San Marino vs Austria prediction
It has been a typically tough start to qualifying for San Marino but they can take some positives from only losing 1-0 to Bosnia and Herzogovina last time out. They have been scoring goals or late having done so in four of their last six so they will be looking for small wins like that where possible.
That will not be easy against a strong Austria side. Amid the horrific tragedy in Graz on the morning of the matchday, emotions will be running high for the Austrians but they will be motivated to do well.
With Bosnia flying out of the traps and winning all three of their matches so far, Austria know they have no margin for error so they will be fired up to ensure all three points here. We expect them to start strong and kill this game off early.
