Belarus vs Macedonia Betting Tips

They are certainly the form side right now and have picked up some really encouraging recent results that suggest they may fair better when World Cup qualifying kicks off next Autumn. They are looking for a 3rd straight victory here having beaten Luxembourg last month prior to a shock 1-0 win away to 2nd placed Slovakia on Friday.

It is 8 years since Belarus managed to win 3 games in a row so this would be a significant achievement and with Macedonia rock bottom of the group, there’s no reason why they can’t pick up another 3 points.

The visitors must win the game to have any chance of avoiding the wooden spoon in Group C but they’ve lost 8 of their 9 matches so far and all of their previous 4 away games including a trip to Luxembourg.

Football in the Balkans is pretty strong at the moment with likes of Bosnia, Croatia and Albania all in contention for a place at Euro 2016, but Macedonian football is going nowhere fast. They’ve only won 2 matches in the last 2 years and they haven’t won any of their last 20 away matches, losing 15 of them.

It is over 3 years since they avoided defeat on the road in a competitive game when they drew 1-1 in Scotland and with that sort of record, you have to fancy an in-form Belarus to seal the win here at 3/4.

They aren’t good enough to run away with it but a repeat of their 2-1 win in Skopje earlier in the campaign could well be on the cards and can be backed at tempting odds of 8/1.
