Kazakhstan and Belarus will meet in League C in one of the matches of the 5th round of the UEFA Nations League group stage. Who will be stronger?
Kazakhstan
The national team of Kazakhstan strives to rise in class and break into the B League, and the desire is fully supported by the case. After four matches played Kazakhstan has ten points and leads the standings of Group 3, ahead of Slovakia by four points. And this means that if Kazakhstan will achieve victory in the reporting confrontation, then for the round before the end of the group stage it will ensure its entry into the higher League. As for the results, Kazakhstan beat Slovakia twice (1-0 and 2-1), Azerbaijan once (2-0), and there was also a draw with Belarus (1-1).
Belarus
Belarus does not even dream of any promotion in the class, because it has already lost its chances for first place, eight points behind it two rounds before the finish. Moreover, she needs to solve another task - to keep her place in the C League, which was under threat. In the opening round Belarus lost 0-1 to Slovakia, and in the fourth round it was weaker than Azerbaijan (0-2). Between the losses there were two peaceful outcomes - 0:0 with Azerbaijan and 1:1 with Kazakhstan. With two points, Belarus closes the table, lagging behind the third position by two points.
Statistics and figures:
- Kazakhstan goes undefeated - 3 wins and a draw;
- Belarus has not won yet - 2 losses and 2 draws;
- Kazakhstan and Belarus played 1-1 in the first round game.
Forecast
Some people need a victory to qualify for the B League, and others to leave the relegation zone. I think that in the upcoming game, as in the previous one, the national teams will be able to exchange goals.
