The lowest ranked nation in the world, San Marino hopes to salvage and already poor campaign in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, when they host 66th placed Albania. San Marino are also bottom in Group I, with no point after two matches and will be looking to shock fourth-placed Albania, who have three points. Going to this game, San Marino are fresh from a 3-0 loss to Hungary, which followed a 5-0 thrashing by England. In their last four matches alone, San Marino have conceded 11 goals; they were expected to struggle in this group, and so far, it has gone as predicted. San Marino have no goal in their last nine matches and have no win in their last 50 matches, while they are also winless in 25 home matches, only three draws coming off the 25 games. In World Cup qualification matches, they’ve lost 45 straight while they are winless in 68. Simply put, here they’ll be seeking a first ever win in World Cup qualification matches.

Albania registered a 1-0 win over Andorra in their opening game in this group but found the going tough in the second game, falling 2-0 to England. Going by their ranking, and their opponents’ this is a chance to register a second win, and with England and Poland also facing off, it may be a chance to rise to the top two. Albania’s loss to England was their first in seven matches and they’ve won four in the process but they’ve failed to score in five of their last 10 matches. They are however unbeaten in their last five away matches, keeping five clean sheets and winning three. It hasn’t been great for them in the World Cup qualification matches, winning just once in the last five and failing to score in three. Their only wins in the last five away World Cup qualification matches have been against Andorra and Israel.
