Belarus vs Kosovo predictions and betting tips on June 19, 2023
Belarus
Kosovo
On June 19, Szusza Ferenc Stadion (Budapest) will host the match of the 4th round of the Euro 2024 Qualification, in which Belarus will compete with Kosovo. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.
Belarus
The team is forced to play home matches on neutral fields due to the UEFA sanctions – this time the capital of Hungary was chosen as the base for it. However, “the Syabry”, who had rarely showed good performance, are not in the best shape. Moreover, there are no new players of the level of Hleb or, at least, Kornilenko in the current generation. The previous year brought the victories only in a friendly format – those were the matches against India, Bahrain and Syria, and then there happened a 0-2 score in the battle with Oman. Speaking about the Nations League, the team alternated draws and defeats in the struggle with Slovakia, Azerbaijan and Kazakhstan. The year of 2023 began with a 0-5 misfire in the confrontation with Switzerland. The match against Romania ended with a nice 1-2 score, but the Belarusians scored their goal in the 86th minute of the game. The situation was completely different in the battle with Israel – the team scored quickly and held the advantage until the penalty in the 85th minute of the match, and then Gloukh achieved a strong-willed victory for the guests.
Kosovo
The team is one of the youngest members of the FIFA and the UEFA. It seems that the potential is not bad, but the only more or less serious success is a victory in the debut Nations League at the group stage, which happened at the League D level. Speaking about the previous qualification for the World Cup 2022, there was only 1 win and 5 points in 8 matches. Still, Alain Giresse obviously did not go to Priština in order to struggle for penultimate places there. Being under the rule of the venerable French specialist, the team kept an open mind, starting with a prestigious draw on the field of Israel in March. Still, the 1-1 draw was repeated in the home battle against Andorra in three days. A series of draws continued in the summer, when one more home match, which was played with Romania, ended without any goals.
The statistics of head-to-head matches
Kosovo began to play official matches only in the qualification for the World Cup 2018. There is no surprise that the national team of this country will play with the Belarusians for the first time.
Predictions
Bookmakers consider the nominal guests to be the favourite of the following confrontation. At the same time, it is unlikely that the battle, in any case, will be spectacular – thus, we bet on “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.77).
