San Marino Norway betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This clash tends to be somewhat unbalanced, considering that, despite facing two teams that no longer have chances to qualify for the 2018 World Cup, the home team has one of the worst teams in the world, so much so that it is among the last placed in the FIFA Ranking. In addition, San Marino is the team that conceded more goals in these 8 rounds taking into account all European teams, while, on the other hand, scored only 2 goals in these matches. Given the great fragility of San Marino, we believe that Norway will assert its superior squad, taking advantage of the opponent's poor defensive system and win the match for a good margin of goals.

Preview
San Marino and Norway 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 8 losses, the home team is currently in the 6th position, with no points won. In the last match, they have lost (5‑1) in an away match against Azerbaijan, after in the previous round they have lost (0‑3) at home against Northern Ireland. 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 4 WC Qualification Europe home matches San Marino has a record of 4 losses.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 8 losses in the last matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in all of the last 8 matches, and their offense needs to do better, since they haven’t scored goals in 6 of the last 8 matches for this competition. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. In fact, they haven’t opened up the score in the last 8 matches for the WC Qualification Europe. In 8 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

San Marino is only 204th placed in the FIFA rankings, no longer has chances of qualifying for the World Cup in Russia and is one of 4 teams that has lost all the matches played in the qualifiers. The team is now looking for at least one point in this final stretch, something unlikely because of the extremely low quality of its athletes. The poor campaign can be explained by the great fragility of the offensive and defensive systems, having scored only 2 goals, being the worst attack of Group C, and conceded 38 goals, having the most leaked defense. 
Considering the home matches, San Marino lost all the four matches played without scoring a goal, while conceding 18 goals in these games, proving that not even in front of its fans has achieved at least reasonable performances.

Confirmed Lineup: Aldo Simoncini, Andrea Grandoni, Cristian Brolli, Michele Cevoli, Mirko Palazzi, Davide Simoncini, Michele Cervellini, Alex Gasperoni, Filippo Berardi, Michael Battistini, Marco Bernardi.
Coach: F. Costantini.

Analysis Norway

The away team is currently in the 5th position, with 7 points won, after 2 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses. In the penultimate round, they have won a home match against Azerbaijan by (2‑0). In the last round, they have lost an away match against Germany by (6‑0). 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 3 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses in away matches, with 11 goals scored and 31 conceded; against 7 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 12 conceded. In the last 4 WC Qualification Europe away matches Norway has a record of 4 losses.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 4 losses in the last away matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition. In their away mathes there is a tendency for goals, since 6 of the last 9 matches have ended with Over 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 2 of the last 8 matches for the WC Qualification Europe, they have reached half‑time in front in all of those 2 matches and held on to the lead until the end of the 90' in all of them. In 8 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 6 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Norway participated in its last World Cup in 1998, but since then the team seems to be regressing to this penultimate round of the qualifiers with no chance of qualification. The team has been struggling in the defense and attack, having scored only 8 goals, being the second worst attack of Group C, and conceded 16 goals, having the second most leaked defense. 
Considering the away matches, Norway has not scored after 4 matches and the most worrying is that they scored only 1 goal away, having the worst offensive performance as away team in Group C. The team usually works best in attack in the second half, as 6 of its 8 goals were scored in the second stage, especially in the final 15 minutes where 4 of its 8 goals occurred.

Confirmed Lineup: Rune Jarstein, Jonas Svensson, Birger Meling, Håvard Nordtveit, Gustav Valsvik, Martin Linnes, Sander Berge, Mohamed Elyounoussi, Markus Henriksen, Joshua King, Alexander Sørloth.
Coach: S. Solbakken.
