With the Greeks, the Maltese national team rolled out a draw with a score of 2:2. With a minimum score, the Maltese lost to the "green army" from Ireland.

Italy
The Italian national team currently ranks eighth in the FIFA ranking. Let's refresh our memory of the results of the recent matches of "Squadra Azzurra". In the League of Nations, the Italian national team took first place in its group, leaving behind the Hungarians, Germans and the British. Last November, the Azure team played in two friendly matches. With a difference of two goals, the Italians beat the Albanian national team. The Italian national team lost to the Austrians with a score of 0:2. On March 23, Squadra Azzurra hosted the English Lions at home. With a score of 2:1, the England team prevailed over the Italian team.
Figures and statistics:
- In one match out of five extreme "islanders" won one victory
- The Azure Team won in three of the last five matches
- Four extreme full-time matches of the teams ended with a total of less than 2.5 goals.
ForecastDespite the statistics of the teams' personal matches, we will see at least three goals scored in the upcoming game.
The Italians will keep their gates intact.
