Austria
San Marino will look to put an end to their three-game losing run in the World Cup qualifiers when they take on Austria on Tuesday evening. Sa Marino made life difficult for Bosnia in their last qualifying game, but veteran striker Edin Dzeko eventually helped the Balkan Dragons grab vital three points. The minnows are likely to adopt yet another defence-minded approach against Austria, but preventing Marko Arnautovic and Co. from finding the net is easier said than done. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the home team, midfielder Matteo Valli Casadei is expected to return to the starting XI.
Das Team, on the other hand, proved their worth in a 2-1 win over Romania, with the team kicking off their World Cup qualifying campaign in great manner. Aforementioned striker Arnautovic should be recalled to the starting XI, with defenders Stefan Posch and Kevin Danso pushing for a start as well. Anyhow, anything but a routine away win would be a big surprise.
Highlighted Player (Marko Arnautovic):
An Austrian footballer born on 19 April 1986, Marko Arnautovic represented a number of Austrian top sides on youth level, but it was at Twente that his professional career began. The winger needed a while to nail down a regular starting berth, but he impressed in his first full season to score 12 Eredivisie goals and earn a lucrative move to Inter Milan.
The unprofessional behaviour seriously cut short his stay at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, but the highly rated footballer was able to kick start his career at Werder Bremen. The successful spell in Bundesliga saw him secure a move to Stoke City, where he has played his best football up to date.
A powerful footballer capable of scoring from distance, Arnautovic is able to operate as a winger, centre forward or attacking midfielder, and he has also impressed playing for the Austria national team. The forward scored 3 goals in the qualifying campaign to help Das Team qualify for the Euro 2016 finals, taking his total goal tally past 10 strikes.
Highlighted Team (San Marino):
San Marino played their first official match back in 1990, with the team suffering a 4-0 loss to Switzerland in the European Championship qualifiers. The minnows often serve as a cannon fodder for their rivals in competitive games, but it has to be noted that they did well to hold Estonia to a goalless draw in the Euro 2016 qualifiers.
San Marino have yet to record a win in the qualifiers for the major tournaments, but on April 28, 2004 they recorded a hard-fought victory over Liechtenstein in a friendly match and that is considered their biggest achievement. “La Serenissima” welcome their rivals at San Marino Stadium and the capacity of the venue is only 6.664.
San Marino footballers wear blue shirts and blue shorts when playing at home, whilst the colour of their away kits is white. It is well known that San Marino have never participated at the finals of the FIFA World Cup or the European Championship.
