Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 0-4
Belarus
Despite producing a fine display in Thursday’s clash against Moldova, San Marino suffered their fifth consecutive defeat in the UEFA Nations League. San Marino are stuck at the bottom of the standings ahead of the visit of Belarus and it has to be noted that they have yet to find the net in the process. Anyhow, the minnows, will, as always, leave their hearts on the field when they host Belarus at Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle on Sunday evening. The Belarusians, on the other hand, aim to cement top position in the standings and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field. When the two teams met in Minsk in September Belarus crushed San Marino 5-0 and we believe that the history is going to repeat itself. You should bear in mind that Franco Varrella’s men have already conceded 14 goals in the process.

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.
