Malta will face Lithuania in round 3 of the World Cup Qualification Europe on Sat, 07 June 2025. Kick‐off is set for 18:00 CEST (Italy, Germany, France & Spain) and 17:00 BST (REINO UNIDO).
This Group stage clash sees both sides eager to secure their first points after opening setbacks. With qualification hopes hanging in the balance, Malta v Lithuania promises an intriguing battle at the Ta’ Qali National Stadium.
¿Cómo llegan ambos equipos?
Malta have struggled to find consistency in recent qualifiers, conceding late goals and missing key chances in attack. Their home form will be crucial, but they must tighten up defensively if they want to challenge Lithuania.
Lithuania, meanwhile, have shown more resilience but still lack a cutting edge in the final third. Their sole point from the opening fixtures came thanks to a disciplined back line, yet they’ll need to be more adventurous if they are to leave Malta with maximum points.
Nuestras previsiones
Expect a cagey opening 30 minutes as both sides probe each other for weaknesses. While Malta will look to press high and exploit set-piece situations, Lithuania are likely to sit deeper and hit on the counter.
Our tip is for a low‐scoring affair with under 2.5 goals. A draw seems a fair reflection of the teams’ current forms, but a narrow Lithuania victory cannot be ruled out if they can break the deadlock early.
