Malta Team News
In the previous round of qualification for EURO 2024, the Maltese national team lost to North Macedonia with a score of 2:1 away from home. According to all statistical parameters, the home team was the better rival in this duel, they had an advantage of two goals, and the only goal for the guests was scored by debutant Yankam Yannick in the 85th minute.
In the D League of Nations, they finished second in the group behind Estonia and ahead of San Marino. In the last five competitive games, they recorded two wins (both over San Marino) and three losses.
After scoring a goal in the last match, Yankam Yannick will probably be the starter in the upcoming match against Italy, and Paul Mbong could be on the bench. The other starters in the match against North Macedonia should also be available on Sunday.
Enrico Pepe and Triston Caruana are the only injured players and they will not be available to the Malta coach.
Italy Team News
In the previous match, the Italian footballers also suffered a defeat, and they lost to England at home with a score of 1:2. The guests took the lead right at the start of the match, and they doubled their advantage at the end of the first half from a penalty. In the 56th minute, the home team reduced the lead through Mateo Retegui, and Lorenzo Pellegrini provided the assist. By the end of the game, Italy was unable to fully get back into the match, and the result remained unchanged.
In the A League of Nations, they finished the competition in first place with 11 points, ahead of Hungary, Germany, and England. In the last seven competitive matches, they registered three wins and two draws and losses each.
Roberto Mancini is expected to make several changes for the match against England. Ciro Immobile, Giacomo Raspadori, and Federico Chiesa are injured, and Matteo Retegui will probably start again. It is expected that Wilfried Gnonto will appear on the field from the start of the match, while Vincenzo Grifo will probably remain on the bench again.

Malta vs Italy Prediction
Italy is the clear favorite in this game and anything but a victory for the visitors would be a real surprise. At the same time, due to the mutual duels in which there were few goals, we think that this match will end with the victory of the guests with less than 3.5 goals in the entire match.
