On Tuesday, November 19, in the 4th round of the UEFA Nations League D, Malta will host Andorra. The match is scheduled to kick off at 20:45 Central European Time. I propose a bet on the winner of this match.
Interesting Facts About the Match and Head-to-Head History
- Malta is on a three-match winning streak, including friendlies.
- Andorra has not scored a single goal in their last 8 away matches.
- Malta has lost only one of their last 5 home games.
- This will be the sixth meeting between these teams. Malta has defeated Andorra twice, with the other three matches ending in draws.
Match Preview
The Malta national team has made significant progress in recent years. While they remain one of Europe’s weaker sides, they are no longer a team that can be taken lightly, especially on home soil.
After 3 rounds of the Nations League, Malta has already guaranteed at least a playoff spot for promotion to League C, where they will face one of the teams finishing last in their League C group. Malta is 3 points behind Moldova, who have already completed their 4 matches. However, Malta cannot overtake Moldova due to inferior head-to-head results.
Ahead of their match against Andorra, Malta secured a 2-0 victory over Liechtenstein in a friendly.
Andorra, on the other hand, has been abysmal in the current Nations League campaign. The "Tricolors" have lost all three matches and looked significantly weaker than their opponents in every game. Their primary struggles are in attack, as they have failed to score a single goal throughout the Nations League.
In their last match, Andorra hosted Moldova and suffered a 0-1 defeat, conceding the only goal in the second minute of added time.
Probable Lineups
- Malta: Bonello; Tabone, Pepe, Borg; Lonardelli, Guillaumier, Vella, Mbong, Beerman; Nwoko, Buhagiar
- Andorra: Alvarez; Llovera, Garcia, Ortega; Font, Teixeira, Vales, Nicolas; Cucu, Sanchez, Cervos
Malta vs Andorra prediction
Andorra has been performing very poorly in this Nations League campaign, particularly in away matches, where they consistently lose. My prediction: Home win for Malta.
