After the draw result in the away game in Romania that left Israel in the qualifying picture for Euro 2024, tonight the Israeli national team will play against the Belarusian national team in a game in which they must win. The team that will arrive in Tel Aviv tonight will be missing its central star, and will arrive with a new coach, so will it be able to surprise and destroy the Israeli dream?
After five rounds, the Belarus team is in fourth place at home, with four points. The team has one victory, precisely in the "home" game against Kosovo, which was marked at the beginning of the campaign as a team that will compete against Israel and Romania for second place at home. It ended with one draw and lost three times, among others - against Israel.
The previous match between the teams took place in Hungary due to the war between Russia and Ukraine in which Belarus is involved. Israel struggled in the game as they trailed until the 85th minute until Weisman's penalty and Oskar Gluch's goal directly from the corner in the 92nd minute brought a dramatic win for the Blue and White.
The Belarus national team will be without the central star
The one who scored the Belarusian goal against Israel is the star of the national team, Max Ebong, who plays in Astana from the Kazakh league. Ebong will be absent from today's game due to accumulating yellow card fouls. Two players known to the Israeli audience are Denis Polyakov who plays for Hapoel Haifa, and Ivan Bakhar who plays for Dinamo Minsk and played for Kiryat Shmona last season.
