Switzerland to Win-to-Nil
These teams met only three times in the past with the first match being played in 1999. All three games were won by Switzerland, and in each Belarus failed to score. The last time they met regarding this Belarus vs Switzerland prediction, was in a friendly game six years ago with the Swiss taking the victory with a single goal. Regarding their current form, Switzerland played at the World Cup where they lost in the last 16, they have much more experience playing at the highest level and they will be the overwhelming favorites to take the game with not so many problems. Belarus only won once in their last five matches, and that happened in November when they beat Syria in a friendly encounter.
Over 2.5 Goals
Even though the three Belarus vs Switzerland matches in the past failed to get over the 2.5 goals mark, this time things could be set differently. Switzerland has improved significantly in recent years, especially goalscoring-wise. They have a couple of talented strikers in Breel Embolo and Noah Okafor and are playing an attractive style of football while creating a lot of opportunities to score goals. The last couple of games they played went over the mark while the three beforehand did not. Belarus, on the other hand, only had one match with more than two goals scored in the past five outings.

Team Information, Preview, and Belarus vs Switzerland Lineups
Belarus
Belarus will play their home matches during these qualifiers in different countries because of the situation in Ukraine, and their first match will be played in Novi Sad. Switzerland was always going to be the favorite against a team that never advanced to EURO Finals, and it is unlikely it will happen this time around. Belarus' highest-rated player is the 23-year Maks Ebong who is a member of Kazakhstan's FC Astana. For the match in Novi Sad, coach Georgiy Kondratjev is dealing with an injury to Vladislav Malkevich.
Potential lineup: Kudravets, Polyakov, Yuzepchuk, Shevchenko, Shvyatsow, Klimovich, Yablonsky, Ebong, Bakhar, Bykov, Khvashchynski.
Switzerland
The Swiss played very well during Qatar's World Cup, beating Cameroon and Serbia while losing to Brazil. However, they were hugely disappointing in their last 16 encounters against Portugal by being trashed with a 6-1 result. Switzerland has advanced into the last two EURO Finals losing in the quarterfinals stage which was their best result ever. Andi Zeqiri is the only injured player thus far. Granit Xhaka, the country's most capped player in the current squad, will captain the team against Belarus.
Potential lineup: Sommer, Rodriguez, Akanji, Elvedi, Zesiger, Widmer, Xhaka, Zakaria, Fernandes, Okafor, Embolo.
Starting lineups
Starting lineups are usually released 60 minutes before kick-off.
