Northern Ireland and San Marino will face off in the MatchDay 7 of the UEFA European Championship Qualifying.
It appears that San Marino may struggle to score against a Northern Ireland team that is likely to create and capitalize on numerous opportunities, potentially securing a convincing victory.
Northern Ireland is eager to bounce back from a disappointing 1-0 loss in the Euro – Qualifiers against Kazakhstan in their previous match.
In 5 of their last 6 matches, Northern Ireland has been involved in games with fewer than three goals per match. During this period, opposing teams managed to score a total of 8 goals, while Northern Ireland netted 4.
Northern Ireland’s manager, Michael O’Neill, can breathe a sigh of relief as he has a fully fit squad with no injury concerns to contend with ahead of this match. The team is in optimal physical condition and ready for the upcoming clash.
Last 5 Games: Won: 0, Draw: 0, Lost: 5, Scored: 2, Conceded: 8, Clean Sheets: 0.
After a defeat in their previous Euro – Qualifiers match against Slovenia, San Marino and their dedicated traveling fans are eager for a more positive outcome in this fixture.
A consistent trend in games involving San Marino has been the inability of at least one team to score. Over their last six matches, this scenario has occurred six times. In these encounters, San Marino’s opponents have amassed a total of 21 goals, while San Marino has failed to find the back of the net. It remains to be seen whether this pattern will continue in this game.
San Marino’s manager, Fabrizio Costantini, can be pleased as he has a completely injury-free squad at his disposal for this clash. The team is in excellent physical condition and ready to compete.
Last 5 Games: Won: 0, Draw: 0, Lost: 5, Scored: 0, Conceded: 19, Clean Sheets: 0.
