Our prediction for the match Andorra vs Malta
The "Tricolor" is historically one of Europe's weakest sides. This was confirmed in last year's qualifiers, where they managed just two points from ten matches, drawing with Kosovo and Belarus. They did manage a 1-1 friendly result against South Africa in March, but have otherwise been consistently losing both in official and friendly matches. The "Knights of St. John" faced a tough group with North Macedonia, Ukraine, England, and Italy, finishing without a single point. However, they managed to secure draws in March friendlies against Slovenia and Belarus, though losses returned in the summer.
Michele Marcolini's squad is dealing with several roster issues. Apap retired, while Yankam, Lonardelli, and Montebello are injured, and Jones was dropped. Malta, already limited in depth, is further weakened by these absences. Andorra has also seen significant departures over the past year, including long-time captain Ildefons Lima, Alaverda, and Clemente. Veteran midfielder Marc Vales is also unavailable.
Andorra warmed up with a friendly against Gibraltar but lost 0-1 after an early goal from Bent. Malta, on the other hand, had a challenging away game against Moldova, conceding twice before halftime.
