San Marino

LLLLDL ⚠

San Marino will be hoping to bounce back here after the 1-0 International Friendlies losing effort in their last game against St. Lucia.

An interesting trait of recent San Marino games is the high number of scores with a nil in them.

Taking their previous six clashes before this one, in 5 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would've lost. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen whether that pattern might be maintained in this upcoming match.

Northern Ireland

For their opponents, Greece had 16 shots on goal with 4 of them on target. Dimitris Pelkas (14'), Giorgos Masouras (55') and Petros Mantalos (80') scored for Greece.

The numbers tell their own story, and Northern Ireland have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 10 goals in all. Defensively, Northern Ireland could really do with shoring things up.
