Belarus vs Albania: team news and expert analysis
Belarus made a poor start to the tournament, losing 0-2 to their current opponents. They then held Finland to a 0-0 draw away from home. In October, they duly thrashed underdogs San Marino, before scoring the only goal in a neutral-venue meeting with Finland to claim a vital win.
Albania featured at the Euros two years ago and made a good impression, despite failing to get out of their group. They also battled for a place at the World Cup, but lost their first play-off match to Poland in March. In the Nations League, they beat San Marino twice and also defeated Belarus in the opening round. However, they slipped up in Finland in October, going down 1-2.
In the fifth round, Goncharenko’s men travelled to San Marino. They won, of course, but by just 2-0. Their visitors hosted Finland on home soil and claimed a crucial victory by the same scoreline.
