San Marino hosts Belgium in round 5 of Euro qualification. The match will be played on Friday, September 6th at Stadio Olimpico (Serravalle)
I wonder what goal San Marino has in the current qualification. To score a goal or not to concede more than 50 goals. But the dwarfs are unlikely to cope with the task concerning conceded goals. After 4 matches, San Marino already has a goal difference of 0–20, and they haven’t played a single match against the Belgians, so the “dwarfs" of world football are likely to concede more than five dozen. I was surprised at San Marino’s match with the Russians, where they lost with a 0-9 score. It seems to indicate that now San Marino is worse than it was in recent years. If we look at the history of their meetings in the qualifications of the previous several tournaments, there were no such results in matches with middle-class teams. Of course, everything will depend on the Belgians in the upcoming match, and Franco Varrella’s men just need to hope that the Belgians won’t be in a playful mood and won’t score ten goals or so...

Well, the Belgian team is like at the resort in this qualification. There is no worthy opponent, and the men of Roberto Martinez are probably somehow bored in such a company. Truth be told, they can set all sorts of records in terms of scoring! Why not try to hammer 50 goals for the entire qualification - it’s a pretty beautiful fixture! The Belgians scored 11 goals in 4 matches and frankly grudged their rivals. Just remember the match with the Russians, where the Belgians won with a 3-1 score, and it could have been 6-1! Kazakhs were spared in the home field only by a 3-0 victory. But San Marino is still a separate planet in European football. If you don’t even want to score a lot these men, they will score themselves. Therefore, if Martinez’s players play without working like dogs, a 5-0 or a 6-0 will probably happen anyway.
The history of head-to-head matches of these teams is quite rich and has as many as 6 matches, which the Belgians naturally won. And back in 2001, there was even a 10-1 score in favor of the Belgians. The teams held the freshest match in 2005 when the Belgians were completely unimpressive as they are now, but still, they gained an 8-0 victory. I think that the upcoming match will end with a very big victory of the Belgians. And the difference will be more than 5 five goals.
Prediction for the match: Belgium to win with -5.0 handicap
