Malta vs England Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 16th June 2023
At Ta' Qali, Malta and England meet to play a third round European Championship qualifying match this coming Friday. A 4-0 win was the follow-up to a 2-0 victory, when England last faced Malta, no doubt raising the spirits ahead of their next trip.
Concluding the first two rounds of matches in this group, Malta have positioned themselves as number five on zero points. Meanwhile, England earned six points, placing them as number one. England take on Malta as number five, whereas the home side sit as number 172 in the FIFA world ranking.
Malta will never make it out of this group, but could perhaps be capable of stealing the odd point which for them would be considered a success. It look like a close race between two teams for the top spot in the group, and England have a good chance of taking it. Even if they don't, they should be able to lock down the second place without too much difficulty.
