Syria vs Belarus Prediction
Belarus had a Nations League campaign to forget, with their sojourn ending in relegation to League D.
They failed to win a single game but have an opportunity to get back to winning ways against Syria. The Syrians, meanwhile, have lost their last three games and are underdogs heading into this game. Belarus should claim a narrow victory and also keep a clean sheet.
