Liechtenstein
Konrad Fünfstück's side had a break in the last round and played a friendly against Malta, which they lost 0-2. Liechtenstein has yet to secure a victory in the current Nations League campaign, with only two points to their name. The team's winless streak in this tournament stands at 12 matches (4 draws, 8 losses). However, they still have a chance to earn a promotion; a win against San Marino would secure second place and a spot in the playoffs.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last eight home matches in the Nations League (3 draws, 5 losses).
- The team has not scored in 90 minutes in their last six home games in this tournament.
- The number "2" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 6 of Liechtenstein's last 9 home matches in the Nations League.
San Marino
Roberto Cevoli's side drew 1-1 with Gibraltar at home in the last round, equalizing with a penalty in the final moments to keep their promotion hopes alive. San Marino remains second in the group with four points, and a victory over Liechtenstein would secure first place and a promotion to League C.
Defender Michele Cevoli and midfielder Matteo Casadei will miss the game due to yellow card accumulation.
- The team has not won in regular time in their last eight away matches in the Nations League (1 draw, 7 losses).
- The team has not scored in 90 minutes in their last eight away games in this tournament.
- San Marino has not conceded more than one goal in regular time in 4 of their last 5 away matches in the Nations League.
Liechtenstein vs. San Marino: Match Prediction
This match features teams that rarely delight their fans with goals. Even at home, Liechtenstein last scored in the Nations League back in 2018 during the tournament's first edition. Their current goalless streak in the Nations League is six matches. However, they have been defensively solid, never conceding more than two goals in their last nine home games in this tournament.
San Marino has yet to score away from home in the Nations League. However, they often manage to defend well and limit their opponents' chances: in their last five away games, San Marino has conceded a maximum of two goals.
I do not expect many goals in a match between teams with such low scoring records. My prediction: Total under 2.5 goals
