Gibraltar heads into their final Group D1 Nations League match against San Marino as the favorites, aiming to secure promotion to League C. Here’s our prediction for the encounter.
San Marino has the opportunity to register a second win in this group, having previously defeated Liechtenstein, who sit at the bottom. However, they come into this match after a disappointing 2-0 loss to Andorra in a friendly, marking the third time they have failed to score. Despite this, they hold the advantage of having a game in hand, which could be crucial in their quest for improvement.
For Gibraltar, this match is pivotal. A victory would secure them top spot in the group with an unassailable eight points, solidifying their promotion hopes. They remain the only unbeaten team in League D, with two draws in their three matches so far. However, their recent form shows three draws in their last five games, which could raise concerns about their ability to convert opportunities into wins.
Given Gibraltar’s strong position and the stakes involved, they will be motivated to secure a win. San Marino’s struggles in attack and Gibraltar’s unbeaten run suggest that the visitors will have the upper hand.
We predict a 1-0 victory for Gibraltar, allowing them to clinch the top spot in their group and achieve their goal of promotion to League C.
