Malta host Liechtenstein in an international friendly. Malta's results have been a bit up and down of late, while Liechtenstein have really struggled to find any consistency this year.
These two have crossed paths before, and it's gone the same way each time. That history sits alongside a clear gap in recent form between the sides heading into this one.

Recent form: two very different pictures
Malta have won three of their last five matches, though it hasn't been smooth. They beat Slovakia and San Marino, but also shipped four at home to Bosnia & Herzegovina and lost away to Azerbaijan. Their most recent outing was a Nations League defeat away to Andorra.

Liechtenstein's recent run is much rougher. Just one win in their last seven games, a narrow one away to Tanzania, and they've conceded sixteen goals in that stretch. Heavy defeats to Scotland and Lithuania stand out, and their attacking output has been almost non-existent.
The gap in recent form clearly favours Malta on paper.

Head-to-head: Malta have had the upper hand
The two sides have met twice in recent friendlies, and Malta won both, 2-0 in 2024 and 3-0 back in 2020. It's a small sample and both were friendlies rather than competitive fixtures, but it lines up with the current form gap between the two.
| League | Home | Away | Date | Score |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Friendlies | Malta | Liechtenstein | 14.11.2024 | 2-0 |
| Friendlies | Malta | Liechtenstein | 11.11.2020 | 3-0 |
How this one could play out
Malta have shown they can score, netting nine goals in their last five matches, though they've also been open at the back, including that four-goal concession at home to Bosnia & Herzegovina. Liechtenstein have managed just three goals across seven matches, so if Malta hit anywhere near their usual output, goals could well flow at one end.
With Liechtenstein's away form so shaky and Malta finding the net fairly regularly, a comfortable home performance looks the more likely outcome. That said, friendlies this early in the international calendar can still throw up surprises with squads not always at full strength.

Malta look the stronger side on the evidence here, with better recent form and a perfect head-to-head record against Liechtenstein. But without a market to assess, there's no clear way to turn that edge into a call.
We'd rather wait for clearer information closer to kickoff than force a pick without anything to price it against.
