Match prediction:
The Czech Republic vs San Marino clash promises to be a one-sided affair: the hosts are far superior in class and will likely dominate play in the visitors' half. Given the gulf in quality and the nature of the contest, expect plenty of goals.
Prediction: total goals over 5 — O(5).
