Malta vs Sweden Prediction & Betting tips
Will Sweden stay in the race for the starting places for the EURO 2020 with a mandatory victory in Malta? In Group F Spain is unlikely to be displaced from the top of the table.
Behind it, three national teams are justified hope for a starting place for the next European Championship. In the game between Malta and Sweden, everything in the forecast speaks for the guests from Scandinavia.
The host is third with three points and has no chance to reach the top again. Only against the Faroe Islands it was enough for the Maltese for a win so far. Since then, coach Farrugia’s side have lost only in the qualifiers, although Malta last performed well in Romania in September, losing only marginally to outsiders.
The guests from Sweden came last in a home game against Norway only to a draw. Nevertheless, the Scandinavians are still in second place and coach Andersson’s team still has a good chance of getting a ticket to EURO 2020.
Malta:
The start into this qualification phase was perfect from the point of view of the Maltese. Finally, Malta started the home win against the Faroe Islands. In this match on equal footing benefited the Maltese from an early 1-0 lead by a goal by Kyrian Nwoko. However, after just over an hour Malta lost to Andrei Agius due to a red card.
But nevertheless it was enough for a 2-0 by a penalty at the end to a 2-1 home win. Since then, there has been little reason to celebrate Malta’s bottom line. In the other five qualifying matches, it was enough for no other point. Finally, the Maltese went five times in a row with a defeat from the field.
Particularly frightening is the team of coach Farruggia the missing Torgefahr. On the other hand, however, Malta must be held accountable for their defensive progress, as Malta have averaged only 2.16 goals per game in their previous six qualifiers.
It was defeated, for example, against Spain only with two goals difference. Norway lost 2-0 last month and lost to Romania in the last month.
Where Malta showed a really good performance with the favored Romanians. At least until half time the Maltese could hold a draw in Romania. Even a lead would have been possible if Malta had made better use of the available chances to score.
But that did not succeed and so had the team after the final whistle again with a defeat to travel home.
Sweden :
The Swedes continue to have a good team without their former superstar Zlatan Ibrahimovic. This was underlined by the Swedes on the way to the World Cup in Russia. Finally, the Swedish national team prevailed in the play-offs against Italy and thus made the leap to the World Cup. In Russia the journey went to Sweden for the quarterfinals.
In the current qualification for the upcoming European Championship, the “Tre Konor” in the qualifying group F after the sixth matchday, after all, occupy the second place in the table. Thus, the Swedish national team continues to have every chance to participate again in their own power in a major tournament. Overall, it was enough for Sweden so far for three wins and two draws, while once you had to leave the field as a loser.
The defeat came in June when the Sweden lost the chance in a 3-0 loss to Spain in Madrid.
However, Sweden should have been much more annoyed that twice in the games against Norway they did not get over a draw. In Norway, coach Janne Andersson could still live with a 3-3 draw despite unfamiliar weaknesses in defense. But the draw last month in Stockholm was already a significant setback.
But with the “Tre Kronor” still had to be glad that it was enough for a temporary deficit by a goal by Emil Forsberg at least one point. The coach still has to wait to see if the late striker Victor Lindelöf will be fit for action.
