San Marino v Austria: Forecast, Odds and Bets
The stage is set for a thrilling World Cup Qualifier on Tuesday, June 10, 2025 as San Marino welcomes Austria to the San Marino Stadium. This Group 5 showdown carries plenty of intrigue, with the hosts desperate for a spark and the visitors determined to flex their quality.
Supporters in Italy, Germany, France and Spain can catch kick-off at 20:45 CEST, while viewers in the UK should tune in at 19:45 BST. Whether you’re backing the underdogs or siding with the favourites, this match promises high drama.
How are both teams coming into this?
San Marino arrive as clear underdogs, sitting at the bottom of the group with just 0 points from two games and a goal difference of 1:7. Their last outing ended in a heavy 5-1 home defeat to Romania, extending a run of defensive frailties that has characterised their campaign so far.
By contrast, Austria are on a mission to bounce back after a 2-0 loss in Serbia. Under coach Ralf Rangnick, they’ve shown resilience with 2 wins and 2 draws in their last five outings across all competitions. A convincing victory here would reignite their push for a top-two finish in Group 5.
Our forecast
Given the vast gulf in class and recent form, we’re backing an away win for Austria. Expect Rangnick’s side to control possession and create numerous chances as they look to get their qualifying campaign back on track.
We also like the “Both Teams Not to Score” market, with San Marino’s attack struggling to break down higher-quality opposition. A clean sheet for Austria seems likely, making this a solid double-favourite selection.
