Preview
Scotland and Malta meet at Hampden Park, in a match for this stage of the WC Qualification Europe (1st Round). Malta registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Scotland

The home team is currently in the 3rd position, with 11 points won, after 3 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses. In the penultimate round, they have tied a home match against England by (2‑2). In the last round, they have won an away match against Lithuania by (0‑3). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 5 draws and 2 losses at their stadium. Scotland has won 2, tied 4 and lost 1 of the last 7 home matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Scotland comes motivated for this match after a 3-0 win away against Lithuania: Armstrong, Robertson and McArthur scored goals of the match. In this way, the home team is going through a good period, with two victories in the last three matches. The home team usually acts in a habitual 4-3-3, privileging the quick transitions. For this, they can count on Griffiths' finishing ability. It should be noted that one of the best players in Scotland is the West Bromwich winger, Matt Phillips.

Confirmed Lineup: Craig Gordon, Kieran Tierney, Andrew Robertson, Christophe Berra, Charlie Mulgrew, James Forrest, Stuart Armstrong, James McArthur, Matt Phillips, Leigh Griffiths.
Coach: S. Brown, S. Clarke.

Analysis Malta

The away team is currently in the 6th position, no points won yet, after 7 losses. In the penultimate round, they have lost an away match against Slovenia by (2‑0). In the last round, they have lost a home match against England by (0‑4). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 2 draws and 12 losses in away matches, with 4 goals scored and 28 conceded; against 2 wins, 2 draws and 11 losses at their stadium, with 11 goals scored and 31 conceded. In the last 9 away matches Malta has won 1, tied 1 and lost 7.

In this competition, they have a sequence of 7 losses in the last matches. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 7 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 8 of the last 9 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals. This is a team that has had problems scoring first, since they have only opened up the score once in the last 15 matches. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 13 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Malta national team comes unmotivated for this match after a home defeat, by 0-4, against England. Thus, the visiting team seems to be going through a bad moment, with eight defeats in the last nine matches. The visiting team typically plays in 4-4-2, preferring quick transitions. For this, they can count on the speed of Farrugia and Pisani. It should be noted that the Malta national team presents many weaknesses.

Confirmed Lineup: Andrew Hogg, Steve Borg, Joseph Zerafa, Zach Muscat, Andrei Agius, Sam Magri, Ryan Fenech, Andre Schembri, Bjorn Kristensen, Steve Pisani, Alfred Effiong.
Coach: D. Mangia.
