Belarus national football team manager Yuri Puntus promised a sweeping change to the line-up of his team for Wednesday's European qualifying game against Bulgaria, compared to the squad that faced the same opponent at the weekend.

"I cannot say anything about tactics, but there will be a lot of changes in the team. You will see a lot of new names in the starting eleven, compared to the game in Minsk," Puntus told reporters on Tuesday at the Sofia airport.

Belarus arrived in Sofia for the second leg of the European championship qualifying group G game against Bulgaria, having lost the first meeting in Minsk 2-0.

"We drew our conclusions and will try not to commit the same mistakes. We will fight for the win until the end," Puntus said.

Asked whether he will have a defender man-mark Dimitar Berbatov, who scored both goals in Minsk, Puntus said he had no such plans, although he went on to remark that extra attention would be paid to the Bulgaria and Tottenham Hotspur striker.

The Belarus team arrived in Bulgaria accompanied by allegations of match-fixing, both at home and in Romania, which plays in the same qualifying group.

Bookmakers in Belarus were swamped with bets on Bulgaria before the Saturday game, which by far exceeded bets on other outcomes, but Puntus refused to comment on the budding scandal.

"I don't take such allegations seriously because I know how hard it was for us to play that match," he said.

It is not the first time that Belarus' national team has been accused of throwing matches, with suspicions surrounding its games against the Czech Republic and Moldova in September 2003.
