San Marino will face Austria at the San Marino Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side have endured an expectedly poor start to their qualifying campaign and will only be keen to get some points on the board as they sit rock-bottom in Group H with zero points from an obtainable nine.
They suffered a 1-0 away defeat to Bosnia and Herzegovina in their game on Saturday, falling behind midway through the second half and ultimately ending the contest without a shot on target.
Austria, meanwhile, have begun their qualifying campaign on a winning note as they look to shake off their UEFA Nations League disappointments and return to the global stage for the first time since 1998. They beat Romania 2-1 in their group opener with Michael Gregoritsch and Borussia Dortmund's Marcel Sabitzer handing Das Team a two-goal lead at the hour mark before their opponents pulled one back late in the day.
Trending
The visitors sit fourth in their group with three points and will be looking to make it two wins from two when they head to Southern Europe on Tuesday.
