Belarus vs. Netherlands – Score prediction (13.10.2019)

Overview.

Spirits have been lifted in Belarus (FIFA rank: #82) after earning all four of their points across the last two games (W1, D1), albeit both games came against rock-bottom Estonia. Normal service may resume here considering Belarus have lost all four of their matches vs higher-ranked opposition during this European Championship qualifying (ECQ) campaign, conceding at least twice in three.
The hosts have scored just once before half-time this qualifying campaign, though each of the last three such matches were goalless at the break. Notably though, Belarus have conceded in both halves in their two games vs top-20 ranked nations (1.5 conceded per half average – L/L HT/FT in both).

The Netherlands (#13) have attracted goals, with only England and San Marino’s ECQ fixtures producing more goals on average than the Netherlands’ 4.6. Interestingly, following their late comeback vs Northern Ireland last time out, the ‘Oranje’ have conceded the opening goal in 12 of Ronald Koeman’s 17 games at the helm. Just six of the 23 total goals scored in the Netherlands’ ECQ games have arrived before half-time (26.09%), meaning the second-half alone averages a whopping 3.4 total goals per match. Moreover, each of their last six 90-minute victories (in all games) arrived by at least a two-goal margin.
