On Thursday, St. Lucia will play a friendly match against San Marino at the Daren Sammy Cricket Ground (November 17). The two sides will be engaged in two friendlies against one another instead of attending the FIFA World Cup in Qatar. Both contests will take place on Gros Islet, St. Lucia, and will serve as a season finale for the two teams. After several victories, newly hired coach Stern John has gained the respect of his players.
St. Lucia hopes to advance when the CONCACAF Nations League begins in March after being promoted to the second division. Doneal Lionel, a newbie, will look to make an impression on his team debut while Kurt Frederick, who is known for his prolific scoring, is expected to draw attention. After eight games, San Marino still hasn’t picked up a victory; their best effort was a scoreless tie in a friendly against Seychelles.
After three seasons, La Serenissima is still in UEFA Nations League D. The team’s performance will be improved, according to Fabrizio Costantini. The team’s preparation for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying, which begins in March, is being handled by the manager. San Marino will compete against renowned teams like Slovenia, Denmark, and Northern Ireland. In these two friendly games, they will try to halt their losing streak.
St. Lucia vs San Marino Head-to-Head and Key Numbers:
The first matchup between the two teams will take place. St. Lucia has lost twice in their previous four home games while winning twice.
