Malta vs Belarus Prediction: Don’t expect a productive game

Malta is one of the weakest national teams in Europe and has never qualified for a major international tournament in its history. Of course, Euro 2024 is no exception. In qualification, the Red and Whites found themselves in the toughest Group C, where England, Italy, Ukraine, and North Macedonia were together. In eight rounds, they failed to pick up any points, all eight games were defeats, and their goal difference is a dismal 2:20. The rare good news for the Maltese is that in their first test game in March, they sensationally drew 2:2 with Slovenia, even leading until the 81st minute.

The Belarus national team has never qualified for major international tournaments before, but the last qualification for Euro 2024 was not so bad for them. In qualifying group I, the Red-Green took the final fourth place, missing Romania, Switzerland, and Israel, but managed to beat Kosovo and Andorra. Moreover, They could even compete for a trip to Germany, but in the game with Israel, they led by 85 minutes - 1:0 but lost - 1:2, and Andorra clearly should have counted on a victory, but it was a draw - 0:0. In March, they have already played one control game, in which they suffered a defeat against Montenegro - 0:2.

The Maltese national team is a very modest team that very rarely clings to at least a draw. Face-to-face meetings with Belarus are also unsuccessful for the Red-Whites, as in the last three friendlies, they lost with a total score of 0:7. Now they are the favorites for the clash, as they have been in good form lately. They beat Kosovo and Andorra 1:0 each in their last Euro 2024 qualifying games, and before that, they drew with Romania and Switzerland 0:0 and 3:3, respectively.

The Belarus national team has recently started to show good results, but the performance and spectacle are still a problem. In the previous seven matches with the Red-Greens, there were a total of only 11 shots on goal (1.57 per game on average), with six goals coming against the Swiss - 3:3.
