The friendly match between Belarus and Kazakhstan will take place on June 5 at the Borisov Arena. Belarus vs. Kazakhstan: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Belarus
Carlos Alos's side continues their preparation for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, which begin in September. This year, Belarus played two friendly matches, defeating Tajikistan (5-0) and Azerbaijan (2-0). These results mark progress for the team, as they had not won in five consecutive friendlies prior (1 draw, 4 losses). Additionally, during this unsuccessful stretch, the team failed to score a single goal.
- The team has not lost in 12 of their last 14 home friendlies (6 wins, 6 draws).
- The team has not scored more than once in their last six home friendlies.
- Belarus conceded no more than one goal in 11 of their last 14 home friendlies.
Predicted lineup for Belarus (4-5-1)
Pavel Pavlyuchenko – Dmitry Prischepa, Pavel Zabelin, Egor Parkhomenko, Vadim Pigas – Maxim Kireev, Valery Bocherov, Ruslan Lisakovich, Pavel Sedko, Trofim Melnychenko – Yevgeny Shikavka.
Kazakhstan
Ali Aliyev's team will face Belarus ahead of their World Cup 2026 qualifier against North Macedonia. This year, Kazakhstan played two friendlies: they lost to North Korea (0-2) and defeated the Netherlands Antilles 2-0. Overall, the team has not been convincing in recent friendlies, losing six of their last eight matches and conceding 13 goals. The most notable opponent during this period was Uzbekistan, ranked 57th in the FIFA rankings.
- The team has not won in their last six away friendlies (1 draw, 5 losses).
- The team conceded at least two goals in their last five away friendlies.
- Kazakhstan has not scored more than one goal in their last six away friendlies.

Belarus vs. Kazakhstan: Match Prediction
Both teams have not impressed with their recent results in either official or friendly matches. Belarus occasionally manages to secure positive results at home, but their scoring record is not impressive. In their last 16 home friendlies, Belarus has scored more than once on only three occasions. Meanwhile, they have allowed opponents to score at least two goals only three times in their last 14 home friendlies.
Kazakhstan also struggles to score, especially in away matches. In their last six away friendlies, the team has not scored more than once, and in three matches, they failed to score at all. With an important World Cup qualifier approaching, Kazakhstan is unlikely to field their strongest lineup, which could further limit their attacking potential.
I do not expect a high-scoring match, so my prediction is: Total under 2.5 goals
