San Marino take on the visitors Northern Ireland in the round 1 match of UEFA Euro 2024 qualification. The match will be played on Thursday, February 23rd at San Marino Stadium (Serravalle).
San Marino begin another qualification campaign for a top tournament. It's interesting to know what goals the team sets for themselves in each qualifying cycle. Winning a match, earning tournament points, scoring a goal... It's unlikely that there are any larger goals in mind. As for the upcoming match, the hosts are unlikely to score, and I won't even mention their chances of earning points... Northern Ireland's defense is strong, and it's a difficult task even for much stronger teams than San Marino to score against them. The teams have met four times, with Northern Ireland winning twice with scores of 3-0 and twice with scores of 4-0. San Marino can be praised for losing more and more matches with scores like 0-2 and 0-3. The team is experiencing fewer and fewer crushing defeats, and this can be considered a small success.

Northern Ireland have a real chance of making it to the continental tournament, as the qualifying group is passable for them. Denmark, Slovenia, Finland, Kazakhstan, and, of course, San Marino. It is quite possible for the Irish team to take one of the two spots. As for the upcoming match, it should be an easy win for the visitors, who will calmly take three points. However, three days after this battle, they will face a serious test against the Finns. In the upcoming match, the question is only how many goals will the Irish win by? It's not a given that the visitors will try to score as many goals as possible. Northern Ireland is not the team that actively attacks and scores goals in bundles. It's more likely that the Irish will win with a class score of 2-0, 3-0, and that's it.
From the hosts' side, there are no goals to expect, and the Irish team is not a fan of too attacking football, and they feel more comfortable in low-scoring matches. So, I'll stick to the bet with under 4 scored goals. The worst-case scenario here is a push. It's unlikely that more than four goals will be scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 4.0 scored goals.
