Belarus and Denmark will lock horns with each other in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification this week. The UEFA Group C game between Carlos Alos’s side and Brian Riemer’s team will be held at the ZTE Arena in Zalaegerszeg and is scheduled to kick off at 7:45pm UK time on Thursday.

Belarus

Belarus are one of the smallest European nations in terms of football pedigree. They do not qualify for major international competitions and do not even tend to come to qualify for any. As harsh as it may sound, Belarus are just there to make up the numbers.

Carlos Alos’s side have made a poor start to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. Belarus are at the foot of the Group C table with no point from two matches.

Belarus kicked off their World Cup qualification campaign with a 5-1 hammering at the hands of Greece at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus before going down 2-0 to Scotland at the ZTE Arena in Zalaegerszeg.

Team News:

Belarus are likely to line up in a 5-3-2 formation. Fedor Lapoukhov will be in goal for the home team. Sergei Karpovich, Egor Parkhomenko, Zakhar Volkov, Pavel Zabielin and Kirill Pechenin will be the five defenders. Maksim Myakish, Vladislav Kalinin and Max Ebong will be the three midfielders. Evgeni Malashevich and German Barkovskiy will lead the line for Belarus.

Denmark

Denmark are a strong team and have achieved decent success in major international competitions in recent years. Although they are not expected to win the UEFA Nations League, the World Cup or the European Championship, they do tend to progress to the latter stages.

Brian Riemer’s side have made a positive start to their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign. After two rounds of matches, Denmark find themselves at the top of Group C with four points, level on points with second-placed Scotland.

Denmark kicked off their World Cup qualifying campaign with a goalless draw with Scotland at Parken Stadium in Copenhagen. Then came a 3-0 victory over Greece away from home at the Karaiskakis Stadium in Piraeus.

Team News:

Denmark are likely to line up in a 4-3-3 formation against Belarus. Kasper Schmeichel will be in goal for the Danes. Rasmus Kristensen, Joachim Andersen, Andreas Christensen and Joakim Maehle will be the four defenders. Victor Froholdt, Morten Hjulmand and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg will be the three midfielders. Andreas Skov Olsen, Mika Biereth and Mikkel Damsgaard will be the three forwards.

Key Factors to Consider

• Belarus have won 3 of their last 5 games in all competitions.
• Belarus have lost 2 of their last 5 games in all competitions.
• Denmark have won 3 of their last 5 matches in all competitions.
• Denmark have lost 1 of their 5 matches in all competitions.
• Denmark have drawn 1 of their 5 matches in all competitions.

Conclusion

Denmark have the better team than Belarus, and even though they are the visiting team, they are very likely to pick up all three points from this particular 2026 World Cup qualifier.
