Fantasy Picks
Goal-Keeper
Given Belarus’ horrendous record defensively when playing away from home with the side shipping in 8 goals in its last three away matches, Egor Khatkevich will hold a pivotal role in the side’s aspirations for a win today. He’s been a safe pair of gloves this season, a shot stopper bestowed with the acumen needed to keep attacking plays at bay.
Defenders
The only reason Albania have continued to remain in the hunt for promotion is due to the team’s impeccable brand of defensive football. The club has been immaculate at the back, letting in just two goals, a period which has seen the club record three cleansheets.
This compact and resilient brand of defending sees us opt for the three defenders from the club for the affair. We begin with Ardian Ismajli who scored for the side the last time they took to the middle with the akin attacking inclined Elseid Hysaj accompanying him.
Berat Djimsiti completes the set of picks from the side.
Midfielders
Evgeni Yablonski has turned into a quiessential player across Belarus’ last two matches. He’s scored in both of them, strikes which see him become a must have pick for us.
Max Ebong scored in the side’s last outing as well to see him give Evgeni company with the intriguing Igor Stasevich completing the triad from the side. The home side on the other hand will see us opt for the services of Ledian Memushaj with the player capable of both recovering the ball and turning over possession.
Strikers
Top scoring for the hosts with two goals, Sokol Cikalleshi was an instant pick for us with Rey Manaj who scored in the side’s previous outing forming the duo from the country. Belarus will see top scorer with the two goals and one assists, Vitali Lisakovich complete our set of picks for the encounter.
Captain And Vice-Captain
Sokol’s goal in Albania’s last tie sees him emerge as our captain with Vitali being inducted as the vice-captain.
