Football Prediction
England hosts Malta in a Euro 2024 Qualifier dead rubber at Wembley on Friday as Gareth Southgate seeks to give his fringe players a run.
The Three Lions are one of the favorites to win the summer tournament having collected 16 points from six matches in the qualifiers and winning seven of the last eight games, including friendlies. In the previous match, they won 3-1 at home against Italy and will be looking to build on that when Mlata visits.
Malta are one of the weakest European teams and certainly the weakest team of this group. If they lose against England, they will finish qualifications with all defeats. Their only two wins this year came in friendlies against Luxembourg and Gibraltar.
H2H / Stats
The Three Lions have conceded just one goal across their six wins over Malta and eased to a 4-0 win away from home earlier this year.
England wins: 6
Malta wins: 0
Draws: 0
Team News
Southgate has been hit with a number of injury issues, with Jude Bellingham and Levi Colwill the latest to pull out of the squad. James Maddison, Callum Wilson and Lewis Dunk had already withdrawn with injuries of their own, as England called up Cole Palmer, Rico Lewis and Ezri Konsa as replacements. Kalvin Phillips and Marcus Rashford will not join up with the squad until later in the week due to personal matters, but neither have been ruled out of the Malta match.
Malta have only one player from the top five European leagues – Teddy Teuma from Reims. He skipped the October games for Malta, but now he is coming back.
Probable Line Up
England XI: Pickford (GK)< Alexander-Arnold, Guehi, Maguire, Colwill, Rice, Gallagher, Phillips, Bowen, Grealish, Kane
Malta XI: Bonello (GK), Muscat, J. Borg, S. Borg, Attard, Guillaumier, Teuma, Muscat, Camenzuli, Mbong, Montebello
Verdict
England might be having injury struggles but even their fringe players can do duty against this Malta team. There will be no hiding for the visitors.

Harry Kane✅
Kane has had a sterling start to life at Bayern Munich. He has been chasing records with the national team and this is his chance to increase his goal tally with the Three Lions.
