Azerbaijan vs San Marino Prediction & Betting tips
Duel between the last 2 classified of Group C.
Azerbaijan :
With 7 points Azerbaijan and 0 points San Marino, they have nothing to do about the final phase.
Why even winning the 3 remaining Azerbaijan matches, and even giving a series of carambola among the selections above, could never reach the 2nd place of the group that gives the option to play the playoff (the 8 best 2).
But for the top scorer in the game, the key figure for the pick is the following: we reached the 8th day and between these 2 teams have gotten a total of 4 goals in the league (3 Azerbaijan and 1 San Marino).
If we back to the qualifiers for the Eurocopa of France 2016 also did not walk much finer, since at the end of the 10 days of the league between both scored a total of 8 goals.
Specifically Azerbaijan, who got 7, was the 2nd less scorer in their group, improving only the 3 goals of Malta.
San Marino :
San Marino, with only 1 goal at the end of the league, was the worst selection of all groups in this aspect.
Why the next worst (Andorra and Gibraltar) managed to score 2 goals, and Liechtenstein 3.
Some will think that the 33 goals that San Marino has already received may be indicative of a wide rout of Azerbaijan that will spoil us with the forecast, since San Marino has all the numbers to not score.
What happens is that Azerbaijan is very far away in their goalscoring effectiveness of the selections that have most hammered the net of the goal sanmarines in this league, among which is the world champion Germany.
Thus we see that almost half of those 33 goals (15) has gotten them Germany, and 7 Northern Ireland.
In fact, in the first leg at San Marino, only a goal was scored in the Azerbaijani victory 0-1 at Serravalle on 4 September.
In addition, and although it is not easy to perceive the improvements in selections that are in the group of the last ones of the FIFA ranking, my feeling is that San Marino has improved somewhat in the defensive level in the last years.
True that 15 or 20 years ago an “any” European could endorse the 4 or 5 goals of rigor to San Marino. Mixed selection between professional and amateur and always in the last positions of the FIFA world ranking.
But right now it is not a selection so easy to get to the door, and only the big ones of the continent manage to generate opportunities to make the “little man.”
The selections of the last wagon of the continent like Azerbaijan have to sweat a lot and work hard to get the 3 points to San Marino.
Before them this selection of San Marino defends reasonably well. At least until he hits the physical slump of the last 20/25 minutes, in which he often receives as many or more goals as he did in the first 65.
