San Marino vs Cyprus
San Marino will meet with Cyprus in the EURO 2020 qualifying match from group I, where the match will be held at the Stadio Olimpico in Serravalle. In addition this was also the second meeting of the two teams since meeting in 2007 and interestingly from the 3 previous meetings that San Marino has always fallen, the heavy burden is precisely on the host side.
Of course the most recent meeting that must be taken into consideration was last March, when Cyprus was playing at its own headquarters and successfully took advantage of their luck by forcing San Marino to lose 5 goals without reply. Recalling the way the game was Cyprus controlled ball possession with 82% while San Marino was only 18%, this was very influential in making goalscoring opportunities for Cyprus.
P. Soteriou opened the goal taps for Cyprus with 2 goals in stops 19 and 23 then I. Kousoulos, G. Efrem and K. Laifis scored respectively in minutes 26, 31 and 56. It is undeniable that San Marino is indeed a team the worst at the moment, out of the 5 matches that have been played they are always defeated. Not only their bad record, but also never scored 1 goal, even conceding 24 goals instead.
In the Cyprus camp they are also not very satisfying because of 5 matches only collected 1 win, 1 draw and 3 losses. But at least their goal statistics record by scoring 7 goals and conceding 6 goals, not as bad as the host. Naturally, if you consider San Marino is a great opportunity for the opposing team to pick full points. Given the 5-0 down at the previous meeting and the worst team has been pinned to San Marino. Most likely Cyprus defeated host.
