Top Two Tips for Luxembourg vs Malta
Here are our predictions for Friday's international friendly between Luxembourg and Malta. We're expecting quite a tight and tense 90-minutes between two nations not renowned for their goalscoring abilities. The hosts Luxembourg head into the match as the clear favourite to win with all bookmakers but each of the five previous meetings between these two countries have always been closely fought.
Contents
Luxembourg to Win
Our first Luxembourg vs Malta prediction concerns the full-time result. Luxembourg have won three of their five previous encounters with Malta, only losing on one occasion back in 1995. The hosts have only won one of their last six international matches, beating Lithuania 1-0 at home, while Malta have lost four of their last six outings, which includes their last three games against Italy, North Macedonia and the Republic of Ireland.
Under 2.5 Goals
Our second Luxembourg vs Malta prediction regards the total goals scored by both teams. None of the five previous encounters between these two nations have ever produced more than 2-goals and Luxembourg's three victories over Malta have all been via the same 1-0 scoreline. Three of the hosts' last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and on each of those occasions, Luxembourg have managed to keep a clean sheet. Two of Malta's last three matches have has witnessed fewer than three goals scored and the visitors failed to score in each of those fixtures.

Luxembourg vs Malta Lineups and Last Match
Luxembourg
Luxembourg will be thankful they aren't playing a big nation like Portugal this week as they lost 6-0 to Ronaldo and co back in March. Gerson Rodrigues and Danel Sinani are the two Luxembourg players to watch out for in this game as both carry a goal threat and that is going to be crucial in a game that isn't expected to produce much in the way of goalmouth action. Rodrigues plays his football in Saudi Arabia for Al Wehda, while Sinani plays much closer to home but in the much-less glamorous surroundings of Wigan Athletic. If Luxembourg are to win on Friday then you would expect one of these two players to find the back of the net as they have scored a combined 24-goals for their country in 106 combined appearances.
Predicted Lineup – Moris (GK), Pinto, Chanot, M. Martins, Jans, Gerson, C. Martins, L. Martins, Sinani, Thill & Rodrigues
Malta
Malta might have lost their last game against Italy but the scoreline was only 2-0 which is very respectable considering the gulf in quality between the two countries. Malta simply don't offer the same kind of goal threats as their hosts and this is what could prove the difference between the two nations on Friday. Nwoko, Dimech and Satariano have all been called up to the latest squad and each of these players has scored 3-goals for their county in a combined 65-caps. Midfielder Teddy Teuma has also scored three goals for Malta as have the defensive duo of Zach Muscat and Steve Borg. Only four of the squad play their domestic football outside of Malta and two of those players are fairly new to international football having occurred just 8-caps between them.
Predicted Lineup – Bonello (GK), Attard, Borg, Apap, Corbalan, Muscat, Guillaumier, Yankam, Mbong, Jones & Satariano
