Match Prediction: San Marino vs. Austria
Austria, in their debut home match in this tournament, scored twice against Romania. In away World Cup qualifiers, the Austrians also typically limit their scoring to no more than two goals in their last 16 away matches in qualification.
San Marino usually concedes a lot, but recently they've been putting up a fight against their opponents. As a result, the team has conceded more than four goals in only two of their last six World Cup qualifying matches. It is worth noting that in their last match in the tournament, San Marino conceded just one goal against the fairly strong Bosnia and Herzegovina team.
I expect a comfortable victory for Austria, but I don't think they will score too many. My prediction: Austria individual total under 4.5 goals
