scored even less points than the other outsider of that group, Estonia (3 vs. 4). However, for now, Grigory Kondratiev continues to act as head coach. The new cycle, June, began with a formally home match against Slovakia. There was already a rather expected defeat, 0-1.

Azerbaijan also have no reason to be proud of something. The "Land of Fire" thanks to petrodollars can afford ambitious projects. Including the development of football in the Caucasus. But if it is easier to achieve a breakthrough in the club, and Karabakh, having recruited legionnaires, has created a certain status for itself in European competitions. But at the national team level, you can only invite quite high-profile coaches. The next one was De Biasi, whose CV included the promotion of the most modest Albania to the main stage of Euro 2016. But so far, in a new place, he has terrible statistics. In the selection for the World Championship, a miserable 1 point in 8 matches was taken - another last place in the qualification. A new cycle began in confrontation with another neighbor, Kazakhstan. In Nur-Sultan, the hosts won due to Aimbetov's goal at the beginning of the 2nd half.
This will be the first official duel between the parties. If in 2018 the Belarusians were able to take the victory (1-0 due to Medvedev's own goal), then last summer in Minsk the Azerbaijanis were able to take a strong-willed victory 2-1, with the decisive goal of Sheydayev in the 92nd minute. Experts view the pair as fairly equal. But still, Azerbaijan looks more confident - we bet on its victory with a handicap of "0".
Prediction for the match: Azerbaijan to win with 0.0 handicap.
