San Marino's winless run goes on
San Marino have not beaten anyone since a 3-1 win over Liechtenstein in November 2024, and nothing in their recent games suggests that is about to change. They drew 1-1 with the Faroe Islands and 0-0 with Andorra in March, then lost their two most recent friendlies, 1-2 to Bangladesh and 1-2 to Azerbaijan in June. Roberto Cevoli's side scored in all four of those games. They just could not stop conceding at the other end.
Finland arrive off the back of two defeats
Finland's form has also dipped. Jacob Friis's side beat New Zealand 2-0 in March and drew 1-1 with Cabo Verde days later, but their last two outings both ended in defeat: 4-0 away to Germany in May and 2-1 to Hungary in June. That run means Finland go into this game as the side that was relegated from League B last season, now needing a reset of their own in League C.
Team news
Glen Kamara is expected to return to Finland's midfield after being left out of recent squads. San Marino have no fresh injury concerns to report and Cevoli looks set to stick with the same forward pairing of Samuele Zannoni and Samuel Pancotti that has started their recent games, with Nicolas Giacopetti also in contention up front.
San Marino vs Finland prediction
Finland should win this UEFA Nations League opener against San Marino, even with both sides out of form. San Marino have conceded in every game since November 2024 and have never faced a squad containing a player of Kamara's level in this competition. Finland's away form has been shaky, but San Marino's home defence has been worse for far longer.
Our prediction: San Marino 0-2 Finland
