Italy vs Malta Prediction: Don't expect Scuadra Adzurra to score many goals

Prediction for the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying Italy vs Malta match which will take place on October 14th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After two rounds, a 2:0 win over Malta and a 2:1 loss to England, Roberto Mancini accepted an offer from Saudi Arabia to lead the national team. On the other hand, the Italians invited Luciano Spalletti, who won the Serie A with Napoli, to be their head coach. It is a logical decision to appoint the coach of the best team in the national championship as the coach of the national team.

Spalletti's first fail was a 1:1 draw with North Macedonia, but then the Squadra Azzurra overcame a challenging Ukraine team. Davide Frattesi scored a brace. The Italians are second in their qualifying group on seven points but are six points behind leaders England.

The Maltese team is expected to be the biggest underdog in the qualifying group. The Maltese lost all five matches with a goal difference of 1:11. However, iMalta only lost one of their five matches - to England (4:0). The rest of the matches did not go in Michele Marcolini's favor, with a goal difference of 1:2.

The problem of the Italian national team in recent years has been the lack of strikers. Ciro Immobile was effective for several years, and now the not-so-scoring Raspdori and Retegui are in the center of the attack. In general, Italy's recent poor performances should come as no surprise. Even against Malta, don't expect Scuadra Adzurra to score many goals. The Maltese, on the other hand, have rarely conceded many goals in recent years and have been easily beaten.
