World Cup - Qualification Europe
The World Cup qualifiers in the Europe zone begin with the match Cyprus - San Marino. Cyprus is expected to be the favorite, although they have not been performing well lately. In their last 21 matches, they have only achieved four victories. Three of them were against Lithuania, and the other one was against San Marino with a score of 4:1, although it was a friendly match. So now the hosts have the opportunity to achieve a victory, which rarely happens for the team.
San Marino has achieved something unprecedented in its history and is no longer considered the worst football team in Europe. They earned 7 points in their group in the Nations League and earned promotion to the higher League C. They have started scoring more goals and, historically, they had only one victory, but now they have three. All three were against Liechtenstein, with the latest match ending in a 3:1 victory as the away team.
Prediction: -1.5 Asian Handicap for Cyprus, 1 and over 2.5 goalsAlthough San Marino has shown improvement, Cyprus remains the superior team. I do not think the hosts will miss the chance to record one of their rare recent victories and I expect them to not be surprised in the end.
