The opening round of the UEFA World Cup qualifiers will see Cyprus taking on San Marino at AEK Arena - George Karapatakis in Larnaca on Friday evening. The White and Blues and La Serenissima are drawn into Group H alongside Austria, Romania and Bosnia and Herzegovina. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Cyprus are hoping that this will be the year that they finally reach the World Cup main draw. Their last qualification campaign saw them lose seven of 10 games while posting only one win.
However, the White and Blues have not been in good form in the lead-up to this competition, losing four of their six Nations League matches, with their wins coming against Lithuania.
In their last 10 home games, the hosts have suffered seven defeats, drawn once and won twice. Again both wins were against Rinktine - one of which was a friendly match in November 2023.
Meanwhile, San Marino earned a valuable 3-1 victory over Liechtenstein in their last Nations League match - a result that earned them promotion to the third tier of that competition.
The result also marked La Serenissima’s first-ever away win and was also the first time they ever scored more than one goal in a competitive match on the road in any competition.
Still, the visitors are the lowest-ranked team according to FIFA and have lost 199 of 211 games, including each of their last seven against their upcoming opponents.

Our Cyprus vs San Marino Prediction
While San Marino pulled off a rare victory in their last match, they now face a much tougher task against Cyprus, who have won all seven previous encounters between these sides.
The hosts have also scored in bulk in this fixture, netting 16 times in the last four encounters, with the most recent match ending in a 4-1 victory in early June last year. We fancy the home side to secure another big win in this one. Our Cyprus vs San Marino prediction is Cyprus wins & over 2.5.
