Slovakia vs Malta Predictions

• Malta lost and failed to score in all five of their Euro 2020 Qualifying away trips.
• Slovakia have kept clean sheets in three of their last five home games.
• The hosts also maintained shut-outs in three of their Euro 202o home qualifiers.

Plain-sailing for the hosts in Trnava

Slovakia posted a comfortable 3-0 success over Malta in the last World Cup Qualifying campaign and we envisage a similar outcome when the sides meet in Trnava this weekend.

Slovakia got their Group H tilt off to an underwhelming start in midweek with a dull 0-0 stalemate away to Cyprus, but Stefan Tarkovic’s side should have plenty in hand at home to minnows Malta who languish 176^th and 142 places below them in the FIFA Rankings.

The hosts have kept clean sheets in three of their last five on their own soil, while they also managed to maintain three shut-outs from their five home Euro 2020 qualifiers.

Malta found the net in their 1-3 home defeat to Russia on Wednesday evening, though they rarely trouble the opposition goal on their travels.

The visitors lost and failed to score in all five of their away Euro 2020 qualifiers, so a Slovakia win to nil appeals as a safe wager in this contest, with the match and handicap markets offering few worthy options.

The Slovaks aren’t renowned for demolishing smaller nations but are still likely to triumph at a canter in Trnava, so we’re also forecasting a 3-0 correct score.
