Netherlands 4-0

Reason for tip

Malta’s last home game against an elite-level national team was a 4-0 defeat to England, and they have only scored one goal in five attempts in this World Cup qualifying campaign, which includes an 8-0 thrashing in the reverse fixture in Groningen.

Malta have only scored one goal in five games this qualifying campaign.

Oranje to fill their boots in Ta-Qali

The Netherlands demolished Malta 8-0 when these sides met in Groningen in June, and another high-scoring Dutch win could be on the cards in the reverse fixture.

Malta have picked up two points with draws against Lithuania in this qualifying period, but they have been beaten to nil in their other three matches and looked torrid in the Netherlands earlier this year.

Their recent home opponents contain no teams of similar quality, but the last time they hosted a top team saw them lose 4-0 to England in 2023.

Ronald Koeman’s side but three past Lithuania last time out and have seen over 3.5 goals land in five of their last eight. Back them to fill their boots, with a repeat of Malta’s 4-0 defeat at home to England two years ago a solid correct score pick.
