Football Predictions
Malta hosts England at Ta’ Qali in Attard on Friday in the third round of the group stage in the European Championship.
Considered the weeping boys of Group C, Malta started their campaign with a 2-1 loss to North Macedonia, lost 0-2 to Italy but beat Luxembourg 1-0 in their last match.
England on the other hand has been one of the most in form teams in the competition where they lead Group C with six points from two games.
H2H/Stats
Both teams have met thrice in their history with England winning all the games. Both teams have not met in a competitive match since September 2017. Back then England defeated Malta 4-0 in the World Cup qualifier and the Three Lions are eyeing their sixth consecutive win over the minnows.
Team News
For the home side, Santa Lucia forward Kyrian Nwoko is pushing for a start after scoring the winner against Luxembourg.
For England, Joe Willock, Jude Bellingham, and Raheem Sterling all failed to make the cut due to injury. The Manchester City representatives Kyle Walker, Kalvin Phillips, Phil Foden and Jack Grealish only joined up with the England squad on Tuesday after their treble-chasing celebrations so it is uncertain what part they will play.
Probable Line Ups
Malta XI: Bonello (GK), Borg, Muscat, Apap, Camenzuli, Guillaumier, Grech, Yankam, Montebello, Mbong, Jones
England XI: Pickford (GK), Walker, Maguire, Stones, Shaw, Henderson, Maddison, Rice, Saka, Rashford, Kane
Verdict
Malta may have improved over the years as they ship in many goals as they were used to but you expect England to be clear favorites in this game owing to the type of players they have at their disposal.
Bet on England win✅
Anytime Goalscorer
Harry Kane✅
Kane has had a near-perfect season for Tottenham despite the problems that they encountered. He has continued to shine for both club and country and with the England captain looking to break more goalscoring records, here is one game he would fancy facing.
