Estonia and Belarus go head-to-head in a 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifying match in Tallinn on Friday night. These two are the bottom two in Group E, with the Estonians propping up the table with just one point to their name. Last time out, however, Estonia held Wales to a goalless draw at the Cardiff City Stadium – can the hosts build on that this Friday? Read our in-depth preview for the latest odds and tips.

Estonia Preview – Will the Estonians move off the bottom?
After four World Cup qualifying fixtures, Thomas Haberli’s Estonia have taken just one point from a possible 12. They kicked off their campaign with a 6-2 home loss to Czech Republic. The Blueshirts then lost 4-2 to Belarus and 5-2 to Belgium.
In game four, Estonia finally got off the mark. They headed to Cardiff as the massive underdogs, but Haberli’s boys stood firm to leave the Welsh capital with a deserved 0-0 draw.
Since a 1-0 win in Gibraltar in a friendly fixture back in March 2019, Estonia have won just three of their following 25 matches. Victory at the Lillekula Stadium on Friday would lift them off the bottom of the Group E table. The hosts are priced at 6/5.
Belarus Preview – Can the Belarusians bounce back with a win?
Belarus have taken three points from their five Group E fixtures thus far, winning one and losing four. Like Estonia, the Belarusians have also shipped 15 goals.
Belarus’ qualifying campaign got off the best possible start when they beat the Estonians 4-2 at Dinamo Stadium in Minsk back in March. Since then, however, the Whites Wings have lost 8-0 and 1-0 to Belgium, 1-0 to Czech Republic and 3-2 to Wales.

Estonia vs Belarus Betting Advice
This will be the tenth meeting between these two nations, with both countries picking up four wins each and a draw.

Key Facts – Estonia vs Belarus Betting Tip
- Estonia have won just three of their last 25 matches
- Belarus have lost five in a row
- The Estonians will leapfrog the Belarusians with a home win
These two nations are without doubt the weak links in World Cup qualifying Group E. Neither have a chance of reaching the top two, so avoiding finishing bottom will be the main aim for both.
Belarus got the win back in March, but we fancy Estonia to return the favour on home turf on Friday night. You can get 15/4 for the home win and both teams to score.
These two nations have shipped 30 goals between them in qualifying so far. At the other end, both have netted six. Check out the tempting price of 3/1 for the Estonia win and over 2.5 goals in this one.
