Malta to suffer a devastating defeat at the hands of Italy
Italy and Malta started European qualification a few days ago with different statuses. Italy were regarded as one of the top five favourites for UEFA EURO 2024, having yet to secure a place in the continental competition. Malta, for their part, were the clear-cut outsiders, even in the battle for a place above last in the qualifying stages. According to the results of the first matches on Thursday, the future rivals did not change their status but found themselves at neighbouring positions in the Group C standings. Italy hosted England in Naples and lost 1-2 to their opponents, who finished the game in the penalty shoot-out. It's worth noting that Mateo Retega's goal was scored after Italy's only shot on target against Pickford in the entire match. Malta were on their way to Skopje to face Northern Macedonia without much ambition. The islanders held on until midway through the second half when they conceded two goals that were only answered by a single shot, 1-2. Before the match in Ta' Qali, bookmakers apparently opted to favour the visitors, offering odds of 1.11 to win. Ranked 167th in the FIFA rankings, Malta are among Europe's weakest teams, as they have shown in 2022 Nations League games. While even weaker San Marino have been beaten twice in League D, the islanders have suffered two defeats against Estonia, leaving them in the continent's weakest division for another season. Five points from ten games in qualifying for the 2021 World Cup have made Malta the worst side in Group H. The islanders are coming off another defeat in qualifying, so it is unlikely they will be shining on Sunday. In Malta, the Italian team will play with two defeats in a row. Given that one of Europe's most decorated teams missed out on the World Cup in Qatar after failing to qualify, they need to be confident of picking up points in the "here and now". Otherwise, neither the fans nor the local football federation will understand. Italy have won their last two meetings with Malta by a modest 0-1 scoreline, so they should be ready to play their opponents to the best of their abilities to secure a confident win this time.
