Malta vs Liechtenstein Prediction and Betting Tips | November 14th 2024

Malta will host Liechtenstein at the Ta' Qali National Stadium on Thursday in a friendly match between the two nations. Both teams will be looking to put in solid performances in preparation for their UEFA Nations League fixtures next week.

The hosts will hope to continue their form from the last two UEFA Nations League games in the September and October international breaks which saw them beat both Andorra and Moldova 1-0 to record back-to-back victories for the first time since March 2022.

Liechtenstein will be in similar spirits, having ended a four-year winless streak with a 1-0 victory in a friendly against Hong Kong during the last international break featuring a first-half strike from veteran midfielder and team captain Nicolas Hasler. The visitors followed up the win with a goalless draw against Gibraltar in their last international fixture and will hope to avoid defeat when they take the trip to Malta on Thursday.

Following the midweek clash, the two teams will return to competitive action with the Reds facing Andorra and their guests facing San Marino.

Malta vs Liechtenstein Prediction

Malta’s interim head coach Davide Mazotta will be hoping his team can continue their good form with the possibility of getting the job permanently becoming increasingly likely. Despite having one of the poorest attacking and defensive records in Europe, the hosts are slight favorites as they face a team with an even poorer record.

Liechtenstein will be satisfied with a draw considering their abysmal record in recent years but could see defeat against a recently rejuvenated Malta side.

Prediction: Malta 1-0 Liechtenstein
