The "Sybry" once again failed to qualify for the Euros but showed some promise in last year’s qualifiers, earning a respectable twelve points by their standards. The "Lions," on the other hand, continued to underperform, finishing last in their group with only four points, even trailing behind Lithuania.
This year, Belarus, still under the guidance of Carlos Alós, has been disappointing. They suffered three losses, including a 0-4 defeat to Israel, and managed only a goalless draw with Malta. Bulgaria appointed a new head coach, Iliev, last November in preparation for this new cycle. Under his leadership, Bulgaria finally secured a win in March against Tanzania in Baku, but most of their matches ended in draws—against Azerbaijan, Romania, and Slovenia.
Belarus has been in the thick of their domestic season, so a couple of familiar names are missing due to injuries. However, the nominal visitors have even more injury concerns, including key players like Delev and Nedelev.
