Scotland national football team takes on the visitors Malta national football team at “Hampden Park” in the matchday eight of the Europe’s Qualifiers Group stage for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. The game will be played in Glasgow on Monday, September 4th.
In 2017 the Scots demonstrate solid results in the qualifying battles, having beaten Slovenia 1:0 and Lithuania 3:0 plus having got 2:2 draw against England. That lucky run allowed Gordon Strachan’s side to drift up to the third position in the Group F standings with 11 points earned and 12-10 goal difference being four points behind the Slovaks sitting on the second place. Therefore, if the hosting team manages to win all three encounters left, they will be able to get ahead of Slovakia.

Malta has gained only one triumph out of 10 recent matches, having broken Ukraine in a friendly clash with 1:0 scoreline. Still, the Maltese didn’t succeed to earn even a point within the qualification campaign, having lost all seven games with 2:13 aggregated score occupying the last position in the Group F. Malta participated in three encounters on the road and it was beaten in all of them with the same 0:2 scoreline.
Scotland and Malta met three times in their history with all the head-to-heads ended in favour of the Brits: 3:0, 2:0 and 5:1 in the reverse fixture of the current qualification. I believe that the Scots will celebrate another success in the fourth fight of the teams as the Maltese still cannot play on equal with the Brits. Malta got used to show quite solid defense, but it still has weak offense.
Prediction for the match: Scotland to win with -2.0 Asian handicap.
