Belarus vs Kazakhstan prediction, preview, team news and more | UEFA Nations League 2022-23
Seeking to make it three wins from three and extend their lead at the top of Group C3, Kazakhstan visit the Karađorđe Stadium to face Belarus on Friday.
The White Wings, who are yet to taste victory in the UEFA Nations League, will look to end this dry spell and get their campaign up and running.
Belarus were denied their first win in the Nations League as they played out a goalless draw with Azerbaijan on Monday.
Prior to that, they saw their three-game winning streak come to an end courtesy of a 1-0 loss to Slovakia in last week’s group opener.
Belarus are now winless in six of their last seven games across all competitions, losing five and claiming one draw in that time.
Meanwhile, Kazakhstan maintained their perfect start to the campaign as they claimed a 1-0 victory over Slovakia last time out.
They are now unbeaten in each of their last five games, claiming four wins and one draw in that time.
Kazakhstan’s last defeat came back in November 2021, when they were thrashed 8-0 by France in the World Cup qualifiers.
Belarus vs Kazakhstan Head-To-Head
This will be the sixth-ever meeting between the two sides. Belarus have been imperious in their previous five encounters, claiming four wins in that time. The spoils have been shared on one occasion.
