Malta vs North Macedonia Live Stream, Predictions

📏 Form Guide

Malta

LLWLLW

Malta will be looking for a repeat result of the 1-0 International Friendlies success versus Gibraltar.

The only name on the scoresheet from Malta was Joseph Mbong (58').

An interesting trait of more recent Malta games is the number of results with a nil in them.

Taking their prior 6 clashes before this one, in 5 of them a wager on both teams scoring would have been a losing one.

North Macedonia

DLWWLL

Following on from tasting defeat last time out to England in Euro - Qualifiers competition, North Macedonia will be aiming to make amends here.

Harry Kane (29', 73'), Bukayo Saka (38', 47', 51'), Marcus Rashford (45') and Kalvin Phillips (64') scored for England.

Demonstrating their partiality to action-packed matches, goals have been seen as many as 22 times in the previous six matches in which North Macedonia have sent out their troops, yielding an average of 3.67 goals for each fixture. Opposition teams have got 15 from this total. We will just have to see if that trend can be sustained in this game.
