Germany vs. Belarus – Prediction (EURO Qualification – 16.11.2019)

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Close to confirming their place in Euro 2020 after five European Championship qualifying (ECQ) group wins (L1), Germany welcome a Belarus side they beat 2-0 in the reverse fixture. That result means that each of Germany’s last four ECQ wins have seen them triumph by at least a two goal-margin, despite being level at half-time in the last two. Timo Werner (GER) has scored nine goals in his last eight competitive games for club and country. Seven of those arrived in the second half. Opening the scoring in four ECQ games this campaign by the 15th minute, Germany have in fact opened the scoring in each of their Group C games. What’s more, Germany have kept a cleansheet against all the group sides bar the six they shipped against the Netherlands, scoring 20 in return.

Germany are yet to concede in the first half this ECQ campaign. Germany’s last six ECQ goals have come in the second half. Belarus have won only two of their last 14 halves of ECQ football. Three of four ECQ goals scored by Belarus have come in the second half.

Without a chance to qualify for Euro 2020, Belarus (W1, D1, L5) have conceded 1.71 goals per ECQ game, whilst only scoring four goals in response. The one game where they scored first now forms part of a streak of 35 internationals – where a winner was found – to see the team that scored first go on to win. Stanislaw Drahun scored Belarus’ last ECQ goal and has hit the net in each of his last two club games. Despite their poor ECQ campaign, Belarus have made things tough for opponents, with three of their five defeats decided by a one goal-margin, as was their sole win. Three of those four closely fought games saw the decisive goal arrive in the 86th minute or later (W1, L2).
