Malta vs Luxembourg: prediction & betting odds 26 March 2026

Malta National Team Form

The team finished second in its group, avoiding defeat in three of four matches (two wins, one draw). However, victories came with great difficulty and by the narrowest of margins, which points to problems in attack. The most recent meeting with Andorra (0:0) also failed to impress — the result looks more like a rescue act, given that Malta spent a significant part of the match down to ten men. It is also worth noting that the side’s goalscoring record leaves a lot to be desired: across the last four matches, it has found the net only twice.

• The team have avoided defeat in 7 of their last 8 home matches in the Nations League (3 wins, 4 draws).

• No more than three goals have been scored in 9 of the Maltese team’s previous matches in this tournament.

• Malta have not scored more than once in seven straight Nations League matches.

Potential Malta Lineup (3-4-3)

Henry Bonello – Gabriel Mentz, Kurt Shaw, Zach Muscat – Ryan Camenzuli, Alexander Satariano, Matthew Guillaumier, Teddy Teuma – Ilyas Chouaref, Joseph Mbong, Jodi Jones

Luxembourg National Team Form

Luxembourg finished bottom of their group. The team failed to record a single win (three draws, three defeats), conceding the most in the quartet — seven goals. The national side last celebrated a Nations League victory back in 2022, when it beat Lithuania 1:0 at home. The team’s defensive numbers are also worth highlighting: in the last 10 Nations League matches, it has conceded 14 goals. However, nine have been scored across the same spell, including three in an away match against Turkey, which shows an ability to create chances even against strong opponents.

• Across 12 away Nations League matches, the team have recorded 5 wins (4 draws, 3 defeats).

• At least one of the teams has failed to score in 5 of the national side’s last 7 matches in this tournament.

• Luxembourg have scored in 8 of their last 10 away matches in the Nations League.

Potential Luxembourg Lineup (4-4-2)

Anthony Moris – Laurent Jans, Dirk Carlson, Seid Korac, Marvin Martins – Leandro Barreiro, Mathias Olesen, Christopher Martins Pereira, Olivier Thill – Aiman Dardari, Danel Sinani
