Belarus vs San Marino team news and expert analysis
Belarus finished third in their group in the previous Nations League campaign. In qualifying, they managed to pick up just a couple of points in a group featuring Scotland, Denmark and Greece. On the other hand, the team were generally successful in their friendlies. They did lose in Albania, though, and after traveling to Finland, they managed only a goalless draw.
San Marino surprised everyone by winning their group in the previous edition of the tournament, with seven points proving enough in a group with Gibraltar and Liechtenstein. However, qualifying once again brought no points at all — eight defeats. They also kept a clean sheet only against Andorra in their friendlies, with that match ending 0-0. In the opening round, they were thrashed 0-7 by Finland. They suffered a less painful but still heavy 0-3 defeat to Albania.
Goncharenko's side score 1.2 goals per game, while conceding 1.6. The perennial underdogs average 0.4 goals scored and concede 3.8 per match.
