Poland vs Malta Predictions

• Poland won 1-0 against Lithuania in their opener, restricting chances in that clash
• Malta lost all eight Euro 2024 qualifiers, scoring only twice
• The visitors have lost to nil in five of their previous seven World Cup qualifiers

Routine win for hosts

Poland kicked off their World Cup qualifying campaign with a 1-0 win over Lithuania last week, a real change of pace from a difficult Nations League campaign.

The hosts followed up their Euro 2024 struggles by finishing bottom of their Nations League pool, but they have a kinder fixture in prospect on Monday.

Malta scored just twice across their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, losing all eight matches. Their last seven World Cup qualifiers have brought five defeats to nil, so the visitors are backed to struggle.

Poland aren’t always the most effective side at breaking through deep defences. Their 1-0 win against Lithuania saw them have 24 shots on goal, with just seven on target.

However, they restricted Lithuania to very little possession and few chances. Given Malta’s scoring record at this level, back another win to nil for the hosts.
