Match Preview

San Marino , tipped to occupy the bottom spot in World Cup Qual. UEFA Group C, are performing the way the narrative had suggested they would. Head Coach Pierangelo Manzaroli has watched his side suffer convincing defeats in each of their eight Group games before today’s San Marino vs Norway preview. The part-timers are familiar with being on the wrong side of drubbings, so the thirty-eight times they have conceded so far shouldn’t affect what little confidence they have. San Marino haven’t won an international football match since 2004 when they beat fellow minnows Liechtenstein 1-0 in a friendly contest.

The away team are rightfully favourites to record a convincing win in the bookmaker’s soccer odds for Thursday, but the Norwegians are a far cry from their teams of old when the crux of their side played at a high level of club football. Currently, Per-Mathias Høgmo’s side sit just one place above their opponents this week and even though most will tip them to win in any San Marino vs Norway betting tips, Norway’s chances of qualifying for the World Cup are nearly as slim as their opposition’s on Thursday. Their 0-6 mauling by Germany in their most recent qualifier brought to an end a three-game unbeaten run.

Late goals from Diomande, Samuelsen, and Bournemouth’s Josh King helped the Scandinavians triumph over S. Marino in the teams’ only international meeting last October. Mattia Stefanelli’s consolation goal for the visitors was just the second goal they had scored in their qualification games so far.

San Marino vs Norway Prediction and Betting Advice

The home team rarely avoid a serious hammering whenever they take to the pitch. Ahead of our San Marino vs Norway bets, there has been over 3.5 goals in four of their last five matches. Looking further back, there has been over the same number of goals in eight of their previous twelve. The minnows have conceded twenty-three times in their most recent four games alone. Their ramshackle defence always looks like conceding plenty and Thursday should be no different.

When the nations took to the field to battle in October 2016 in Oslo, the Norwegians predictably came out on top, eventually winning 4-1, one of only two Group C victories to their name. As we can see, the over 3.5 goal mark was easily surpassed that day. Pierangelo Manzaroli’s men have shipped seventeen goals in their last three Group C qualifiers at home – the scope for goalmouth action is huge so we recommend you to take advantage of 10Bet’s immense quality of odds and prices for Thursday’s game.

Should the Norwegians do the business professionally on Thursday, they could jump ahead of the Czech Republic and Azerbaijan into the 3rd spot in Group C. Their desperation to improve their position is an influence on our football tips, in that we expect them to start proceedings in mid-week at a ferocious pace. In all but one of the hosts’ eight Group fixtures since last year, they have been trailing half time and full time. That means on each occasion, this selection would have been successful.

The home country’s 0-3 loss to Northern Ireland on September 1st was the only time in twelve matches that they hadn’t conceded at least one first half goal. Our free OddsDigger San Marino vs Norway predictions have to take that record into account as well as the hosts’ horrific defensive numbers. Bet-at-home is the bookie with the best value for this pick so our advice is to stick with them.
