Comments and predictions for San Marino vs Austria: Hardly any surprises

Latest San Marino vs Austria team information

San Marino midfielder Matteo Valli Casadei is pushing for a starting spot after coming on at half-time against Bosnia.

In defense, coach Roberto Cevoli is likely to continue to put his faith in the back four including Filippo Fabbri, Michele Cevoli, Tommaso Benvenuti and Alberto Riccardi.

Nicola Nanni is expected to lead the attack, hoping to improve his tally of three goals for the national team.

Meanwhile, the Austrian team will be without captain David Alaba due to a meniscus injury suffered in April.

Feyenoord centre-back Gernot Trauner has completed a one-match suspension following his red card in the UEFA Nations League playoff against Serbia in March and is ready to return.

However, Trauner may have to sit on the bench, as coach Rangnick will likely keep the same starting lineup that won against Romania.

Latest football commentary San Marino vs Austria

As the lowest-ranked team in the FIFA rankings, San Marino clearly knows they will face numerous difficulties in the World Cup qualifiers, even though they entered the campaign with confidence after their success in the UEFA Nations League.

San Marino won 2, drew 1 and lost 1 of their 4 Nations League matches, thereby earning promotion to League C for the first time in their history.

However, when entering the World Cup qualifying arena – where the level is much higher – the tiny team could no longer maintain positive results, losing all three first matches against Cyprus, Romania and Bosnia & Herzegovina.

However, they held their nerve against Bosnia in Saturday's away game, only conceding a 66th-minute goal from Edin Dzeko – thus conceding a narrow 1-0 defeat.

With that defeat, San Marino are still looking for their first point in World Cup qualifying since a draw with Latvia in June 2001.

On the opposite side, Austria experienced disappointment in the March training camp when they failed to qualify for the 2024–25 UEFA Nations League.

Coach Ralf Rangnick's team lost 1-3 after two playoff matches against Serbia, missing the opportunity to return to League A immediately.

However, they quickly brushed aside that result to focus on the goal of participating in the World Cup – a tournament that “Das Team” has been absent from since their last participation in the finals in 1998 in France.

They got their qualifying campaign off to the perfect start with a 2-1 home win over Romania on Saturday, thanks to goals from Michael Gregoritsch and Marcel Sabitzer.

Austria are expected to take all three points in their third meeting with San Marino, following two previous easy wins of 4-1 (October 1998) and 7-0 (April 1999) in Euro 2000 qualifying.
