Malta enter this match in confident form with three straight wins, including a 2-1 away triumph against Andorra in the Nations League. Gibraltar have failed to score in their last two matches, drawing 0-0 against Andorra and Sao Tome and Principe. Malta also hold a perfect record in head-to-head meetings, winning both previous fixtures by 1-0 and 2-0 scorelines. Backing Malta to take at least a point covers both a home win and a low-scoring draw.

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.
Key factors
- Malta have won their last three matches across all competitions, scoring six goals in that span.
- Gibraltar have played out consecutive 0-0 draws and failed to score in both games.
- Malta won both previous head-to-head meetings against Gibraltar without conceding a single goal.
- Both historical encounters between these sides produced under 2.5 total goals.
