Liechtenstein 1-3 San Marino

Current streaks

Recent form

Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein's recent form paints a picture of a side struggling for consistency, with just one win in their last six matches. The team have shown resilience in defence, managing three clean sheets and conceding less than a goal per game on average. However, their attacking output remains a concern, with only three goals scored across these six fixtures. Notably, Liechtenstein have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches seeing fewer than 2.5 goals. Their ability to grind out draws against higher-ranked opponents like Romania and Gibraltar is commendable, but the loss to San Marino – a team often considered one of the weakest in international football – will be a disappointment. The recent 2-2 draw with Gibraltar stands out as their highest-scoring game in this period, suggesting a potential improvement in their attacking capabilities.

San Marino

San Marino's recent form shows some signs of improvement, despite their overall struggles. The team have managed to break their losing streak with a draw against Gibraltar in their most recent match, following a run of three consecutive defeats. Notably, San Marino secured a rare victory against Liechtenstein in the UEFA Nations League, which stands out as a significant achievement for the typically underperforming side. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, with five out of six matches seeing under 2.5 goals, and they've managed to keep one clean sheet. However, scoring remains a challenge, with San Marino netting just 0.5 goals per game on average. The friendly against Cyprus stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, with San Marino conceding four goals in that match. Despite their difficulties, the team have shown some resilience, avoiding heavy defeats in most of their recent outings.

Recent home/away form

Liechtenstein

Liechtenstein's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with a noticeable improvement in their last two matches. After a worrying run of four consecutive home defeats, during which they failed to score a single goal, Liechtenstein have shown signs of recovery. They managed a goalless draw against Gibraltar and a narrow 1-0 victory over Hong Kong, securing their first win and clean sheets in this six-game stretch. Despite the positive turn, their offensive output remains a concern, having scored only once in these six matches, averaging a mere 0.17 goals per game. Defensively, they've been more solid in recent outings, but the 4-0 loss to the Faroe Islands stands out as a particularly heavy defeat. With 83% of their games seeing under 2.5 goals, Liechtenstein's home matches tend to be low-scoring affairs, reflecting their defensive approach and struggle to find the back of the net.

San Marino

San Marino's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the team suffering six consecutive defeats in their last six matches. The Sammarinese side have struggled to find the back of the net, scoring only once in this period, resulting in a meagre average of 0.17 goals per game. Defensively, they have also been vulnerable, conceding 14 goals at an average of 2.33 per match. Notably, San Marino have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of these games, with half of the matches seeing over 2.5 goals scored. Their heaviest defeat came against Slovakia in a 4-0 loss, while their sole goal in this run was scored in a 3-1 defeat to Kazakhstan. The team's goal difference of -13 over these six matches highlights their ongoing struggles on the road.
