Belarus vs Northern Ireland Prediction & Betting Tips (12 October)

Having struggled during the last edition of the Nations League during which it finished in last place in its League C group without the slightest victory in 6 matches, Belarus has already done better after the first two days . Indeed, the 97th nation in the Fifa ranking has already collected 4 points in this group thanks to its draw against Bulgaria and, above all, thanks to its 0-1 victory in Luxembourg last month . His first success since last November in all competitions. Following these good starts, Belarus took control of this group 3 of League C. Northern Ireland, for its part, has never really been able to confirm the great promises displayed during the last decade, when she was able to participate in Euro 2016 in France in particular.

It's more complicated now for the British who are no longer really able to do well during the various qualifying campaigns for major international tournaments. In this group, Northern Ireland started with a victory against a disappointing Luxembourg team 2-0 but then lost to Bulgaria 1-0, thus finding themselves in 3rd place in the group. this hen.

Very logically, the group of this Belarusian team is practically unknown to the general public since a large part of the players called up play in the country or in formations of the various Eastern European championships, in Russia or in Kazkhstan in particular. Among the players to remember, we can find the experienced defender Martynovich (77 sels), the midfielders Ebong (40 sels, 5 goals) and Yablonsky (38 sels, 3 goals) and the striker Antilevsky (Hapoel Haifa) who scored 2 times in 15 capes. Conversely, captains such as Lisakovitch (Rubin Kazan, 21 sels, 5 goals), who is undoubtedly the best player on this team, or Morozov (Arouca, 13 sels, 2 goals) are not there this week. Among the visitors, a large number of Northern Irish players wear the colors of English clubs, most often in the Championship.

We think of the goalkeeper Peacock-Farell (Birmingham City), the defenders McNair (West Bromwich Albion, 71 caps, 7 goals), Ballard (Sunderland), Brown (Oxford United) and Hume (Sunderland), the midfielders Saville (Milwall, 53 salt), Thompson (Stoke City), McCann (Preston North End). We also note the presence of top scorer Magennis (Exeter City), who has scored 11 goals in 80 caps, as well as those of great hopes Bradley (Liverpool) and Price (Standard de Liège, 14 caps, 2 goals). On the other hand, the legend Jonny Evans (107 caps, 6 goals, Manchester United) left the selection last June.
