Kazakhstan vs San Marino Predictions

• San Marino have lost their last 22 competitive games
• Kazakhstan have never lost to San Marino

Kazakhstan can inflict more misery on Marino

Kazakhstan are already assured of a playoff spot in their attempt to qualify for next summer’s EURO 2024 finals in Germany, but they can still finish in the top two of their section if they win their final two games and either Slovenia or Denmark slip up in their remaining fixtures.

Luckily for Kazakhstan, they are almost guaranteed to take three points from the first of their remaining fixtures on Friday as they take on minnows San Marino, who have lost their last 22 competitive matches.

The hosts have won seven of their last nine home matches, including an impressive 3-2 win over Denmark in March, and should be far too strong for a side that have failed to score in their last five away games.

The two sides have met three times before with Kazakhstan winning on all three occasions, suggesting another loss is on the cards for the world’s lowest ranked team San Marino.

Action in Astana

Two of the three meetings between these sides have seen over 3.5 goals, and the same outcome looks likely on Friday.

Three of San Marino’s last five matches have seen four or more goals and there could be plenty of action in Astana as Kazakhstan look to build up momentum ahead of what could be a crucial final Group H game against current section leaders Slovenia.

Kazakhstan will do the bulk of the scoring no doubt, with San Marino conceding 26 times in their eight group games so far, however the visitors did score their first goal in qualifying against a strong Denmark side last time out and could add to the total based on that evidence.
