Gibraltar - Malta: team news and expert analysis
Gibraltar could have earned promotion to League C, but lost twice to Latvia in March, 0-1 on both occasions. In the autumn, they drew twice: 0-0 at home to Andorra and 1-1 away to Malta. They did, however, beat Liechtenstein 2-0 in a friendly.
Malta also came up short in the spring play-offs, losing 5-0 on aggregate over two games against Luxembourg. They then picked up plenty of wins in friendlies, and went on to beat Andorra twice in the Nations League. Against their current opponents, though, they had to settle for a home draw.
During this international break, the hosts have already travelled to Andorra. A 2-0 defeat saw them drop to the bottom of the table. Their opponents have been preparing specifically for this fixture.
