Moldova vs San Marino October 11, 2013

Neither side has any chance of qualifying for the big tournament next summer. San Marino sits in last place with eight losses, one goal scored, and 43 conceded.

The team opened its campaign with a 6-0 loss against Montenegro. In its second game, San Marino was torched 5-0 by England; Wayne Rooney scored twice in that match for the Three Lions. The team managed respectability by losing 2-0 against Moldova in October 2012 but was then defeated 3-0 in Montenegro the following month. An 8-0 loss against England in March 2013 essentially eliminated them from contention and brought them to their lowest point of the tournament. A 5-0 loss in Poland followed before San Marino endured an embarrassing 9-0 loss in the Ukraine; that game featured goals from eight different players.

This is a UEFA Group H World Cup qualifying match between Moldova and San Marino. These two teams are at the bottom of the table and aren’t playing for World Cup berths or dreams anymore.

This is basically a friendly and the only thing on the line is personal pride. For San Marino they’re looking for any kind of points to avoid finishing World Cup qualification without getting a point. They have a goal differential of -42. They’re allowing a little over 5 goals allowed per game.

Moldova has fared better but only has five points in eight games. The team lost 5-0 against England in its opener before enduring a 2-0 defeat against Poland. The third game was a surprising 0-0 draw with Ukraine at home and the team then defeated San Marino 2-0. However, the luck would be short-lived as Moldova lost 1-0 against Montenegro in its ensuing qualifier. Another loss to the Ukraine was followed by a draw with Poland; unfortunately the team lost 4-0 against England in its latest qualifier.

Predictions: Moldova destroys San Marino 4-0.
Start Time: 12 p.m. EST
