Belarus
The UEFA Nations League third-round match between Belarus and San Marino will take place on October 3. Belarus have picked up one point from their first two games, while San Marino have lost both opening matches and remain without a point.
Belarus: first point after a goalless draw with Finland
Viktor Goncharenko's side began the tournament with a 0-2 defeat to Albania before drawing 0-0 with Finland. As a result, Belarus head into the third round with one point and a strong chance of securing their first win in this year's Nations League.
No major squad problems have been reported ahead of the game. Vitaly Lisakovich, who has scored seven goals in 28 appearances for the national team, is expected to feature in attack again, while Maks Ebong is likely to start in midfield.
San Marino: ten goals conceded in two rounds
The start of this year's Nations League has been extremely difficult for San Marino. Roberto Cevoli's team first suffered a 0-7 defeat to Finland before losing 0-3 to Albania.
San Marino have not won since November 2024 and have lost 16 of their last 17 matches in all competitions. In addition, the team have scored just five goals in 19 Nations League games.

Hosts can secure another convincing win: prediction for Belarus — San Marino
Belarus have yet to impress in front of goal, but their opponents offer an excellent opportunity to improve that record. In their two previous head-to-head meetings, Belarus beat San Marino by an aggregate score of 7-0.
San Marino remain extremely vulnerable at the back and create very little going forward. Given the current gap in class and form, Belarus should control the match and secure a comfortable victory.
