  • Date: Tuesday, 17th October 2023

  • Venue: Ta’Qali National Stadium (Ta’ Qali)

Malta is considered one of the least competitive teams in Europe, and certainly the weakest in their group. Throughout their six EURO qualifying matches, Malta suffered six defeats. In their recent game against Italy on Saturday, Michele Marcolini’s team faced a 4-0 loss on the away field. As anticipated, Malta faced numerous challenges while the home team capitalized on nearly every favorable goal-scoring chance.

Ukraine remains in a strong position to qualify for the EURO, having earned ten points from six matches. This puts them tied for second place on the table with Italy, although they have played one more game than the Azzurri. Impressively, Ukraine has only suffered one loss in their previous six matches across all competitions. In their most recent game, they secured a 2-0 victory against North Macedonia in Prague. Despite playing home matches on a neutral venue, Ukraine displayed dominance by creating numerous high-quality goal-scoring opportunities.

Malta vs Ukraine pick: Ukraine to win and cover AH -1.5 spread

Malta is facing significant challenges on both ends of the field, evident from their 1:15 goal difference in the EURO qualifications. Conversely, Ukraine boasts a strong attack, having scored 11 goals in their previous six matches across all competitions. Therefore, betting on Ukraine to win and cover AH -1.5 spread appears to be the most favorable wager for this match.

Malta team news

Malta possesses just a solitary player of exceptional talent, Teddy Teuma, the midfielder from Reims, who has participated in eight Ligue 1 matches this season. Regrettably, the team’s prospects have been dampened as he sustained an ankle injury, rendering him unavailable for Malta’s matches in October.

Furthermore, Notts County’s winger, Jodi Jones, is also unavailable.

Undoubtedly, Teuma stands out as the finest player from Malta, and their team would suffer greatly without his contributions.
