Italy vs Malta Prediction and Match Preview

Italy have a decent form this Euro qualifiers season. They have won two, drew one and lost one of their four matches to sit at second in Group C standings. A win is essential for them to keep their spot inside the safe zone secured.

The team will play host to a winless Malta on Saturday. In fact, Malta lost all their five Euro qualifier fixtures and are sitting at the bottom of Group C standings.

Who will win the match between Italy vs Malta?

They have locked horns nine times in the past and Italy won all those scoring goals at an impressive rate. Italy netted in a total 14 goals in their four clashes against Malta at this stadium.

Going on, Italy won three of their past four home outings despite of having strong European opponents. Meanwhile, Malta lost three of their past four road trips. In that case, we have enough of reasons to back Italy to win here.

How many goals will be scored in the match?

The recent home matches of Italy have mostly been high-scoring. On top of that Italy’s offensive side alone scored goals at a rate of 3.5 goals against Malta in their h2h clashes at this stadium.

Do also note that Malta have failed to score in three of those four h2h matches at this venue. In that case, we expect a high-scoring, one-sided match between these two on Saturday.

Reason for Tips

We expect an interesting match-up here with Italy having the control. The bookmakers have priced Italy to win at a very favorable 1.06 odds. However, we are not going to start with it.

We like to start with a Italy to win and over 3.5 goals at 1.82 odds. While placing it as the main tip, we like to back Italy -3.5 Asian Handicap at 2.10 odds as the second.
