Match Prediction: Belarus vs Denmark
The Belarusian team had a disastrous start to the current World Cup qualification campaign, with two losses and an aggregate score of 1:7. Even on home soil, this national team has not achieved respectable results for a long time: Belarus suffered six defeats in their last seven home matches in European qualifiers. Furthermore, the team has not kept a clean sheet in any of their last nine home World Cup qualifiers, conceding a total of 19 goals during this period.
The Danes are performing confidently away from home and are ready to extend their successful run: in their last ten away matches in World Cup qualification, the national team has secured nine victories. Moreover, in six of these encounters, Denmark breached their opponents’ defense at least three times. Specifically, in their previous away match against Greece, Brian Riemer’s charges scored three goals against the Greeks.
I believe Denmark will not face significant problems in this match, and I anticipate a high-scoring game. My prediction: “Away Win (P2) and Total Goals Over 2.5.”
