San Marino Northern Ireland betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This mach tends to be very unbalanced, considering that it is a clash between two teams completely different in the technical quality, being the home team among the 10 worst national teams in the world, while the away team has been doing a great campaign and has good chances to qualify to the World Cup 2018. In addition, Northern Ireland has been performing well in both the offensive and defensive systems, while San Marino has the worst attack and the most inefficient defense among all European teams competing in the qualifying rounds, and besides comes from a (6-0) defeat against Czech Republic. Considering these factors, we believe that Northern Ireland will control the match, taking advantage of San Marino's great weaknesses and win for a good margin.

Preview
San Marino and Northern Ireland face at Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle, in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (1st Round). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis San Marino

After 6 losses, the home team is currently in the 6th position, with no points won. In the last match, they have lost (7‑0) in an away match against Germany, after in the previous round they have lost (0‑6) at home against Czech Republic. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 15 losses in away matches; against 1 win, 2 draws and 12 losses at their stadium. In the last 7 home matches San Marino has lost 7.

They have lost the last 6 matches for this competition. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 6 matches, and their offense needs to do better, since they haven’t scored goals in 5 of the last 6 matches for this competition. The team has had a hard time trying to score first. Sure enough, they haven’t opened up the score in the last 14 matches. They have conceded the first goal in 14 of their 14 matches, and have never been able to turn the score around.

San Marino is only 204th placed in the FIFA ranking and has no chance to qualify to the 2018 FIFA World Cup with the goal of at least one point in these qualifiers, something that has not yet happened after 6 rounds . The team is characterized by an ineffective attack that scored only 1 goal and is the worst of Group C, while the defense has suffered 30 goals and is the most leaked, making clear the major deficiencies in both the offensive and defensive sectors. San Marino played three home matches in the play-offs, having lost all of them without scoring a single goal, while his defense conceded 15 goals, showing bad performances even in home matches, since the team has lost 9 of the last 10 home matches for all competitions without scoring a goal. In general, the team's only goal occurred in the second half, more exactly between (45 - 60)'.

Confirmed Lineup: Aldo Simoncini, Giovanni Bonini, Andrea Grandoni, Mirko Palazzi, Davide Simoncini, Juri Biordi, Michele Cervellini, Michael Battistini, Filippo Berardi, Marco Bernardi, Danilo Rinaldi.

Analysis N. Ireland

The away team is currently in the 2nd position, with 13 points won, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match against Norway by (2‑0). In the last round, they have won an away match against Azerbaijan by (0‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 12 goals scored and 13 conceded; against 10 wins, 3 draws and 2 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 8 conceded. In the last 10 away matches Northern Ireland has won 3, tied 4 and lost 3. Defensive consistency has been one of their best features, as they have only conceded goals in 1 of the last 6 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 5 of the last 10 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 9 out of 10 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 5 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Northern Ireland has been making a good campaign in the playoffs in a tricky group and is looking for the second place in Group C, since Germany should remain as the leader of Group, having won all the matches played. The team is characterized by an attack of good quality that has scored 11 goals and is the second most positive of its group, while the defense has been the great asset of the team, since only conceded 2 goals and is the second most efficient, demonstrating good balance between the offensive and defensive sectors. Northern Ireland has a record of 3 away games in the play-offs, having won 1, tied 1 and lost 1, with an average of 0.33 goals scored and 0.67 goals conceded per match, evidencing the need of a little more regularity and more goals scored in away matches. On the whole of the qualifiers, with all 6 matches played, the team tends to be more efficient offensively in the second half, since 6 of their 11 goals were scored in this period, especially in the last 15 minutes, with 5 goals.

Confirmed Lineup: Michael McGovern, Connor McLaughlin, Aaron Hughes, Jonny Evans, Chris Brunt, Oliver Norwood, Steven Davis, Stuart Dallas, Josh Magennis, Kyle Lafferty, Conor Washington.
