Malta vs Russia prediction Facing the qualifying match for the 2022 World Cup to be played on Wednesday at the Ta Qali National Stadium. Will Malta be able to surprise and surpass the powerful Russian team? Read on for our free betting tips and predictions.
Malta vs Russia Betting Tips
Russia travels to Malta with the intention that the visitors end their losing streak at the Ta’Qali National Stadium.
Although an away win is expected, Russia will need to improve their form if they want to start their campaign well, as they have not won any of their last 6 matches (3 draws and 3 losses).
However, it should really only be a question related to Malta, who have lost 18 of their last 20 qualifying matches and have only won 1 against the Faroe Islands.
Malta have conceded an average of 2.7 goals at home in their last 10 home qualifying matches since 2017, scoring only goals in those matches. Therefore, Russia should be able to win with some margin.
Important Betting Statistics
- Malta are seven games unbeaten, but have not faced any true quality nation in that time.
- Russia have lost their last two matches and are winless in their last seven.
- These two nations have never met before.
Malta vs Russia Bet Prediction
It is almost impossible to see Malta come out of this match with anything, despite their home advantage and good results lately.
We bet that Russia will be too strong for its rival and will overcome the Asian handicap, which is currently -2.25. We are predicting a 4-0 win for the visitors in a match that should give them a perfect start to their qualifying campaign.
