Estonia take on the visitors San Marino in the round 1 match in League D of UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 2nd at A. Le Coq Arena (Tallinn).
Estonia is now trying to get rid of the status of an underdog. The Blueshirts were once able to earn the right to play even in the playoffs for the right to reach the final tournament. But gradually this team from a modest country with a small population has slipped into the status of one of the underdogs of European football. There are only individual successes, and then mainly at the regional level, such as the Baltic Cup. Or good results in a dispute with another neighbor - Belarus, which won a dispute for the right to finish, although in the penultimate place in the selection. And so there are separate sensations such as a draw with Wales. But, having lost a play-out with Cyprus in the spring (0-0 at home, 0-2 away), now they are forced to play in the weakest division of the League of Nations.

San Marino could be considered the #1 underdog in European football. The Shining Ones are outside the FIFA top 200. Which, however, is not surprising: it represents an enclave of 30 thousand of the population. That is, this is a rather modest regional center, and it is clear what amateurs can actually show, even if they play either for local teams or for the most modest clubs of their neighbor Italy. Even the fact that it turns out to score at least sometimes becomes a success. Last year, it worked out even with Poland, however, they received 7 in return from it. And with England, they got 0-10 at all. And with Lithuania at the beginning of the year, they could almost catch on to a draw, losing 1-2, albeit only in a friendly match. We only note that this time there will be no team captain, Davide Simoncini. However, the defender is already 35, and he was last called up in October last year.
Estonia and San Marino played each other as part of the qualification for Euro 2016. The underdog was able to keep a goalless draw even on his field, and only in Tallinn the Balts scored a confident 2-0 at home. It is clear that Estonia must win, the only question is the goal difference in this case. We recommend betting on the handicap "-2.5 goals"
Prediction for the match: Estonia to win with -2.5 handicap.
