On 6 June 2022, Serbia will host a UEFA Nations League second leg match between Belarus and Azerbaijan at the Karadjordje Stadium.

Belarus

The Belarus national team has never qualified for major international tournaments. However, they nearly made it through the UEFA Nations League most recently but still lost to Georgia in the knockout rounds, missing out on UEFA EURO 2020. The White Wings now have the experience that they can also qualify for the next Euro 2024 through the UEFA Nations League, but in the opening round, they suffered a 0:1 defeat at the hands of Slovakia.

Azerbaijan

The Azerbaijani team is another team that can only dream of playing in major international tournaments. Their last win came more than a year ago, beating Belarus 2:1 in a friendly, after which they had just two draws and nine defeats in 11 meetings. Such poor results saw the Azerbaijanis drop to last place in the table for FIFA World Cup 2022, and they also started the current UEFA Nations League campaign with a 0:2 defeat at the hands of Kazakhstan.

Expert Betting Tips

The Belarus national team plays quite well in the UEFA Nations League, finishing first and second place in the previous two fixtures. And now the White Wings will try to achieve a decent result, although they have to play their home games on a neutral ground. In the upcoming match, Georgy Kondratyev's charges are also favorites, as the Azerbaijani team has been struggling with results in recent times. In their previous 11 meetings, they lost nine times and drew twice. As a result, we suggest betting on a win for Belarus with odds of around 2.80.

In three cases, White Wings achieved dry wins, the opponents won four more to nil, and only once against Wales, they lost 1:5. We should also not expect an exchange of goalscoring feats in the upcoming match, so the best option for the prediction is that both teams won't score at odds close to 1.455.

The Belarus and Azerbaijan teams are much better at defending than attacking, so they will play cautiously in their encounter. Of course, it will be challenging to play the full 90 minutes without flawlessly, so after the break, it will be possible for them to score goals. With that in mind, it's worth looking at a bet on a correct score of 0:0 in the 1st Half for 2.4.
