Malta - Andorra
Malta look to build on narrow advantage at Ta' Qali
Malta carry a slender lead into this UEFA Nations League D Group 1 encounter at Ta' Qali on 4 October 2026. Having secured a 2-1 victory in the first leg of this contest back on 24 September 2026, the hosts are well-positioned to consolidate their standing in the group. The expected XI, featuring the creative presence of Teddy Teuma in midfield and Henry Bonello in goal, will aim to dictate the tempo and deny Andorra any opportunity to overturn the aggregate deficit.
Andorra arrive seeking a response after their recent struggles to find the back of the net, having drawn 0-0 with Gibraltar in their most recent outing. With Iker Alvarez expected to start between the posts, the visitors must tighten their defensive structure to stay in contention. History favors the hosts, who have maintained a steady run against their opponents, including a 1-0 victory in September 2024, and they will look to leverage that psychological edge to secure another positive result.
