Belarus host Estonia in a World Cup Qualifying European Group E game this afternoon at 5pm UK. The game is the first in the group for Belarus who drew 1-1 with Honduras in midweek. Estonia made a forgettable start to their campaign in midweek with a 6-2 defeat against the Czech Republic - They had taken the lead via Flora centre-forward Ranuo Sappinen on twelve minutes but by the time Henri Anier had scored a second their opponents had scored six goals including a hat-trick from West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek.
You have to go back to March 2019 for Estonia's last International victory which came against Gibraltar 1-0. The bookmakers rate Belarus 2/7 odds on favourites which I wouldn't want to bet on at all - The home side managed just one shot on target in their friendly versus Honduras (FIFA ranked 64) on Wednesday with Estonia on three shots on target against the Czech Republic - They did concede eight on target in this game but Belarus let Honduras create six shots on target.
Summary - Belarus are likely to win this game but they won't make it as easy as the current 2/7 odds suggest. I'll go for a 1-0 or 2-1 win.
