Malta have won 2 out of their last 5 games. They may have lost all of
their World Cup Qualifiers so far, but they have won their last 5
friendly games, albeit against lesser opposition than Ireland have
played. A wins a win though and they will have just as much confidence
as the Irish and with ex Coventry and Barnsley Michael Mifsud they have a
goal scorer. He is Malta’s top scorer with 26 goals in 92 games and the
Irish will do well to keep an eye on him tonight.
Northern Ireland need a win here to give them confidence and momentum to
go into their World Cup Qualifiers. They haven’t won since 2008 when
they beat the Faroe Islands 4-0, but have drawn 4 out of their last 5
games. The last 3 games have ended 1-1 and their problem, as it has been
for a long time, is scoring goals. They are playing a team that are 48
places below them in the Fifa rankings, so they really should be beating
them.
These 2 haven’t met since 2005, but Malta have never beaten Northern
Ireland. They have met 6 times with NI winning 5 and 1 draw. The 5 NI
wins have been won to nil. Northern Ireland win @ 2.15 with BetVictor
