Preview

Match preview

Malta host Gibraltar in UEFA Nations League D action, looking to extend a strong run of form that has seen them claim three consecutive victories across all competitions. Their Nations League campaign started on a positive note with a 2-1 away victory against Andorra, and recent wins over Liechtenstein and Azerbaijan have added further momentum.

Gibraltar enter the encounter following back-to-back 0-0 stalemates against Andorra and Sao Tome and Principe. While their defensive organisation has yielded two straight clean sheets, they have struggled for attacking output in recent outings, failing to register a goal in those two draws.

Historical meetings between the two sides also point in the home side's favour. Malta have won both previous encounters without conceding, claiming a 2-0 win in 2020 and a 1-0 victory in 2023.

Analysis
