What to look out for on Matchday 1

San Marino claimed their best haul in a UEFA campaign in the 2020/21 Nations League, thanks to a pair of draws. Their bid to improve on that – and maybe even secure their first ever competitive win – begins on Thursday 2 June against an Estonia side that lost out in March's relegation play-outs.

The other newcomers to League D, Moldova, begin their bid for a swift return to League C on the following night in Liechtenstein. Latvia will also have sights set on a strong start, aiming to make sure lightning doesn't strike twice as they host Andorra. The principality side earned a shock draw in Riga when the sides met in their 2020/21 opener.
