Malta take on the visitors Gibraltar in friendly international match. The match will be played on Wednesday, September 6th.
Malta have become slightly stronger than it was 10 years ago, but there hasn't been anything drastic. They still suffer many defeats with scores like 0:4 and 0:5. This year, they have played 5 matches, 4 in qualifiers, and one friendly. In the qualifiers, they lost all four, but in the friendly game, they won 1:0 against Luxembourg. The major issue for the team is their lack of goals; in these 5 matches, they have only scored twice. Can we be 100% sure that Malta will win here? Clearly no. This is a match between two teams that have difficulties with their attacks, so it's unlikely that there will be many goals. A final score of 0:0 cannot be ruled out.

Gibraltar have been the epitome of stability this year, playing 4 matches and losing all 4 with a score of 0:3 each time. Yes, their opponents were of a higher level than Malta, but they could have at least scored a goal. When Gibraltar faces teams of a similar class, they have a chance of success, and sometimes even victories. Gibraltar also tends to play defensively, and last year they managed 0:0 draws against Grenada and the Faroe Islands. So, something similar can be expected from the visitors here. Malta, as the hosts, will likely control possession, and Gibraltar will focus on defending. In the end, the match could either end with a 1:0 scoreline in favor of one team or finish 0:0.
Predicting the outcome of this match is not straightforward because it can go in three different ways. A non-standard bet that I like in this situation is BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE - NO. I believe that both teams are struggling to score, and one of them is likely to be goalless.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – no.
