Match Overview
Luxembourg and Malta take each other on in an international friendly game on Friday. This game will give each team an opportunity to test out new players before the cycle of the FIFA World Cup qualification begins. Neither of these two teams appear to be in great shape, but these games will allow their managers to see which of their players deserve to be called up in the future.
Key Highlights
While Luxembourg are ranked in the 91st position by FIFA, Malta are perched upon the 172nd spot in the same standings. This means that the home team have a big advantage over their opponents in this game. Luxembourg, however, have not scored a single goal in the last three matches that they have played, and this will not give them a lot of confidence coming into this game.
Injury Report
Sebastien Thill, of Luxembourg, is the only player amongst the two teams to be ruled out with an abdominal injury. He is supposed to come back on the field by the latter half of this month. Malta do not have any major injuries or niggles in their side at all.
Prediction
There has only been one game recorded between these two teams in the past, way back in 2018. Luxembourg appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game, and should do so quite comfortably. Malta are not expected to put up much of a challenge to Luxembourg in this game.
