Our prediction for this match:
After holding Slovenia to a 2-2 draw, Malta will be aiming to put an end to their five-game winless run in all competitions when they take on Belarus on Tuesday evening. Malta did well to shock the Slovenians in their last friendly and they are surely capable of matching the Belarusians at Ta’Qali National Stadium. Experienced Birkirkara defender Enrico Pepe is widely expected to return to the starting XI after coming as a substitute in the 2-2 draw with Slovenia.
The visitors, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Montenegro, which is yet another reason why we are going to bet on the home side. As for the away team, all Morozov, Kireev, and Korzun are pushing for recalls to the starting eleven as head coach Carlos Ferrer is likely to make changes to the team that faced the Montenegrins.
Highlighted Team (Belarus):
Belarus national football team have been competing on the international stage since 1992. The Belarusians played their first match against Lithuania on July 20, 1992, but the game was not FIFA-recognized. The White Wings faced Ukraine in their first official match, with the team sharing the spoils with the fellow former Soviet republic.
Belarus have yet to qualify for a major tournament and they have slim chances of booking their place at the 2018 FIFA World Cup. The Belarusians recorded their biggest win on September 4, 2014, with the team rolling over Tajikistan 6-1 in Borisov and speaking of their biggest loss, they were hammered by Austria (0-5) on June 11, 2003.
Alexander Hleb is the most famous footballer who played for the Belarus national team and it is well known that he spent four seasons at Barcelona. Belarus play their home games at Borisov Arena and they wear white shirts and white shorts when welcoming their rivals. The colour of their away kits is black.
