Our prediction for this Nations League match:
Liechtenstein and Gibraltar take on each other at Rheinpark Stadion in what is expected to be an interesting UEFA Nations League game. Liechtenstein defeated Hong Kong 1-0 in a friendly thanks to Nicolas Hasler’s goal and they are now on a quester to record their first win in Group 1. Sandro Wieser serves a one-game ban, while there are no fresh injury worries in the home team.
Gibraltar, on the other hand, managed to break the deadlock in Thursday’s game against San Marino, with Ethan Britto scoring the only goal of the match. The 23-year-old defender, though, misses Sunday’s clash through suspension, which is probably the main reason why we are going to place our bets on the home side. It has to be noted, though, that Liechtenstein are eyeing their first win over Gibraltar since September 2018. There are no fresh injury concerns in the home team.
Highlighted Team (Liechtenstein):
Liechtenstein national football team are well known at the Blues-Reds. They wear blue shirts and red shorts when playing in front of home fans, whilst their second colours are red (shirts) and blue (shorts). Rheinpark Stadion in Vaduz is considered the team’s home ground and the capacity of the venue is 7.584.
In 1981 Liechtenstein faced Malta in their first ever unofficial match and they shared the spoils (1-1) with the Falcons in Seoul. Speaking of their first official game, Liechtenstein suffered a 1-0 loss to Switzerland two years later and it has to be noted that the Swiss played with a severely-weakened squad. The Blues-Reds recorded their first ever win in the World Cup qualifiers on October 13, 2004, with the team rolling over Luxembourg on the road.
At the same time, that was the team’s first ever away win and, no doubt, the triumph gave the minnows a confidence boost. Liechtenstein have yet to qualify for the finals of a major tournament and they suffered their biggest loss on November 9, 1996. The minnows were beaten by Macedonia 11-1 in front of home fans in Eschen.
