Belarus is ranged as 97th team at Fifa list. They havent come close to qualifying for a major tournament since almost making it to the 2002 World Cup. They'll start their challenging European Championship qualification campaign against Switzerland who is FIFA rank 12, looking for their first competitive victory since March 2021....Though they've drawn their last two games in Novi Sad and lost none of the previous three H2Hs by more than a two-goal margin, a surprise victory seems unlikely for Belarus, who have only won against teams outside of FIFA's top 80 in their last two home games. Switzerland, on the other hand, will be looking to make a strong start to the group as the highest-ranked team, with an average of 3.14 goals per game in their last seven matches. Despite winning just one of their last 5 away fixtures, their recent UEFA Nations League win against Spain should give them confidence. Granit Xhaka will be looking for his third consecutive goalscoring game after netting for Arsenal against Sporting Lisbon and Crystal Palace and I will give hand to Swiss team which will be eager to return winning ways.
