San Marino vs Northern Ireland Prediction & Betting Tips - Euro
by Devesh Jaganath in Euro Predictions
San Marino and Northern Ireland will kick off their respective quests for a place in the 2024 European Championship main event this week when the pair square off at Stadio Olimpico di Serravalle in gameweek 1 of the Euro qualifiers. Only two teams in each group can qualify for the tournament, and with Denmark being heavily tipped to top Group H, both these sides will be hoping for a strong start to their qualifying campaigns, as an early loss may prove difficult to build on against the likes of Finland, Kazakhstan, and Slovenia, who also feature in this group.

Having not won a competitive international fixture since 2004, San Marino is used to going into matches as massive underdogs, and it’s no different this time around, priced at a whopping 41.0 to win this one. Unsurprisingly, there is almost no value to be had on the visitors, who are returning 1.045 for the win, while a draw is currently showing up at 12.0 and better. With the visitors expected to dominate the match from the first whistle, the half-time/full-time result market looks like a relatively good, lower-risk option returning 1.4 for Northern Ireland to win both halves. For those that fancy the visitors to win by a good margin, the handicap market could be a good option at odds of 1.65 for Northern Ireland -2, while the -3 option could reward braver backers, returning 2.5 and better on their wagers.

San Marino - Northern Ireland: Form Analysis
Ranked 211th according to Fifa, San Marino has endured some of the biggest losses in international football in recent years, including a 10-0 loss to England and a couple of 7-goal losses to Poland and Italy in 2021. The home side has not won a competitive international match since 2004 and has gone 76 matches without a win since a hybrid friendly against Bellaria Igea in 2014. Meanwhile, Northern Ireland, ranked 59th in the world, failed to cover themselves in glory in the UEFA Nations League last year, finishing third in League C Group 2, behind Greece and Kosovo, while only beating Cyprus in fourth by goal difference. Over those six matches, the visitors managed only one win, two draws, and three losses.

San Marino & Northern Ireland Squad Analysis
San Marino will have a full contingent coming into this match, barring any late injuries, and is strongly expected to maintain the same squad that put on a resilient display against St Lucia toward the end of last year. However, it’s a completely different story for Michael O’Neill on his return to the Northern Ireland dugout with as many as seven players already ruled out through injury. Jonny Evans was the latest to pull out of the national squad as the Leicester City man has been unable to shake off a hamstring injury in time for kickoff. Stuart Dallas, Shane Lavery, Alli McCann, and Liam Boyce are the other notable absentees for the visitors.

Our San Marino vs Northern Ireland Prediction
Big score lines have become a common thing with matches involving San Marino. The hosts are always a spirited opposition but usually lack the technical ability required to put up a fight against most of the bigger football nations. While Northern Ireland has been far from their best in recent years, their 152-rank advantage over this opposition tells a story in itself about the gulf in class between these sides. The visitors will see this as the perfect opportunity to get their tournament off to the perfect start with a strong goal advantage. Our San Marino v Northern Ireland prediction is on the half-time/full-time market for the visitors to win both.
