England vs Malta prediction 17.11.2023

• Competition: EURO Qualifications
• Date: Friday, 17th November 2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UK/20:45 CET
• Venue: Wembley Stadium (London)

England is among the top football teams in the world, and they are heavily favored to win the EURO 2024 title next year. While they still have two qualifying games left to play, their place in the tournament is already secured. This is thanks to the 16 points they’ve racked up from six matches under Gareth Southgate’s guidance. England has been victorious in seven out of their last eight games, friendlies included. During their most recent match, they triumphed over Italy with a 3-1 score at home. Although the visitors took an early lead in the 15th minute, England dominated the remainder of the game, allowing Southgate’s team to secure all three points.

Malta is considered one of the most feeble European teams and is undeniably the weakest in this group. They are expected to lose against England, which would result in them concluding the qualifications with only defeats. Their only victories this year were achieved in friendly matches against Luxembourg and Gibraltar. In the preceding match, Malta suffered a 3-1 loss at home against Ukraine. Despite leading in the 12th minute, the home team was outperformed by the visitors, earning the Ukrainians a well-deserved three points.

England vs Malta pick: Over 3.5 goals

In their most recent six games, England netted 19 goals, and four out of these six games saw more than 3.5 goals. Conversely, Malta conceded seven goals in their last two matches. Thus, a bet on over 3.5 goals would be the most promising for this match.
