Poland need to win and swing the goal difference by a giant margin to have any chance of topping Group G in the UEFA section of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification campaign. This final group stage match on Monday in Malta between the fourth-placed Reds and the second-placed White-Reds comes with our prediction of a win for Poland and under 2.5 goals scored.
Ahead of the final matchday, Malta’s five points (W1, D2, L4) see them two points above bottom-placed Lithuania and five points behind third-placed Finland. Poland’s 14 points (W4, D2, L1) saw them three points behind leaders the Netherlands (W5, D2), but the Dutch have a 13-goal difference to make up.
Malta won 1-0 away at Finland last week for their first win of this qualification campaign. It’s too late to even make a move up the standings in the section, but that result halted a two-game losing streak.
Home record hasn’t been any better, as Malta have just one win from their last five home games (W1, D1, L3).
Poland drew 1-1 at home against the Netherlands, which means they need to win here and expect the Dutch to lose while making up for the goal margin difference. Three wins from their last four matches mean the Poles are likely to go for full points here.

Our Malta vs Poland Prediction
Malta are already eliminated from the qualification race, which isn’t a surprise looking at their historical record. They have only one win, but the biggest talking point is that they have scored just two goals so far. Poland have an outside chance to qualify directly for the World Cup, but that’s only a mathematical possibility. They need to win by at least a 14-goal margin, but even then Poland would need the Netherlands to lose.
This match may have few goals, and our Malta vs Poland prediction is Poland to win and less than 2.5 goals scored.
