by Thobelani Moyo in World Cup Predictions
On Thursday, Malta and the Netherlands are set to lock horns at Ta' Qali National Stadium on matchday seven of the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers. Malta is anchored at the bottom of the table in Group G, while the Netherlands, with a game in hand, leads at the top. Here's our match prediction.
Malta has undeniably reaffirmed its status as the lowest-ranked team in Group G. Emilio De Leo's side is propping up the group with two points to their name and is one of two sides, the other being Lithuania, that have yet to register a win.
The Reds' last match in the qualification campaign was a 1-1 draw against Lithuania. That result extended their winless run in this competition to five games (D2, L3).
The Netherlands have been a dominant side in Group G. Ronald Koeman's men have maintained a four-match unbeaten run, recording three wins and a solitary draw. Their success has been built on a potent attack (GF 14) and a solid defense (GA 3).
In their recent qualification match, the Oranje were drawn against Lithuania. What was expected to be a routine win in Kaunas turned into a cagey affair. Despite that, they managed to secure a hard-fought 3-2 victory.
When it comes to playing on the road in this competition, they have been a sight for sore eyes, winning their last two matches.

Our Malta vs Netherlands Prediction
Malta's performance in the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers has been underwhelming. The hosts are still searching for their first win in Group G of this tournament. This is not the ideal matchup to achieve that, considering they've lost six consecutive matches. They failed to score in any of those outings while being outscored 36-0.
The Netherlands' last match against Malta was in the FIFA World Cup European qualifiers. The visitors secured a commanding 8-0 win. Given the disparity in quality and class, their victory shouldn't be doubted. Our Malta vs Netherlands prediction: Netherlands to win and over 3.5 goals.
