- Competition: World Cup Qualification 2026 (UEFA)
- Date: 7th June, 2025
- Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
- Venue: Ta’Qali
Two of the supposedly weakest teams in Group G of the 2026 World Cup Qualification will battle it out at the Ta’Qali Stadium on Saturday for a possible first win in the qualifiers.
Lithuania are currently third in the table after picking up their first point of the qualifiers at home to Finland, which ended 2-2 thanks to Gvidas Gineitis' goal.
Malta, on the other hand, are bottom of Group G after two games. They lost their opening game against Finland 1-0 and then suffered a 2-0 defeat to Poland on the second matchday.
Malta - Lithuania Betting Tips: Under 2.5 Goals Total
Neither Malta nor Lithuania are known for their offensive capabilities. The Maltese are still without a goal after two games in this World Cup qualifying campaign, while Lithuania did manage to score twice against Finland a few months ago, but they did so for the first time after failing to score more than one goal in eight consecutive games. As Malta hardly score any goals themselves, but are rather well drilled defensively, and Lithuania are also unable to break down their opponents' defence, we expect a game with few goals. A bet on under 2.5 goals seems plausible.
