San Marino vs Belgium Prediction & Betting tips
No fewer than 209 states are in the world rankings between San Marino and Belgium – that’s all! For the home side is an impossible task and the previous EM qualification is already disastrous anyway. No own goal was scored in previous duels with Cyprus, Russia, Scotland and Kazakhstan.
Instead, it set an average of five goals. In view of the particularly offensively strong Belgians, there will be a peat festival in San Marino. For this, the venue is also very good: The Stadio Olimpico in Serravalle 2006 was already the place where the San Marino national team with 0:13 against Germany conceded their highest defeat so far.
Surely you will be nervous in San Marino given the fact that the bankruptcy to the day took place 13 years ago … The guests enthrone themselves at the top of the table and were able to win their games against the previously enumerated opponents of San Marino all.
The recent three games ended with a clean sheet and only Russia scored in the opening match in Brussels a 3-1 triumph for the Belgians.
San Marino :
San Marino counts only about 30,000 inhabitants – nevertheless the country carries out its own championship. The Campionato Sammarinese has existed for 34 years and the record champion is SP Tre Fiori. The title holder of the league participates in the qualification for the Champions League.
This year, the reigning champion SP Tre Penne took over this national task, but failed already in the preliminary round of the first official qualifying round. The White and Blue were also the first team from San Marino, who introduced a victory in qualifying for the first time six years ago.
In the current squad, like other clubs in the Campionato Sammarinese, they represent a large part of the players and the remaining players compete against the ball in Serie C or D in Italy. Mirko Palazzi of the reigning champion deserves special mention at this point.
The 32-year-old midfielder shot the final goal for the national team for about two years in a World Cup qualifier with Azerbaijan. Since then, twelve internationals have been played without their own goal.
The team is on a good way to break their own and at the same time European negative record. This included between 2008 and 2012 stately 20 games without a goal.
Belgium:
In terms of personnel, Belgium has to cope with three notable losses: Firstly, BVB player Axel Witsel has dropped out due to an adductor injury and although Eden Hazard has been appointed to the squad, it seems that a maximum of one short-term assignment is possible.
For his new employer, Real Madrid, the Blancos king transfer has not yet played a competitive game and Martinez will not take any chances with him given the ease of the task ahead. On top of that missing with the Anderlecht player-coach and ex-Citizen Vincent Kompany an otherwise set center-back.
Against San Marino, the Spanish coach certainly grants the two newcomers in the form of attacking midfielder Yari Verschaeren of the record master RSC Anderlecht and striker Benito Raman of FC Schalke 04 on the other hand, a parole chance.
The latter attacker can look back on a very successful season at his previous employer Fortuna Dusseldorf, where he scored ten goals in 30 appearances. An achievement that already succeeded him in the previous season with even only 28 appearances.
Although the competition in the Belgian offensive department in view of the numerous big names extremely hard, but at least Raman should strengthen the width of the squad in a timely manner. Positive from the point of view of the Belgians is above all the return of a healthy Kevin de Bruyne in midfield.
Although KDB was also in the squad for the last two European Championship qualifiers against Scotland and Kazakhstan and scored against the bravehearts, the stakes soon followed the end of one of several injury breaks in the past season, leaving the redhead at 100 percent worked.
In view of the expected torrent on the part of the guests to offer in San Marino against Belgium in addition to the odds for a double by top scorer Romelu Lukaku. The Manchester United to Inter Milan striker also scored in his first two Serie A appearances in Serie A.
