Malta and North Macedonia will face off in the MatchDay 6 of the UEFA European Championship Qualifying.
Malta may have a decent chance of scoring against this North Macedonia team, but it’s likely that a single goal won’t be sufficient to secure a victory, and they may still face a defeat.
Malta aims to replicate their previous 1-0 victory over Gibraltar in an International Friendly.
In recent Malta games, a noteworthy trend has been the prevalence of matches with clean sheets. In 5 of their last 6 matches leading up to this one, a bet on both teams scoring would have resulted in a loss.
The Malta manager, Michele Marcolini, can be relieved as he has a completely healthy squad at his disposal, with no fitness concerns to address ahead of this match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 0, Lost: 3, Scored: 2, Conceded: 7, Clean Sheets: 2.

The North Macedonia manager, Blagoja Milevski, can breathe a sigh of relief as he has a fully injury-free squad to choose from, with no fitness concerns to address ahead of this match.
Last 5 Games: Won: 2, Draw: 1, Lost: 2, Scored: 6, Conceded: 12, Clean Sheets: 1.
