San Marino vs Russia
This year’s EURO qualification is likely to be San Marino’s worst campaign in history. The suffering hasn’t ended yet because they still have one Group I party facing Russia. The clash was held at San Marino Stadium.
The host had just visited by Kazakhstan last Sunday (17/11) and was silenced with a score of 1-3. They did perform poorly with 3 shots on target from 23% possession, while the visitors managed to create up to 8 chances. These results also add to the poor record of San Marino because they have not reaped the numbers at all and have conceded 46 times.
The sad news also came from Russia who hosted Belgium. They were also crushed with a landslide score, 1-4, in this match. The possession of the two national teams is quite balanced, but the visitors are sharper with 8 shots on target which is only half-answered by the host.
The match against San Marino will be an outlet for Russia. This threat is not just gibberish, because they have won 9-0 in the first round. Russia also lost just once in the away match, again against Belgium, the rest continued to win over Kazakhstan, Scotland and Cyprus.
With a note like this, San Marino seems to have to close this year’s qualifications without any points at all and languishing in the position of caretaker. It’s different with Russia, which has been confirmed to qualify as runner-up, and only looks for victims of impingement.
Our Prediction: Over 3.5
