Slovenia vs San Marino Predictions

• San Marino have failed to win any of their last 145 matches.
• The visitors have shipped the opening goal in nine of their previous ten fixtures.
• Slovenia have won to nil in their last five meetings with San Marino.

Slovenia looking for a double

The hosts hit the ground running in their opening match as they came from behind to win 2-1 against Kazakhstan and it means they are now unbeaten in seven consecutive games. They’re desperate to make their first appearance at a European Championship since 2000 and they should be able to record another victory against minnows San Marino. They’ve lost just three of their previous 22 games on home soil and should have far too much quality for the visitors.

San Marino sit bottom of the FIFA rankings and it’s not surprising when you consider they have never won a competitive match. They lost their 76th game in their last 77 outings when they fell to a 2-0 defeat against Northern Ireland and a heavy road defeat looks likely here. They have lost their last five matches against Slovenia by an aggregate scoreline of 20-0 and given the sheer disparity in quality, they don’t stand much chance here.

Hosts to run riot

It’s always difficult to find value in a San Marino game but we want to back the hosts to cover a -3.5 handicap, something they have done in every home game against the visitors.
