Our Prediction for the Match: Gibraltar vs San Marino
"Team 54" has only recently joined the ranks of official UEFA and FIFA members and represents a tiny enclave. As such, they have quickly become a worthy opponent for other smaller teams at the bottom of European rankings. Both teams had similar outcomes last year, losing all their qualifying matches—eight losses for one and ten for the other.
The Nations League is designed for teams of equal strength. Under the guidance of Ribas, Gibraltar surprised everyone with a summer draw against Wales and kicked off the autumn with a victory over Andorra in a friendly. However, they later missed out on success against Liechtenstein, leading 2-1 in the dying minutes (90+7) only to concede a late equalizer. They also had a missed penalty by Walker earlier in that match.
In the previous round, San Marino's Chipollini was sent off. Nevertheless, Chevoli’s side secured a historic 1-0 victory over Liechtenstein in September, marking their first official win after over 150 matches. They celebrated this achievement with a champions’ parade in the principality, only to lose 0-1 in a subsequent friendly against Moldova.
