Belarus and Israel return to action on Tuesday when they lock horns in a friendly at the Ferenc Szusza Stadium. Both sides met in the European Championship qualifiers back in 2023, with Carlos Alos Ferrer’s men suffering defeats both home and away.
Belarus were outplayed and outclassed by Russia on Friday as they suffered a 4-0 defeat when the two nations squared off at the Stadyen Dynama.
Ferrer’s side have now failed to win their three matches since the turn of the year, losing twice and claiming one draw while conceding six goals and failing to find the back of the net so far.
Next up for Belarus is the challenge of taking on Israel, who they met in the 2024 European Championship qualifiers last year, losing both home and away encounters.
