Kazakhstan to win it
We kick off our tips for this game by backing Kazakhstan to win the game. They've been in good form of late with three wins in their last four whilst they've not lost a game inside 90 minutes in seven dating back to their heavy defeat to France in November last year. By stark contrast, Belarus have been having a tough old time of things of late. They've not won in four and have lost two of those games leaving them rank bottom of the group. With all that considered along with the fact Belarus are having to travel makes our tip for a Kazakhstan win look like good value.
A low scoring match
Our next prediction for Kazakhstan vs Belarus comes from the total goals market and we are opting for under 1.5. Now, Kazakhstan have seen four of their last five matches go south of a 2.5 threshold with just one going under 1.5, however, each of Belarus last five have gone under 2.5 with three of them seeing fewer than 1.5 goals. Given the odds on an under 2.5 bet aren't all that exciting, we're cranking things up based on that trio of really low scoring games by opting for under 1.5 goals.

Will Kazakhstan maintain unbeaten start?
This match sees top take on bottom in Nations League group C but it is far from a foregone conclusion as to who ends the campaign where. Kazakhstan look good value to win promotion with a four point advantage over second spot but a win here would nail that down. As for Belarus, they're staring at a potential relegation playoff but with a couple of games to play, they could still avoid that.
Kazakhstan have been enjoying themselves of late but they won't be taking anything for granted coming into this match given they've got a hugely poor record against their visitors. With Bakhityor Zaynutdinov pulling the strings in midfield and Nuraly Alip a solid presence at the heart of the defence, they'll be confident of changing that.
Kazakhstan Key Player – Bakhityor Zaynutdinov's ability to create chances will be crucial
Belarus might be bottom of this group but they'll be looking to get back on winning wagon here against a nation who they've enjoyed a fair bit of success against in the past. For them to do so, the midfield battle will be important. Thankfully, they have Maks Ebong and Evgeniy Yablonskiy in the middle of the park.
Belarus Key Player – Evgeniy Yablonskiy will be tasked with snuffing out Kazakhstan's attacks
