  Albania - Belarus   Prediction, Picks and Tips  


 
  
Important decisions will be made on Tuesday and Wednesday not only in the highest division of the UEFA Nations League. In the divisions B, C and D, there is also promotion and relegation during the week. A real final in Division C, for example, will take place in Tirana on Wednesday evening. Albania welcomes Belarus.

Incidentally, this would be equivalent to promotion to Division B, because before the last matchday the red-blacks in the table of group C4 are exactly two points behind the upcoming opponent, who would already have a draw in the Albanian capital to fix the first place.

The fact that the hosts are treated as favorites is primarily due to the fact that coach Edoardo Reja's team already won the first leg in Belarus 2-0 and also presented themselves from a good side at the two international matches so far in November. Both Kosovo and Kazakhstan were defeated at home. Will you now have your third home win within a week?

Before the group final between Albania and Belarus, we dare to predict that a tip on the 2016 European Championship participant will pay off. In terms of quality and form, the 69th in the world rankings currently seems to be a bit stronger than the Belarusians, who only won one of their last four international matches abroad, but still want to march through division D into B.
  
 
 


 
 
  

The Albanian national team could bring a disappointing international match year 2020 to a good end on Wednesday evening. Although the team of the Italian coach Edoardo Reja only won three of the previous six matches in the current calendar year and did not necessarily know how to convince, especially against supposedly weaker teams, the Red-Blacks are about to move up to Division B during the week.

After five match days in Group C4, the 2016 European Championship participant is still in second place. Two wins, two draws and an unnecessary home bankruptcy against Lithuania have so far been booked. Nevertheless, thanks to the 3-1 win over Kazakhstan at the weekend, the “Kuq e zinjtë” has positioned itself to play a final on Wednesday evening.
 
Should a prediction of the home win between Albania and Belarus pay off, the Reja-Elf would overtake the upcoming opponent in the ranking. In the event of a defeat, however, there is a risk of slipping to position three. At least one is encouraged by the fact that keeper Berisha has only had to reach back three times in six international matches. In 2020, no opponent was able to beat the Albanian number one more than once in a game.

In addition, it should be stated that the red and black are qualitatively stronger in our eyes. The failure of youngster Marash Kumbulla does not change that. The AS Roma man could even be replaced by an even younger professional in central defense. The only 17-year-old Ramen Cepele from Hannover 96 became Albania's youngest national player in the 2-1 friendly win against Kosovo and made a good impression. Many changes compared to the recent home win against Kazakhstan are not to be expected.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

  
Regardless of whether the Belarusian national team can manage the promotion to Division B on Wednesday, the conclusion of the international match year 2020 will not be entirely positive. The reason for this can be explained with the disappointing failure in the European Championship playoffs. Belarus drew the short straw against Georgia in the semifinals in October and thus missed the final for their first ticket for a European Championship.

Coach Mikhail Markel's protégés owe the fact that they are now at least going through to the second-highest division of the UEFA Nations League thanks to their two recent appearances in the group. Thanks to the two 2-0 home wins against Kazakhstan and Lithuania, the Red-Greens moved up to position one on the table and therefore only need one draw in Tirana to defend the top spot.
 
The fact that this could turn out to be a difficult undertaking underlines, among other things, the not really good away record. In addition to the already mentioned 0: 1 defeat in the playoff semi-finals in Georgia, a few days ago there was also a 3-5 swat in Romania, where the Belarusians even 0: 4 at halftime. The world number 90. was finally able to thank the opponent that he downshifted two gears after the break and made the result reasonably bearable.

If we exclude the two 1-0 successes from February 2020, as they did not come about as part of an official international match phase, we have to look back to November 2018 to filter out the last game of the Belarusians, in which they did not concede . In view of this and the poorer assessment of the quality of the squad, the odds on the home win between Albania and Belarus should be kept in mind.
