31 games have been played since San Marino last avoided defeat in an international game. That was five years ago and their last win over an international side was 15 years ago when beating Liechtenstein at home. They have played four games in this Euro 2020 group and of course they have lost all of them. Not a goal scored (20 games have been played since the last time they got on the scoresheet) and already 20 have been conceded. They started the group with a 5-0 away loss in Cyprus, then lost 2-0 at home to Scotland. The latter was a decent result for them, not so for the Scotland boss who has since lost his job. Two further away games produced a 9-0 loss in Russia and a 4-0 defeat in Khazakhstan. They have played Belgium on six previous occasions, losing all six (naturally) and conceding 33 goals. This is their first meeting with the Belgians in 14 years.

Belgium top this group having won all four of their group games to date. They lead Russia by three points and Khazakhstan and Scotland by six. The Belgians are looking to build on their third place visit in last year's World Cup. Three of their four group games have been played at home. They beat Russia 3-1, Khazakhstan 3-0 and Scotland 3-0 with the only away game being a 2-0 win in Cyprus. Belgium have only lost one of their last 11 games since being knocked out of the World Cup by France. Go for them to get the win here on a -4 handicap.
