COULD IT BE ONE OF FOOTBALL'S MOST HISTORIC EVENINGS TOMORROW?

We all love an underdog and I've written about San Marino's International Football Team for many years - Could tomorrow night be one of the most historic nights in football in recent times as San Marino host Liechtenstein in a UEFA Nation's League D Group One game. 

San Marino and Liechtenstein have played six times before with San Marino winning one which to date was their only victory back in April 2004 in a friendly. The Blue-Reds have won four and their have been two draws. 

Liechtenstein's last victory came back in October 2020 when they won 1-2 in Luxembourg in a friendly with their last competitive win being in September 2020 when won 0-2 in San Marion in a Nations League game.

Since the Luxembourg game they have played thirty-nine games with five draws and thirty-four defeats. They have drawn two of their last four games being a 1-1 draw in Latvia and a 0-0 draw last time out in Romania. 

The match is FIFA Ranked 210 v 199. 

Could it be a memorable victory in a competitive game for Roberto Cevoli's squad or could Konrad Fünfstück's squad gain a rare victory for Liechtenstein?

The bookmakers rate San Marino at 13/5 with Liechtenstein at 11/10 or the draw is 2/1 - Odds from skybet.com - Please bet responsibly!

The game kicks off at 7.45pm UK time.
