In an inconsequential match between the bottom two teams of Group H of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualification UEFA section, San Marino hosts Cyprus on Sunday. This match at the San Marino Stadium between the fifth-placed La Serenissima and the fourth-placed visitors comes with our prediction of Cyprus -2 European Handicap.
Ahead of this round, San Marino are bottom of the group standings with six defeats out of six. They are out of the qualification race but may still qualify for a play-off spot based on Nations League ranking. Cyprus have five points (W1, D2, L3) and can’t finish in the top two.
San Marino were thrashed 10-0 away by Austria on Thursday for a 59th consecutive loss in World Cup qualification campaigns. That result also extended their poor defensive record, as the hosts have conceded 28 goals in six qualifiers of this campaign.
Cyprus held Bosnia to a 2-2 home draw on Thursday but are out of the race for qualification. This was a second 2-2 draw for the visitors following the same result at home against Romania.
Their last two trips in this campaign ended in defeats without scoring, as they lost to Austria and Romania. In fact, they have lost five of their last six internationals away from home (D1, L5), but playing San Marino could be a boost.

Our San Marino vs Cyprus Prediction
It’s a battle of the bottom two teams, and the result has no consequence in the qualification battle. Yet, Cyprus will be wary of being the team that lands San Marino’s first point of this campaign. The hosts have already conceded 28 goals, and anything less than four here will be a morale booster. Cyprus can at best finish third and will hope to keep the goals coming.
This game could extend the hosts’ agony, and our San Marino vs Cyprus prediction is Cyprus -2 European handicap.
