San Marino will be hoping for a better result after a 0-7 Nations League defeat last time out to Finland. It’s been all too rare in recent times that San Marino have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that San Marino have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 games, letting in 20 goals along the way. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily be carried forward into this game, however. Albania Albania go into this match following on from a 2-0 Nations League win in the defeat of Belarus in their previous match. Over the course of 5 of the prior six games featuring Albania, a notably low volume of goals have been hit between them and opposing sides. The overall average number of goals per game within that period comes to a mere 1.67, with the number of goals averaged by Kuq e Zinjtë being 0.5.

The massive gap in both squad quality and recent competitive form is impossible to ignore for this Nations League tie. Across their last four meetings covering both official competitive matches and friendlies, Albania has claimed four straight clean-sheet wins over their opponent, boasting total dominance in this head-to-head record. In one of their past European Qualifiers clashes, Albania ran riot to a 5-0 home victory, with a 12-0 corner count that perfectly illustrated their full control of the game and the total collapse of San Marino’s defensive line. In another fixture hosted by San Marino, the home side even held the game goalless at half time, but still fell to a 0-2 full-time defeat. Their embarrassing 0-15 corner stat from that game lays bare their complete lack of attacking threat, inability to retain basic possession or build structured offensive plays, leaving them stuck in a consistently passive, defensive position for almost the full run of play in their past clashes.

Levante builds a complete offensive and defensive framework at home with a 3-5-2 wing-back system. The two wing-backs are responsible for high-intensity sprints, taking into account both defensive cover in the back and offensive support in the front. They mainly rely on crosses from the flanks and aerial battles in the penalty area to create goal-scoring opportunities. The home team averages 6.2 dribbles past opponents on the flanks per game. The overall success rate of their aerial duels is 48.5%. They are also quite effective in creating chances from set-pieces in the front. However, Levante's defense has a relatively slow lateral movement. When the opponents continuously shift the ball horizontally to mobilize the defense, the overall defensive line is prone to being stretched, leaving minor defensive loopholes. As for Athletic Bilbao, they will need to capitalize on these potential weaknesses of Levante while also being cautious of the home team's offensive capabilities from the fl
