Gibraltar vs San Marino Prediction & Betting Tips (10 October)

Logically, the Gibraltar selection is one of the worst European nations and it is no surprise that we find it in League D of this Nations League, with other small, entirely comparable selections. This small British territory is only in 198th position in the Fifa rankings and it does not seem able to shake up the hierarchy in the coming years. That said, it has now been 3 games since this selection has lost. After being able to hold Wales to a 0-0 draw last June, Team 54 was able to win in a friendly against Andorra before sharing the points with Liechtenstein in their first match in the competition 2-2.Saint -Marin, for his part, produced a performance that will go down in history by winning his first victory in an official competition last month, beating Liechtenstein 1-0.

This success, once in a while, allows this small Republic landlocked in Italy to lead this group with 3 units on the clock. In fact, we had to go back more than 20 years to find any trace of a victory for this team. This joy was, however, short-lived for the Serenissima who then lost to Moldova in a friendly match a few days later 1-0.

In this Gibraltar squad we find a vast majority of players who play year-round in the very small local championship, many of them at the Lincoln Red Imps. However, a few have been able to export to England like defender Annesley, midfielder Ronan and young attackers Bartolo and Jessop who play in the lower English divisions. The promising Scanlon wears the colors of the Manchester United youth teams. Among the players to watch is captain Liam Walker who has scored 6 goals in 81 caps. The captain Joseph Chipolina will be suspended after being expelled during the last meeting.

On the San Marino side, the entire group summoned for this match is made up of players wearing the colors of teams from the very weak local championship or from Italian lower divisions. Against Liechtenstein, it was the young Sensoli (5 sel) who scored the winning goal. There are also only 3 in this team to have already scored in the jersey of the selection and none has scored several goals with the Serenissima.
