Euro 2008 Qualifying Group D:While the Republic of Ireland are in Denmark for a friendly international tonight Cyprus will expect to pick up their second win in Euro 2008 qualifying when they visit San Marino.

But neither this match, nor clashes against against San Marino at home, and then Wales will be easy, according to Cyprus coach Angelos Anastasiadis.

"Every player must be aware that these games will be hard and not easy," Anastasiadis said. "That is the message that I have been repeatedly giving all the players."

The game against San Marino in Serravalle is a meeting of Group D also-rans and Cyprus fans will see it as an opportunity for their team to boost their points total.
