In 2017 the Cyprians participated in three encounters recording 3:1 triumph over Kazakhstan, 0:0 draw against Estonia and 0:4 loss to Portugal. After the first lap of the Qualifiers Group stage the Cyprians share the fourth-fifth positions in the Group H standings with Estonia having got four points with 3-8 goal difference and don’t claim for the higher places.
Cyprus A-team broke Gibraltar at its own turf with 3:1 scoreline in November 2016. I believe that the Islanders will beat Gibraltar this time as well as their level is higher than the hosts’ one. The Gibraltarians’ squad mainly consists of semi-professional football players, while, Cyprus’ roster include players who has numerous caps and performed in the Eurocups. Thus, the rivals’ experiences are incomparable, even though the visitors are not among the European top-sides.
Prediction for the match: Cyprus to win with -2.0 scoreline.
