WWDLLD ⚖

In their last game, Malta drew 0-0 in the WC Qualifiers - Europe match with Lithuania.

In that match, Malta managed 49% possession and 6 shots at goal with 1 on target. For their opponents, Lithuania got 8 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target.

A tendency of at least one team not scoring a goal in games involving Malta has become noticeable in recent matches. Checking on their last 6 meetings shows that this has happened 6 times. During those clashes, opposing sides have managed a goal total of 3 while Malta have scored 3. That kind of trend might not be carried forward into this game, though.

📋 Team News: Netherlands

It’s our opinion that Oranje could use a 4-3-3 system this time and select Mark Flekken, Micky van de Ven, Virgil van Dijk, Stefan de Vrij, Denzel Dumfries, Frenkie de Jong, Justin Kluivert, Ryan Gravenberch, Cody Gakpo, Memphis Depay and Xavi Simons.

🗞️ Team News: Malta

There’s a good chance that Ħomor seem likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 lineup, starting the game with Henry Bonello, Juan Corbalan, Gabriel Mentz, James Carragher, Ryan Camenzuli, Matthew Guillaumier, Alexander Satariano, Adam Overend, Teddy Teuma, Joseph Mbong and Paul Mbong.

💭 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Netherlands will most probably see a lot of the ball and convert quite a few goal-scoring opportunities.

However, Malta will be up against it to get shooting opportunities - but, we do see them getting enough chances to score, too.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 3-1 margin for Netherlands at the conclusion of the game.
