Belarus vs Scotland Prediction (08.09.2025)

Belarus started with a heavy loss in the qualifiers, losing 1:5 away to Greece. Now, once again, they will host on neutral ground. The team has had quite a few draws, but very rarely manages to win lately, excluding some friendlies against relatively manageable teams.

On the other hand, Scotland started with a brave 0:0 away to Denmark. Unlike Belarus, they left Greece with a victory in March, although they later lost 0:3 at home to the Greeks. Before the draw with Denmark, they had three consecutive away wins. Thus, the Scots hope for a victory now to maintain good chances of participating in their first World Cup since 1998.

Scotland needs to show that they are the better team here if they want to keep good chances for qualifying for the World Cup. Belarus does not seem to pose a serious threat, although they will try to at least reach a draw.

Scotland continues to impress with their solid defensive performance. In their first match of the qualifiers, they kept a clean sheet against a strong team like Denmark, which only reinforced the impression that disciplined play in defense is their greatest weapon.

The situation for the hosts is completely different – right from their first match in the qualifiers, they were crushed and sent a clear signal that they could become the absolute underdogs in this qualification. The team rarely finds the way to the goal, and against an organized opponent like Scotland, their task seems even more difficult.

The difference in class is obvious, and the form of both teams heavily tilts the scales in favor of the visitors. I expect Scotland to control the pace and take advantage of Belarus's weaknesses, while also keeping their goal intact once again.
