Italy vs Malta 14.10.2023 Prediction: EURO Qualifiers

Match Overview

Italy, in a bid to resurrect their campaign, take on Malta in the UEFA EURO Qualifiers on 14 October. The home team's defence looks watertight whereas Malta are expected to fail in a few sectors. For example, Malta's attack has not quite been renowned for targetting the best of defences and ending up on the right side by the end of the evening.

Key Highlights 

At the time of writing, Italy are ranked in the second position of the league table with seven points to their name whereas Malta are perched right at the bottom of the standings without having opened their account yet. If there is any game that Italy can try to win and go on top of the league table, it is this. Malta are not quite expected to put up much of a fight. 

Injury Report

Steve Borg has been suspended and will not be available for selection for Malta at the Stadio Comunale San Nicolo. Italy, on the other hand, do not have any major absentees in their squad at all. 

Prediction

Italy appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game, and we expect them to do so quite comfortably. Malta have to make sure that they do not leak too many goals and keep Italy tightly stuck in their own half. It will be an interesting game if Malta manage to hold out. We expect Italy to end up being victorious by the end of the evening.
