San Marino vs Malta Predictions

• Malta are 42 places above San Marino in the current FIFA World Rankings
• Malta have won two of their last three matches
• San Marino have lost their last 16 consecutive matches

Hosts woeful run looks set to continue 

San Marino kicked their Nations League campaign off with a 2-0 defeat away to Estonia. Thursday’s defeat in Estonia was San Marino’s 16^th loss on the spin and there is little to suggest they will end this baron run when they host Malta on Sunday – San Marino have conceded 22 goals in their last four home matches. 

Malta showing signs of improvement

Malta are ranked 42 places above San Marino in the FIFA World Rankings and the visitors go into Sunday’s game in reasonable form. Malta recorded two morale boosting victories in March over Kuwait and Azerbaijan and impressed in their last away game when they drew 2-2 away at Cyprus. Recent efforts suggest Malta should have enough to see off San Marino in what should be a low-scoring affair – Malta’s last three matches have all gone under 2.5 match goals.

Malta to Win and Under 2.5 Match Goals will be the main selection for Sunday’s game and can currently be backed at 2/1. In the correct score market, a chance can be taken on this finishing 2-0 to the visitors – Malta’s last victory over Kuwait came by way of a 2-0 score line.
