Belarus should establish more territory, while San Marino looks for selected passages of possession and forward support. The reverse meeting stayed level through the first half before Belarus separated after the interval. San Marino also produced response chances after conceding, making the next possession an important part of this matchup.
Pechenin's delivery and Kontsevoy's finishing remain Belarus's clearest established connection. The later October separation also involved Shumansky scoring and supplying another goal. He and Barkovsky are suspended, and Morozov replaces the previously used Lisakovich among the forward options.
San Marino lose Giacopetti and Michele Cevoli, while Nanni is included in the federation squad. Capicchioni and Lazzari remain available after combining for the equaliser against Albania. I expect Belarus to press forward, with San Marino using those midfield connections to maintain an attacking presence after the first goal. That's why I'm siding with San Marino to keep the defeat margin contained.
