San Marino vs Belarus: team news and expert analysis
San Marino managed to climb from League D in the previous cycle. However, they remain underdogs: since the start of last calendar year, they have managed just one draw — a 0-0 friendly against Albania. They have lost every match in the tournament.
Belarus are finally challenging for top spot in their group. They made a poor start, losing to Albania, but held Finland to a goalless draw in September. Their next matches were technically "home" fixtures, and they won both against San Marino and Finland on neutral ground.
The group’s biggest underdogs average 0.5 goals scored and concede far more, with an average of 3.0. Ebong and his teammates average 1.6 goals scored and 0.8 conceded.
Previous matches: San Marino vs Belarus
Belarus have won all three previous meetings without conceding a single goal.
