Malta vs Poland prediction
Having been benefitted by working on patterns of play in the UEFA Nations League, Malta continued their general improvement with what was a famous victory the other day as they defeated Finland by a goal to nil in Helsinki, courtesy of an 81st minute winner scored by Jake Grech.
They now face a Poland side that have kept themselves in contention in Group G of UEFA qualification for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with the second of two 1-1 draws against the Netherlands the other day, albeit they were unfortunate not to win and sit three points behind the Oranje.
Poland are finishing well and will be heading into the playoffs, albeit Malta, with their home advantage will believe they can make things quite frustrating in Ta Qali.
Malta vs Poland tip: Poland to win & both teams to score
