The pair will finish as the top two in Group C4, barring anything majorly unexpected happening. Therefore, this game will decide who will finish as top dogs in the group.
Albania needs a victory to leapfrog the visitors into top spot. On current form, the home win doesn’t seem to be completely out of the question. The home team are unbeaten in four games, having recorded back-to-back wins over Kosovo and Kazakhstan.
The home side are also unbeaten in three Nations League games. A record of three wins in their nine matches in the new competition is not a great one, though. They have also won two and lost two of their last four games in the competition on home soil.
Belarus only need a point to finish top of Group C4. The visitor's recent form has been patchy, to say the least, as they head into this clash on the back of just two victories in their previous five internationals. However, a 2-0 home win over Lithuania last time out could be a pivotal result in the group.
They have an impressive record in the Nations League, as Belarus have won six of their nine matches in the competition, having suffered just one defeat in the process.
The visitors have also shown some awesome attacking prowess of late in the competition, scoring at least two goals in six of their last seven outings.
Forebet predicts that Belarus will seal top spot in the group by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
